LENEXA, Kan. — After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.
KMBC’s Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That’s Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.
Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. The company president would not comment when asked by Mahoney about the reports. But at least three sources close to the plant’s operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.
Bayh has a reputation as a fiscally conservative Democrat. Bayh endorsed Hillary Clinton and it is believed that he could help the Obama ticket by delivering a key battleground state.
[UPDATE: That turned out to be pure speculation. It’s Biden]
Earlier today, WSJ retracted a wire item saying it was Gov. Kaine.
but at link provided in diary,the KMBC-TV video is of their Breaking News on their clue at the plant printing the bumper stickers… with pic of the bumper sticker and that the material will be shipped to Denver and Springfield, Illinois. The plant is a well respected organization…does work for GOP and Dem.
Reuters Wire quoting NBC News sources:

The late Thurman Munson’s peerless characterization of the NY sports press — “running around like a bunch of rats in a maze with no cheese in it” — seems appropriate here.
