Obama says he's made his veep choice

EMPORIA, Va - Barack Obama said Thursday he's chosen his running mate, but coyly kept all the details to himself as he campaigned with one leading contender and planned a major rally to present the Democratic ticket Saturday in Illinois.

...

"Wouldn't you like to know?" he said with a grin when asked by an Associated Press reporter when the text would be sent.

"I've made the selection, that's all you're gonna get," Obama said as he visited a store selling roasted Virginia peanuts as nonchalantly as any other day campaigning in a battleground state.

And according to Andrea Mitchell, Kaine and Bayh have been told they are not the veeps.

So that leaves Biden, which could be a decoy, and perhaps a surprise pick is in Obama's hat!!

Thank goodness it isn't Bayh. Prefer Biden- he has a tough mouth

Though I think it will be either Biden or Richardson, I heard a caller on the Rachel Maddow show suggest an interesting possibility. Someone who might just be beyond the reach of the Repub smeers. Carloine Kennedy. I seriously doubt Mrs. Kennedy would take the position if asked, but it is an interesting idea.

Caroline Kennedy is in charge of the search, if she picks her self then we can call her Dick Cheney because this is what Dick did. he was in charge of the search and picked him self.
