From the shadows to center stage--Obama's VP pick will report in to work pronto, the scuttlebutt says. Meanwhile, various news sources and pundits have created a bingo card of possibilities.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. ) - Barack Obama's newly minted running mate will join the Democratic hopeful onstage Saturday at a rally in this capital city where Obama launched his White House bid, a campaign official said.

A senior Obama adviser told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday that Obama and his veep choice will appear in front of the former state Capitol where Abraham Lincoln once served. The last time Obama appeared there, he announced he was running for president.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff.

At least we now have a set timetable as to when Obama is going to pick his VP. I'm getting sick and tired of all the speculation. Just get it done with Senator!
