  AP Says It's Biden

  Posted Saturday, August 23, 2008 12:50 AM | By Christopher Beam

  The Associated Press is reporting that Joe Biden is Barack Obama's running mate, ending weeks of frenzied speculation. This passage is my favorite:

  The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.

  And yet ... he did just that. All those times David Plouffe said I would "be the first to know" -- just words?
