Sen. Joe Biden (aka Greasy Joe) is likely Barack Obama’s running mate, multiple sources tell Howard Fineman.
Within the last few hours I’ve spoken with two of the finalists for the role of Barack Obama’s running-mate, and to two other sources who are close to the process.
My bottom line is this: Barring a big surprise or last-minute change of heart, the choice is likely to be Sen. Joe Biden of Deleware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee…
“If I had to bet my life on it, I’d bet it is Joe,” said one of the other contenders.
Said another, “Barack is moving toward a seasoned Beltway type, and that probably means Biden.”
I’m still not entirely convinced, but this seems to be the closest we’ve gotten to reliable VP information. Via Hot Air.
