AIDE'S MISTAKE REVEALS OBAMA'S VP PICK EARLY (PULLED FROM CNN)
It's Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana. Original link is dead. This is a screenshot courtesy of roses of sharon.
As a web page designer.. most people don’t add random dots.
You have dot.com
.org
or .net
but .vp?
Everytime you add a page it normally goes like that
/evanbayh
/evanbayhvppage1
and so on...
I’m starting to think this is a fake
They would not end a story with .VP
When Birch Bayh was defeated by Dan Quayle, the campaign saying was Bye, Bye, Bayh.
You’re on to something here.
Omigod...is McCain picking Paris Hilton as veep?
At least I think it looks like a slightly different font.
Here is another article form Election Center.

I looked for matching words like “campaign” and the “g”s look diff (i.e. flat vs. curved bottom). But I am not expert...and my eyesight sucks.
The URL looks fishy
Here's more from Shots on the House:
Could it be a hoax? Could CNN have dropped the story from their website because it was bad reporting and it could not be confirmed? Was Barack Obamas aide simply sending a test e-mail to a few people and sent it to the wrong mailing list? Either way, heres what a CNN story that has since been pulled said about Baracks VP pick:
The entire screenshot has been uploaded online, and this whole thing was caught by Matt from The ACT Blog who showed me the screenshot before CNN either caught their mistake or did a favor for the Obama campaign (as if their coverage wasnt favorable enough). Im also hearing rumors the screenshot was doctored (Matt got it from someone else). If I was a betting man right now though, Id say Bayh, but maybe it was a mistake. Well see.
I said exciting.
This guy is as swarmy as Edwards... and we saw how well he worked out!!! Romney would tear up Bayh is a vp debate!!
Here’s one they ended with “vp.picks”:

But I still think it looks fake.
If this is true the muslim Hussein is dead in the water anyway. the SHRILLARY! supporters won't take this lying down and will crucify him.
Agree I think we were all anticipating a head fake to judge the reaction. However if this it accurate can you imagine HRH BHO with national secrets.
If "W" was a 'shrub',,,,does this make Bayh a "twig"?
Sarah Palin booooring, he should pick Ann Coulter, that would be exciting! :)
