Barack Obama chose Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate in the 2008 Election.
On August 22, 2008, a Kansas City television station had reported that bumper stickers bearing the slogan "Obama Bayh '08" were being produced by a local printing plant, suggesting that Indiana Senator Evan Bayh would be Barack Obama's running mate in the 2008 Presidential election.KMBC (Kansas City, MO): Bumper Sticker Could Indicate Bayh Is Obama's Veep (August 22, 2008)
Bumper Sticker a Hoax?
However MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell reported on Chris Matthews's Hardball that the bumper stickers are in the wrong font and that Joe Biden is the likely choice. The blog Hot Air also mentioned that the stickers are in the wrong font and that campaigns often create multiple campaign sticker combinations.Hot Air: Breaking: Bumper Sticker Says It’s Bayh (August 22, 2008)
