Around 2:00 AM: From the Obama website:
“Breaking news: the text message is out and it’s official… Barack Obama has selected Joe Biden to be his running mate!
Please take a minute to share your story with Joe and welcome him into our movement for change. For those of you who are from Delaware and know Joe best, we’d love to hear your experiences as a constituent of Senator Biden’s. “

Update, 10:17, From MSNBC:
“The Associated Press has learned that Delaware Senator Joe Biden is Barack Obama’s choice to be his vice presidential running mate.
Biden, who has served in the Senate since being elected at the age of 29, is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and will add his foreign policy expertise to the Democratic ticket.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26010055/
Update, 10:13, From CNN:
“Sen. Barack Obama has picked Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate.
Delaware Sen. Joe Biden has been tabbed as Sen. Barack Obama’s vice-presidential running mate.
The longtime Democratic senator was long considered a likely choice for vice president, but the buzz surrounding him intensified after he returned earlier this week from a two-day trip to the Republic of Georgia after Russian troops invaded.
Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, brings years of experience that could help counter GOP arguments that an Obama administration would be inexperienced on foreign policy.” The rest at: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/23/biden.democrat.vp.candidate/index.html
10:03: No details. Nothing more than CNN confirms, at this point, in a red banner at the top of cnn.com.
Discuss…
Obama and Biden will serve America and will make the world a better place for our children. No negative comments or cheep propaganda against Obama and Biden will succeed to deceive true Americans. Americans are not stupid to be deceived by manipulations and scare tactics created through greedy, and power thirsty elements who so very easily can lie; who look for anything to use against good citizens. We all know what is right and what is wrong.
