WASHINGTON (AP) - Presidential candidate Barack Obama is hours
away from naming his running mate, as little-known Texas
congressman Chet Edwards is emerging as a finalist.
Democratic officials say that Edwards was one of the few
Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign, and he
was a finalist for the job.
Edwards is among a small circle of people mentioned, including
Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Sen. Joe
Biden of Delaware and Evan Bayh of Indiana.
Obama was expected to text message his choice later on Friday or
Saturday.
