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.

Presently, Mr. Obama is in Virginia, so hopefully he will give serious consideration to L. Douglas Wilder before he ventures into Indiana. Oh well, at least it won''t be lil'' missy.

WellHell3,

There 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?

Ubama should plan a visit to that grass hut his ''brother'' lives in back in Kenya. Apparently, Ubama''s dad was quite the bigamist. LOL

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.

bigwhtpony?

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.

bigwhtpony..I''m not suffering from any of the issues you describe (which you hoped) but I am suffering from 8 years of "GOP economy" that my wallet frankly can''t afford any longer. And McSame is just another 4 years of failed policies. McSame over the past year has voted 97% in line with Bush. Plus I can''t vote for a person that is a liar, cheat, has a wife that steals drugs from a non-profit, was involved in the Keating Five Saving and Loan scandal, also the S&L savings and loan scandal of 1981, and, and, and..but I understand you are too young an naive to remember those days!! But I do!!

''pony,

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!!!

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.

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

THANK GOD!!!!! Obama is finally making a good and appreciated decision that will bridge in those Clinton supporters. Senator Evan Bayh is the most qualified being a Two Term Governor and US Senator as well as being on the Senate Armed Services Comm and the Senate Intelligence Comm. Bayh is very popular and Obama will carry Indiana with no problem. Now I can truly say I am pleased if Bayh is indeed the choice. OBAMA/BAYH 2008!!!!! Good job folks!!!

''pony,

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.

''pony,

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.

BLKPRESIDENT,

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.

''PONY,

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.

''pony,

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.

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.

One of the big reasons that McCain took a big jump in the polls.Is because Obama admitted on national TV to using illegal drugs.This is not what people want in a president.Plus McCain did put a whipping on Obama.

Oh yes, all this speculation about who will the 2 Presidential candidates choose for the past month has been ever so exciting.

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.

''Pony,

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.
