NBC: Bayh and Kaine Are Not the Choice

MSNBC is pretty sure, at least on Keith Olbermann's show, that it's not Bayh and Kaine. So at least at this hour the most liberal network on television is leaning toward Biden.

Olbermann and Richard Wolffe are both confidant that there will be no text message tonight.

The Drudge Report said this afternoon that:

KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reports a company in Kansas City, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material... MORE... Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either.

UPDATE3: Here is a rundown of Bayh's stances on the issues. NARAL gave him a 100 percent rating in 2007. And Carl Hulse of The New York Times earlier this month gave him a moderate-to-conservative rating in a story headlined: Indiana Senator Offers Obama Risks and Rewards

UPDATE: Bob Shrum, Pat Buchanan and Andrea Mitchell, while all three appeared on Chris Matthews' Hardball just minutes ago, all said the smart money is on Sen. Joe Biden. Biden's offical site is here. Here is a rundown of Biden's stances on the issues.
