The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.
Sources also tell ABC News that two others said to be finalists for the position of Obama's running mate -- Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Virginia Gov Tim Kaine -- have been told they have not been selected to be Obama's running mate.
Kaine flew to Denver earlier today, is in Denver tonight and has no plans to leave in the next 24 hours. Bayh is at his Washington, DC, home with his family.

That takes the possibility that this is all a diversion way down. I doubt the secret service would play along to divert the press attention from the real VP. And if Obama hoodwinks the SS, he will be very sorry.

HotAir is reporting via the Weekly Standard blog that a relative of Biden has confirmed that he’s the pick.

Can he be VP and still keep his job as the stupidest man in the United States Senate?

He is the only guy left dumb enough to take this assignment.
The rest would like to keep their political future. Who has ever lost the election as VP and made a come back?

Obama took so much time to get his announcement out that it has already leaked everywhere. Talk about being inept — cannot even send a text message he promised his supporters they would get.

All this stupid theatrics waiting game for VP selection and it will end up being Joe Biden one of the most boring politicians in history.

This will be hilarious. B.O. needs a teleprompter to say good morning, and Biden never shuts up. B.O. won’t get a word in edgewise.

And if Obama hoodwinks the SS, he will be very sorry. Although Obama is just about the sorriest person on the face of the earth, he is never sorry for anything he does.
(And that sentence makes perfect sense, it really does.)

looks like Obama tried to play the game a little too long. Now instead of everyone waiting breathlessly for THE text, word has leaked out and he lost the grand announcement he was looking for. Couldnt happen to a better guy! snicker.
