Senator Biden Writing his VP Acceptance Speech

This only means that Biden will not be the nominee. Why would they allow this story to become public. It should be a highly kept secret. Biden has also said publicly that he didn't think that he would be the pick. This seems like a strange about face. Obama has probably already informed Biden that he wouldn't be his choice.

In an indication that he expects to be Barack Obama's vice-presidential pick, Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del) has begun writing a 50,000-word acceptance speech, aides to the senator confirmed today.

The address, which Mr. Biden has been working on around the clock, is an abridged version of a 200,000-word acceptance speech that Mr. Biden wrote when he ran for President in 1988.

According to those familiar with the speech, if Mr. Biden is tapped as Mr. Obama's vice presidential choice the Delaware senator would begin delivering the speech on Wednesday night of the Democratic convention and conclude it on Thursday night.

Representatives of television news divisions said they were undecided as to how to cover the Biden speech, but none were willing to commit to covering the speech live in its entirety.
