Lynn Sweet reports that the Obama campaign has served the old state capitol grounds in Springfield, Illinois.
For various reasons, I do not believe that Obama will formally announce the nominee on Friday.
So -- the e-mail goes out Friday night, and the nominee and the candidate appear together for the first time in Springfield.
Then they'll go on a biographical tour.
At some point, the VP nominee will have to break off in order to practice for his or her speech and to figure out how to put his or her affiars in order before joining the campaign full-time.
