Obama Plans Trip To Bayh's Indiana On Saturday?
Updated: Barack Obama’s campaign is neither confirming nor denying reports that the candidate has a stop planned in Indianapolis on Saturday – the day he is widely anticipated to appear with his vice presidential running mate for the first time.
The Nashville Post reported earlier that Obama’s planned trip to Indianapolis included a "major event," adding that Obama operatives are being called in from around the country to attend.
CBS News chief political consultant Marc Ambinder confirmed the visit and CBS News’ Maria Gavrilovic reports that the campaign is officially not confirming or denying the plans despite other reports citing campaign officials saying it is not accurate.
CBS News previously reported that Obama plans a major rally with his newly announced running mate in Springfield, Illinois, on Saturday at the site where Obama launched his presidential campaign.
As a cautionary note, Obama’s schedule has been filled with tantalizing clues to his VP selection this week. He’s visited states like New Mexico (Gov. Bill Richardson) and will be in Virginia tomorrow (Gov. Tim Kaine), and Indiana remains a potential swing state regardless of who is selected.
Obama plans to announce his selection first in e-mail and text messages to supporters.

See all 94 CommentsThere you go again, putting your foot where your mouth is. Old man McCain will be steamrolled by the Obama Shuffle, and, frankly, there''s nothing he can do about it. Got geritol?
Well, you know they are all VERY ''bitter....clinging to guns and religion with antipathy towards those not like themselves.''
BLAHAHAHA....perhaps you have either been unable or unwilling to keep up with current events. Please remove your Ray Charles shades and see the landscape as it truly is.
Ubama is fading. The more that people find out about him, the less they like him.
Wonder if smallwhtdonkey would have sufficed instead. Three words for you: "President-elect Obama"...I trust that after eight years of President Obama you will then know how to spell his name correctly, thus dropping the "U" and adding the "O". Remember, just close your letter "U" at the top, okay? There''s a new sheriff in town. Every knee will bow.

He may be your Jesus, but he''s not mine. McCain is up by 5-6 pts today. Quite a bounce for Saturday''s tromping of Ubama on national TV.
Ubama should be 20 pts ahead of McCain by now but like the poor candidate he is, he can''t seem to close the deal with the American people.
So far, all he has are blacks and white idiots suffering from White Guilt Syndrome.
Before you continue to boast about gramps'' five point lead, let me let you in on a little secret; remember this every time you think old man McCain actually stands a chance against the Obama Shuffle: Obama doesn''t want to steamroll an old man before giving him a chance to throw in the white towel, soooo, old man McCain had better consider his options real soon or suffer the same thumping lil'' missy got. Be smart old man, take the dive or get KO''d beeootch!!!

George Hussein Onyango Obama, Senator Barack Obama''s long lost brother was tracked down living in a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi
Every knee shall bow.

Reflecting his character as a Kerry-like shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, inexperienced, elitist, narcissistic, flip-flopping gas-bag, hussein will likely pick a running mate who is so bland, unknown and undistinguished he won''t even have a shadow. That is the only way the empty-suit hussein won''t be upstaged by a VP with all those things he doesn''t have, like experience, competence, skill, good judgment, accomplishments, etc.

yawn you are suffering from a government school education and reading too many leftwing websites. Try thinking for yourself, for a change!
Yeah, you talk some good smack, but Ubama is about 1" wide and 1" deep. He''s a genuine lightweight. Ubama doesn''t have the credibility you give him credit for.
But if that''s the fantasy you like to whack off to, have at it! LOL

And those are his good points! LOL
Eddie in Nashville
And your point about trying to link Mr. Obama somehow with the choices that his brother makes are???????????????????????????
So sorry you and the Karl Rove likes have nothing better to do but try to smear Mr. Obama, but NOTHING ever seems to stick, huh? Must be fustrating for you folks...let me let you in another lil'' secret, the Karl Rove types fear Mr. Obama because unlike the weenies before him in 2000 & 2004, Mr. Obama will hand the Karl Rove types their ***** if they dare mess with the Obama Shuffle. See, when Mr. Obama takes a jab, he lands a knock-out punch.
But, but....I just picked it up from the cleaners. :)
This is typical lib B$! If you disagree with Ubama, it''s because you hate blacks. Please....
Hurry...you''re missing Oprah!
High-Fives!!!
You seem to be still having some issues with your letters "O" and "U", so--once again--that''s Obama--not Ubama.
As far as old man McCain goes, he''ll either take the dive offered by Mr. Obama and toss in the white-towel or get KO''d like the lil'' punk *** old man beeootch he is. Be smart old man. Why get steamrolled by the Obama Shuffle when you can graciously concede defeat to the better man.

