CBS News chief political consultant Marc Ambinder confirms that Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Indianapolis on Saturday-a nugget that is sure to add to speculation that the Democrat will pick Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh to be his running mate.
The Nashville Post, which broke the news of Obama's impending visit, reports that the trip to Indianapolis includes a "major event" and that senior Obama officials are being called in from around the country to attend.
CBS News previously reported that Obama plans a major rally with his newly announced running mate in Springfield, Illinois, on Saturday at the site where Obama launched his presidential campaign.
A grain of salt should be taken if you're looking to read really far into this announcement. A swing-state push was planned for Saturday, and our geographic proximity to Illinois makes a visit pretty logistically sound, regardless of who the VP pick happens to be.
Also, the word on the street is that ABC news received a flat denial on the trip details, so everyone should use caution when interpreting the tea leaves.
