Ever since Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination, all everyone has been wondering is when he will announce his running mate.

Will it be today? Tomorrow? Five minutes from now? No one knows for sure, but the announcement is expected very, very soon.

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reports:

In the run-up to the Democratic convention, Sen. Barack Obama will showcase his new running mate Saturday at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, where he kicked off his campaign Feb. 10, 2007.

 

This doesn't mean that Obama will name his running mate at that time and place. He could make that announcement anytime from this morning on. The campaign will send out text messages and e-mails to break the news.

That’s right – e-mails and text messages. No need to make this a bigger deal by releasing a press release.

It’s good to know that the Obama camp is Internet-ready and tech-savvy, because no one wants a President that is out of touch with modernity.

You know – like that other guy.
