Media: Obama will choose a running mate!
By: Michael Calderone
I’ve read enough Veepstakes articles today to know that Barack Obama is going to pick a running mate. The selection will happen at some point, likely with a "rollout," and possibly in the morning. Which morning? "Perhaps as soon as Wednesday morning," says the Times. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps….
In the Washington Post, Dan Balz writes on how jumpy everyone’s gotten in the press lately.
Nothing is certain, and one sign of how jittery everyone is about the timing and the choice came yesterday afternoon, when the gossipy Drudge Report posted an item that said, "Paper: Obama may announce VP in AM." That set off alarms in newsrooms across the country until Obama advisers shot it down — although it was not clear exactly what they were shooting down, other than that the announcement would come early this morning.
Guess I’m stuck relying on this thing.
