According to aides, Sen. Barack Obama has settled on his choice for a running mate and could announce his choice in an early morning alert to supporters as soon as Wednesday.
Obama issued a command to staff members that his decision not leak until supporters are notified. In fact, neither his choice nor any of the others had been notified late Monday. Aides said his top possible candidates include: Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana, Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.
As Obama gears up for the Democratic National Convention next week, his announcement will be made with text and email messages early in the morning to take advantage of a full day’s news cycle. He and his running mate will then begin visiting swing states. Plans call for them to be on the trail together for much of the time between the day of the announcement and the day Obama arrives in Denver, next Wednesday
