Media Reports All Point to Biden as VP

Reports from several major media outlets all point to Delaware Senator Joe Biden as Barack Obama's choice of a running mate:

- several hours ago, NBC News' Andrea Mitchell reported she had learned that both VA Governor Tim Kaine and Indiana Senator Evan Bayh had been informed by the Obama campaign that neither would be be the Democratic Veep nominee;

- two hours later, CNN confirmed the same information: Kaine and Bayh were out;

- within the past hour, ABC News is reporting that a detail of US Secret Service agents have been dispatched to Biden's Delaware home.

This is looking more and more conclusive. It seems a near certainty now that Biden is the man. Of course, it's worthwhile noting that each of the major news organizations have been wrong before, but the the chances of someone other than Biden being tapped for the Democratic Vice-Presidential slot seem very remote indeed. 

Why doesn't my cell phone have a text message yet?
