CBS: Obama to announce VP selection on Friday

CBS reports that Sen. Barack Obama’s announcement of his choice for running mate will come Friday afternoon.

CBS News has confirmed that Barack Obama’s campaign now plans to announce Obama’s vice presidential choice to supporters via email and text message on Friday afternoon. (This plan could change, of course.)

He will then appear with his running mate at noon the next day in Springfield, Illinois, CBS News chief political consultant Marc Ambinder reports.

As CBS goes on to note, media reports have narrowed the field down to Virginia governor Tim Kaine, Indiana senator Evan Bayh, and Delaware senator Joe Biden.

Biden, however, has told the media that it’s not him.

Explanation

I feel like I should explain my absence the past week or so.

I work at a college as a coordinator in residence life.  This means that I supervise RAs, and since I do that, I have the shared duty of training them.  Said training is happening this week, which means very few posts for this blog and its readership.

I will try to monitor news and post my own original thoughts as much as I can, but it’s difficult when there’s such an intense week to get through.

Please be patient, and I will be back next week and posting more and more over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you!
