No official word, but he’s now talking about being vetted in the past tense. As Allahpundit points out, Kaine’s also flying out to Denver on Friday night — strange, considering the VP is being announced on Saturday in Illinois.

Kaine’s reflections on being in the vice presidential mix were also tinged more with past tense than present.

“It makes me feel good…flattering,” Kaine said, “I’ve always thought it seemed a bit unlikely but I’m not going to tell you it hadn’t been fun.”

Asked if he has been let in to any conversations surrounding the Democratic veepstakes, Kaine said “I’m going to let the campaign take from here. They’re going to reveal what they want to reveal when they want to reveal it.”

“It’s been nice to be mentioned but I’m going to let them do the heavy lifting at this point,” he added.

That basically leaves Bayh, Biden, Clinton, Sebelius, or Clark. Obama referred to his VP pick as a “he” the other day, so we can probably rule out both Clinton and Sebelius. That leaves us with Bayh, Biden, or Clark.
