Veepstakes: It's Biden!

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Obama-Biden '08

The official announcement will come later today, but, following much speculation, sources are confirming that Obama has chosen Biden to be his running mate.

Biden has his problems, to be sure, but I'm pleased. He was the best of the leading contenders and I think he's a solid pick. (Indeed, I've been predicting that it would be Biden for some time.)

More at Memeorandum. And more from us later.

We'll have extensive coverage of the Biden pick over the weekend and then of the Democratic convention next week.

For now, though, I'm off to watch the Olympics. Good night.
