up-date on potential Democratic VP

A very brief addition to the two possibilities mentionned earlier. 
We're hearing a lot of talk of :
  • Tim Kaine, all the more so since we are now in the state that elected him governor: Virginia.  He has been campaigning in Virginia with Obama these last couple days. Remember Virginia might be an important battleground State since it might swing from the Republicans to the Democrats.  This picture was taken yesterday on highway 29 between Amherst and Charlottesville: the Obama yard sign is home made and I saw a couple from the road; they were possibly put up for Obama's visit to the State or may have been there for longer. 

  • Evan Bayh, a former Governor and current Senator from Indiana.
For a very short summary of why these men are likely or not to be chosen please refer to Ken Rudin's summary analysis on NPR's website. 

When Barack Obama will announce his decision his supporters will be the very first ones to know since the campaign will send them an email or a text message before making a press release. This strategy is very much in line with the grassroots' campaign image it is trying to uphold.
