Obama is increasingly likely to announce his running mate before August 8, when the Olympics seizes the US media spotlight. His opponent, Senator John McCain, will probably wait to make his choice public until August 29 – immediately after the Democrats’ convention – in order to reduce Obama’s post-convention ‘bounce’. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is now the front-runner to fill-out the Republican ticket.
