One scenario was that the text announcement of Obama’s running mate would go out overnight, with all the morning news shows covering it this morning. That hasn’t happened. So now it looks like the text will probably go out this evening.
While inside the Beltway Democratic sources are continuing to say “watch Biden” (according to Mark Halperin of Time Magazine), and while Biden was more closed-mouth yesterday with the press and while some of the Biden family have gathered up in Montchanin, I am betting it is not Biden. I am betting it is Clinton.
UPDATE 1: CNN is reporting that Obama has called some of those on his shortlist to tell them that they have not been selected. Obama has no scheduled events today, and will be home in Chicago all day in preparation for his joint appearance with the VP in Springfield, Illinois tomorrow.
UPDATE 2: NBC’s Andrea Mitchell is reporting that one of Biden’s sons was flown in a private plane from Maine to the Biden home in Montchanin. She says Biden is “gathering the clan.”
