Former Senator Sam Nunn had been considered as a vice-presidential candidate to join the ticket of Democratic nominee Barack Obama before Delaware Senator Joe Biden was formally selected for the position.
On August 21, 2008, it appeared that Nunn had dropped from the VP running after plans were revealed for Nunn to travel out of the country until the following Monday. This schedule conflicted with plans for Obama to campaign with his VP selection in Springfield, Illinois on Saturday, confirming that Nunn was likely not the VP choice.The Associated Press: Nunn appears to have dropped from VP running (August 21, 2008)
