Yes, it will be however close enough to Obama's speech so that he can't attack the running mate.  Or it will be right after the speech.  I recommend the latter.  That way the Friday newspapers will have a mixed message.

McCain said tomorrow is Obama's day, so the leak shouldn't come from inside his campaign, well, we all know McCain likes to claim he can't control every aspect of his campaign so.. maybe it will leak from his campaign. He'll claim ignorance, of course.

I am hoping it will be kept strictly under wraps until 8/29.

It would be extremely tacky to leak the name on Obama's big day.

     I can wait a little bit to find out. Obama releasing his running mate's name felt like the mass of 100 metric tons being lifted from my shoulders.

Unless someone let's it slip today, I'm fairly sure that we won't know till Friday.  And, I think that unlike the Biden announcement, McCain will be able to make the announcement without the news media getting the scoop by watching the secret service SUV's heading to that persons home.  hahaha

If his running mate is actually going to be appearing with him in Dayton tomorrow morning, then I'm guessing it'll leak tonight, whether McCain wants it to or not.
