Barack Obama could announce VP candidate by text
August 19, 2008
St. Paul, Minn. — Barack Obama could announce his choice for vice president as soon as tomorrow morning.

All Things Considered host Tom Crann talked with Future Tense's Jon Gordon about what this means for the campaign and for voters.
