EMPORIA, Va. --

On a day and night of political suspense, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden emerged as a leading contender Friday to
become Barack Obama's vice presidential pick as two running mate rivals learned they had been eliminated.

Virginia Gov. Tom Kaine spread word he had been ruled out and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana was told he was not Obama's choice, according to party officials.

The normally loquacious Biden maintained a low profile as associates said they believed - but did not know -
that he would be tapped. They added they had been asked to stand by in case their help was needed.

Additionally, several associates of Obama - including some at his campaign headquarters in Chicago
- said they believed Biden was the choice, though they cautioned they had not been told directly.

Compounding the mystery, conservative Rep. Chet Edwards of Texas emerged - however briefly - as a contender.
Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's chances remained uncertain. Senior aides said the Obama campaign had
never requested financial or other records from her.

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius rounded out the roster of likely contenders - a list that did not take into account
any surprises that Obama might harbor.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooooo," Sebelius told reporters who asked for her latest thoughts on the months-long search.
