Barack Obama is on the cusp of naming his running mate and a lot of the speculation is centering around Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh and Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine. At least, those are the three that rated photos in today's Washington Post and New York Times stories.
But if you ask the delegates to the Democratic convention, which a New York Times/CBS News poll did, their runaway favorite is Hillary Clinton. Twenty-eight percent chose Clinton in a survey conducted July 16 - Aug. 17 among a random sample of 970 delegates with Biden getting 6 percent, John Edwards 4 percent (at least, pre-Aug. 8) and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Bayh tied at 4 percent.
