Palmetto Scoop: "A source inside the beltway informed me that high ranking officials
throughout Virginia were recently summoned to the governor's office for
an emergency meeting which reportedly involved discussions on the line
of succession if and when Kaine steps down to become Obama's running
mate."
Howard Fineman: "Within the last few hours I've spoken with two of the finalists for the
role of Barack Obama's running-mate, and to two other sources who are
close to the process. My bottom line is this: Barring a big
surprise or last-minute change of heart, the choice is likely to be
Sen. Joe Biden of Deleware, chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee."
Marc Ambinder: "A reader writes: What about Jack Reed of Rhode Island? A friend there says the town is
crawling with Secret Service and government plates. I don't know any
better but to trust him."
Ben Smith: "I thought it would be useful to revisit the very small store of actual information, which is: Chris Dodd, Tim Kaine, and Tom Daschle have been vetted. Sam Nunn says he has not."
Lynn Sweet: "The Obama team... will
showcase the new Obama ticket Saturday in Springfield at the Old State
Capitol, where presumptive Democratic nominee... officially kicked off his campaign in February, 2007... This does not mean that this is the time and place where Obama
announces his running mate; that could happen any time from Wednesday
morning on."
Tribble Ad Agency: "Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama
campaign... It appears OBAMASEBELIUS.COM is owned by the Obama Campaign, and the
'hidden' registration will turn into a website after the announcement.
Our lead noted that a site is already being designed .. and advertising
agencies are always full of leaks."
Update: A Political Wire reader emails to say he owns the domain name obamasebelius.com and that he's not affiliated with the Obama campaign in any way.
The Page: "Ridge is out. A GOP strategist says the former Pennsylvania Governor is no longer being considered as McCain's veep."
