The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.
Sources also tell ABC News that two others said to be finalists for the position of Obama’s running mate — Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Virginia Gov Tim Kaine — have been told they have not been selected for the vice presidential slot.
Kaine flew to Denver earlier today, is in Denver tonight and has no plans to leave in the next 24 hours. Bayh is at his Washington, DC, home with his family.
Biden was last seen minutes ago at his Wilmington estate where his extended brood is gathering.
The Obama campaign would not comment, but Obama mentioned Biden twice in speeches on the trail this week, both times heralding his legislative leadersip in East Asia.
At the VFW convention in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday, Obama said, “we must help Georgia rebuild that which has been destroyed. That is why I’m proud to join my friend, Senator Joe Biden, in calling for an additional $1 billion in reconstruction assistance for the people of Georgia.”
And in Chesapeake, Virginia, Friday night, Obama heralded Biden’s efforts to provide economic assistance to Afghanistan.
“I joined with people like Joe Biden to increase a billion dollars of investment,” he said.

August 22nd, 2008 at 8:51 pmWho wants to vote for Obama bin Biden!!
I’ve been waiting weeks to coin that joke. Like Rush said today, “We don’t pray a lot on this show, but please let this be so!”
Now when do Deval Patrick or Neal Kinnock speak in Denver? Never mind, Obama bin Biden will do all their speeches for them.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:53 pm“Just words? Just speeches?”
mwahahahahahah!!! it makes sense that one dumbass would pick another dumbass to run with!!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:15 pmBidens quote about obama… memories
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:16 pmI’ve been praying for this. Biden is clean and articulate. Should make a good reason fence sitters to vote McAmnesty!
What are we putting the over/under at for Biden to say something completely stupid?
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:18 pmPLAGIARIST MULTIPLE OFFENDER…THREAT LEVEL RED. BIDEN IS ALSO A MASSIVE BUFFOON!!!!!!!!!!BUT HE DID DESCRIBE OBAMA AS A NICE, ATTRACTIVE AFRICAN AMERICAN…
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 pmDid Biden make it to Georgia like he was planning on? Pelosi just sent two more Democrats today. Are the Dems planning on using Georgia as campaign strategy? I’m sure Georgia appreciates all the help it can get, but the Democratic majority in Congress is so liberal, and some legislators pro-Russian, that this isn’t adding up.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 pmI look at that picture and I see one thing. FAILURE. Complete utter abysmal humiliating failure!!! My cheeks hurt from laughing.
I need a
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:02 pm“Plugs”Biden, the consummate east coast lib fuktard poster child of whats wrong in the U.S.of A.
August 23rd, 2008 at 8:45 amThe only thing this POS brings to the table is his smart ass mouth.
Will anyone in an audience ask him if he still thinks Obambi is “nice and clean and articulate?”
