An ABC affiliate in Kansas City, Missouri, is reporting that a printing company in Lenexa, Kansas, has already started creating bumper stickers promoting "Obama Bayh '08":
After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.
KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material.
That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.
Is this the Messiah's final pick, or a little drama before the annoucement?
Stay tuned.
Update 8-23 | Matthew Sheffield. That would be a no. Obama has picked Delaware senator Joe Biden.

Wow...what to think....
August 22, 2008 - 19:35 ET by bigtimerWow...what to think.... which way to go...
Fox just got done reporting that they have confirmed a private plane has landed in Chicago from Delaware...blah blah blah...
I will be so glad when this whole election is over.
Some days I just feel like that...then again, some days like the conventions coming up...may be fun...at least some entertainment for us political junkies...
Btw...I also heard today that Chet Edwards may be in it not only because of Pelosi's recommendation but because they had tons of Obama/Edwards bumper stickers made up....you know how those dems try to save every penny, now don't you...hehehee
edit> Btw...for those who didn't know what I meant when I said Edwards, I was talking about John being the guy they made these stickers for before all of his troubles...therefore the Chet Edwards mention today...what a comedy show.

A case for Sarah Palin
August 22, 2008 - 23:46 ET by matthewleonmartinHear me out.
If it were anyone other than Biden, I would say Romney or Pawlenty.
But Obama putting Biden on the ticket opens the door for McCain to lock down a huge chunk of the female vote.
Think about the downsides to Palin:
1. She's too young/inexperienced. Can the man-child Obama or any of his surrogates make that argument, and not look foolish? No.
2. She would get creamed in the debates.
Perhaps, but consider this:
No one watches the VP debates. But I can promise you this, if a woman is on either ticket, women will be watching that debate.
And who do you think they will sympathize with, when the attack dog Biden starts blasting her in the debates?
Besides, she's a hot conservative.
Bayh is a dud. I hope
August 22, 2008 - 19:36 ET by ROTORHEAD77Bayh is a dud. I hope that he picks Bayh, that way the billary supporters will be up in arms over it!
As pointed out by McCain, this Obama bastard has judgement issues.
FLY ARMY!
Drudge has a link to an
August 22, 2008 - 19:46 ET by motherbeltDrudge has a link to an MSNBC story that says Bayh and Kaine have been informed that they are not "it."
In the latest development, sources told NBC News that Sen. Evan Bayh of
Indiana and Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia were informed they were out of
the running.
Gosh, this is just so exciting! He is keeping us on the edge of our seats until the last minute!!
NOT!
Can you imagine all those idiots who will sleep with their cellphones next to their heads in case the message comes in at 3 AM?
Also, can you imagine the media doing almost hourly updates on the speculation before McCain announces his pick?
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
I think this is a ruse. My
August 22, 2008 - 19:41 ET by DaBirdI think this is a ruse. My money is on Biden at this point, announced tomorrow morning. MSNBC has changed it's Saturday programming schedule to have live coverage all day, from 6am to 10pm. I'm betting Obama coordinated with NBC to make the announcement tomorrow morning sometime.
DaBird.... I think you
August 22, 2008 - 19:47 ET by bigtimerDaBird....
I think you are right...msnbc scheduling and all, it was just announced on Fox that the Obama campaign just announced they will not be announcing until ten in the morning text messaging of course....seems msnbc had the heads up first and foremost...
No surprise there... now is there?

When McCain gets ready to name his pick, they will probably squeeze it in as an "in other news" sidenote on their shows, inbetween the nonstop coverage of The One and The Other One.
Or, a One and a Two.......LOL
How about Thing One and Thing Two???

I still think it will be Biden
August 22, 2008 - 19:46 ET by buzzbeeWhat I really want to know is why it is taking Obama so long? Probably busy consulting 500 different people to get everyones opinion. Not a decisive leader. I hear he has a staff of 300 policy advisors.

I don't think Biden fits in
August 22, 2008 - 19:59 ET by motherbeltI don't think Biden fits in with his mantra of "change." I think he's been around longer than anyone!
But I'm sure Obama supporters will accept his new mantra of "Change, with Tradition."
BTW, I just give up on the internet today; the stalling and hangups are driving me nuts!
Yeah
August 22, 2008 - 20:00 ET by bigtimerYeah mb...
...but...but...Obama really liked the clean and articulate part....
Enough to make him VP...or else Aunt Ester told him that is who had better pick.
If it is him...I couldn't be happier....the only other one is Bayh who I couldn't be happier with, the difference is for me the is electoral votes that they each may bring...so I'm hoping it's Biden.
as an aside I don't think even with Bayh he could pull of Indiana...Bayh is nothing but milquetoast...pretty boy, but milquetoast boring.
Hows Obama gonna' keep Biden shut up if it is him? This is going to be so much fun...no matter who it is.

go figure...

From what I hear C. Edwards
August 22, 2008 - 20:35 ET by BlazerFrom what I hear C. Edwards is truly a centrist, he's against amnesty for illegals in any form, voted for the war in Iraq and supports a Constitutional ban on gay marriage. No way Obama picks him the nutroots and far-left would go nuclear.
I think Pewlousy advocating him is just shoring up votes, she knows O' needs to move sharply to the right to get elected and that Edwards will have no influence in an Obama admin., the same way she and Harry used the "Blue Dogs" to take over Congress.

August 22, 2008 - 22:36 ET by motherbeltSammy Davis Jr.'s autobiography was called "Yes I Can." He once had a TV show, and it was not only a bomb, it was a nuclear bomb.
Shortly thereafter, at a roast, Frank Sinatra quipped (paraphrasing): Sammy Davis' book was called "Yes I Can." After seeing his show, I sent him a telegram that said "No you can't."
That's what I think of when Barack starts the "Yes We Can!" chant.
