According to sources who spoke to MSNBC on condition of anonymity, Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana and Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia have been informed by Barack Obama that neither will be his choice for a running mate.
Rising to the top of the list is a Nancy Pelosi endorsement--U.S. Representative Chet Edwards of Texas, who serves a predominately Republican district as a Democrat.
Other top possibilities include Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Senator Joe Biden, Senator Hillary Clinton (a very unlikely choice), New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and several other less-likely choices such as Chris Dodd, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Chuck Hagel.
But the Obama camp remains tight-lipped about the choice, whom Obama says he will announce in the morning by text message just prior to a media event at the Illinois capital of Springfield, where the official announcement will be made.
