We're getting close, really close.

The NYT newsroom was buzzing late Monday afternoon after Obama-beat reporter Jeff Zeleny learned how the Dem hopeful has now finalized his choice for a running-mate.

Obama has set an elaborate roll-out to announce his decision that will begin with an early morning e-mail to supporters, perhaps as early as Tuesday, Zeleny and Adam Nagourney have been told.

A top source close to Caroline Kennedy tells DRUDGE -- the pick is more likely to come early Wednesday morning.

Is it Nunn? Is it Kaine? Is Hillary there? What about Kerry? Bayh? Biden?

Developing... all night [week?] long

I'm betting he's going to wait as long as he can because that means he will get more coverage in the news.

is not. It's said Britney is now on

Drudge's site has a poll and 38% think it will be a wildcard, 24% think Biden, 12% think Bayh, and 10% think it will be Hillary Clinton. Who knows, we'll find out tomorrow or the day after or the day after that or....

BigT, I like this story. It's good stuff. Janet Napotano. Wedsday is perfect for the news cycle. Never Friday. He may wait to announce just before he is scheduled to speak in Denver.
