So it seems the chances of an announcement today are fading.

A weekend announcement seems unlikely as well. The rumors that Obama would make an appearance on Saturday with his VP don't appear to be substantiated with anything official.

So that would leave the Convention.

Monday?

Tuesday?

Wednesday?

Imagine a stadium full of people all waiting for Obama, then 70,000 plus cell phones and pagers going off at once.

1. I must say, this pretty much sucks - glad I didn't give them my cell number. lol

[LaurenG]

2. I seriously doubt even he could wait THAT long

and he'd better not because I'm already disappointed since he didn't pick me to go to the convention to meet him. ;)

3. They said you wouldn't know till tomorrow

Why are people so hung up on this?

[thewiseguy]

4. and based on what you are claiming that he wont have a rally at Springfield this Saturday?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. I didn't say he wouldn't have a rally in Springfield on Saturday.

I'm saying there's nothing but rumors to support the idea that the VP will be there with him. As far as I know.

Have you got any?

[thewiseguy]

7. So he is going to show up at the Springfield rally with no running mate?

Yea that makes alot of sense!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Uh.

He's been showing up at plenty of rallies without a running mate.

What's so important about this one?

KO and Tweety are doing a live show tomorrow starting around noon for Obama's VP announcement in Illinois.

I doubt that Olbermann would have said that last night if they werent certain it was going to happen.

[DebbieCDC]

8. I don't think M$NBC would let KO go to Springfield and get egg on his face

Tweety on the other hand......

9. At this point - tonight during the olympics - or 6PM est (five or so minutes from now) for news -nt

[Metric System]

11. During the Olympics makes sense with all those millions of viewers. Certainly more viewers than the

evening news.

[democrat2thecore]

12. They could carry the cycle from evening news through the event (inside)

With 'breakaways' during slow moments during olympic coverage w/ news division.

[VADem11]

10. We'll know by tomorrow

And it is official that Barack will be in Springfield tomorrow.