Sorry ''my friend'' LOL....sorry, couldn''t resist. I HATE it when McCain says that!
Back to your point....you can''t blame this one on Rove. Ubama is doing it all by himself. His past is haunting him and will continue to do so.
He''s a victim. People are sick of that ''black man shuffling down the levee'' routine.
He has NO experience....in anything. Well, he was a community acivist, so I guess he can shout thru a bullhorn.
I refer to Ubama as such when the LAMEstream media started referring to Osama as Usama. That was right around the time Ubama was emerging as a real contender and the press was trying to divert attention away from his muslim ties to bin Laden (in name only.)
So, the ACTUAL pronunciation of Obama is Ubama.
First, the only person who needs a bullhorn would be old man McCain, so he can sprout more BULL$hit out of the sides of his mouth. Unless you can offer specifics about these so-called issues in his past dragging Mr. Obama down, you and the Karl Rove types still come up with NOTHING on Obama, but nice bluff though--cannot blame you for trying I guess. Old man McCain will be steamrolled by the Obama Shuffle.
Sounds like you should take your "U" and "O" issues up with the MSM media then and simply spell Mr. Obama''s name correctly in this political forum. Wouldn''t that be the decent thing to do? Or is decency something foreign to old man McCain and his supporters? Imagine that, old man McCain instructing his supporters to play on the fears of the American voter--shame on grandpa.
Well let''s see.....there''s his association with known America hating terrorists (Ayers, et al), there''s his 20+ year associuation with a so called ''church'' that is both racist and race baitng, there''s his beautiful wife who has bought in to ''black liberation theology'', there''s Ubama''s own comments which are elitist and condescending.......need I continue?
You''re right.....it''s not really a slam against Obama because he didn''t have anything to do with it.
But because the LAMEstream media is in the tank for Obama, it really tweeks the libs on here when I refer to him as Ubama.
But out of respect for you, I will address him as Obama.
last I checked Mr. Obama''s FORMER Pastor and Church WASN''t running for president. Am I missing something here?????
Also, don''t go believing nonsense about so-called whitey-tape, etc.
Again, Obama is the candidate--not his FORMER pastor, wife Michelle, etc. I know it''s hard/fustrating trying to bring down perfection...remember, every knee will bow. FYI: Every doesn''t mean only some, so you may want to invest in some knee pads before the morning after Election Day, because there''s gonna be a new sheriff in town real soon.

Just a notes of gratitude/thanks for referring to Mr. Obama with an "O" instead of a "U". You should actually vote for him and join the winner circle, or sulk in sour grapes with the rest of old man McCain''s crowd...
Yes......''play with dogs, smell like doggie''
Your mom was right....it''s really true.
Please tell me you are being sarcastic when you agree with bigwhtpony.
Well, in the interest of intellectual honesty, all that stuff seems to matter where McCain is concerned. Can''t have it both wasy....sorry.
And Obama is far from perfection. Hell, he''s not even 100% down with the struggle. He''s cafe au lait! LOL
In case you didn''t hear--remember, Mr. Obama isn''t associated with that church or the pastor. He left them about four months ago.

No, I never believed that.
In your case, there were 9998 experiments too many. Your brains are pulp....even for a rat! :)
Posted by BLKPRESIDENT at 02:53 PM : Aug 20, 2008
Thanks....I''ll take my chances :)
But the best part is that the networks don''t have to do any actual work or reporting. They can just bloviate over and over and continue their brilliant job of keeping the public in the dark about the details of events that matter.
Yes, only after it became in his political best interest to do so. Had it not been for bringing it to the light, he''d still be there. I believe he really believes all that stuff.
The reason why you sense a double-standard where matters apply to Mr. Obama and grampy is simple: old man McCain initiates the ground-rules of engagement and then cries like a lil'' beeootch when Mr. Obama slams him on the very issues he introduces. Again, unlike the weenies in 2000 & 2004, Mr. Obama hits back when the other side resorts to karl Rove like tactics. Unfortunately, for these punk *** beeootches, Mr. Obama takes the jab but lands the knock out punches instead of the other way around. The Obama Shuffle cannot be beat. It''s really that simple.
Whoa, old man McCain didn''t put a whopping on nobody. Hold your horses...back the blankety-blank up and come back to reality.
As far as illegal drugs go, remember, Mr. Obama said in his admission about them is that he USE to, not still do...let''s get real people.

Time will tell. In the meantime, it should get interesting. We shall agree to disagree. :)
Has it ever occured to you that Mr. Obama was leaving the church BEFORE the story broke--just a simple matter of bad timing is all. Mr. Obama is in no way beholden to Reverend Wright''s teachings.
