The New York Times said the presumptive Democratic nominee had not yet notified his prospective running mate, but was focusing mainly on Virginia governor Tim Kaine, Indiana senator Evan Bayh and foreign policy expert Senator Joseph Biden. Running mate anticipation was also building on the Republican side, as the party’s presumptive nominee, John McCain, would name his running mate on his 72nd birthday, August 29, the day after Obama’s acceptance speech before 70,000 people in Denver.
