Here is the formal announcement sent out by the Obama campaign, with regards to confirming that the Associated Press (for once) didn’t screw up a story. This message supposedly went out at 9:36 a.m. (Chicago time, the only time zone that matters), but it literally just showed up minutes ago in my e-mail.
Friend --
I have some important news that I want to make official.
I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.
Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.
I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.
Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

Thanks for your support,
Barack
P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.
The Associated Press beat them by about 9 ½ hours – a thought that makes the old Unipresser in me want to wretch

EDITOR'S NOTE: For what it is worth, anybody in Asia (perhaps attending the Olympics in Beijing) got the Obama announcement (http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-obama-text-poll,0,505658.poll) at a prime hour in the day.
