The abcnews.com political blog is reporting that the Secret Service has been dispatched to protect Joe Biden, and that Bayh and Kaine have been told no.
The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.
Sources also tell ABC News that two others said to be finalists for the position of Obama’s running mate — Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Virginia Gov Tim Kaine — have been told they have not been selected to be Obama’s running mate.
Kaine flew to Denver earlier today, is in Denver tonight and has no plans to leave in the next 24 hours. Bayh is at his Washington, DC, home with his family.
Biden was last seen minutes ago at his Wilmington estate where his extended brood is gathering.
There are reports of Obama-Bayh 08 bumper stickers being printed in Kansas City.
There are now reports of Obama Bayh yard signs being printed as well.
It looks like your worst fears may be coming to pass.
Now I’ll know to believe something else. đŸ˜‰
I’ve been duped by drudge again!
The news was here on Monday.
You mean the guy who earlier in the week said Obama’s veep was going to be John Forbes Kerry?

last night after you posted it.
