Will Obama Name Bayh VP today?

Barack Obama was in Indiana overnight and has a speech on energy policy today.

Officially, Barack Obama will deliver an energy-policy speech Wednesday to citizens in Elkhart, Ind. But the focus of the political chattering class will be on the man sitting shotgun at the event: Evan Bayh, the Indiana senator thought to be on the likely Democratic presidential nominee's short list of vice-presidential candidates

Rumors over the weekend are that Obama will be naming Bayh his vice president on this trip. Adding fuel to the fire, ObamaBayh08.com directs you to the DNC website.

Bayh, of course, is denying all the VP talk.

Of all the candidates that have been mentioned as possible vice president candidates, Bayh is probably the least appealing. He voted for the war and was a past president of the DLC. I admit that Bayh would be a safe pick. He probably puts Indiana in play and brings some foreign policy experience.
