It's Kaine

The signs are waaaay too obvious:

"Kaine spent 20 minutes huddled in a backroom, where he said he was 'filming a little thing' for the Obama campaign," Tim Craig reports for The Washington Post. "The cameraman later followed Kaine to Henrico County, where he held a town-hall meeting for Obama. But campaign officials stress the 'filming' of Kaine has nothing to do with Obama's choice of a running mate."

You don't need a secret decoder ring to read this one, kids: When they send a camera crew to get footage for the candidate's convention biopic, it's a done deal.

Virginia is the new Ohio.

UPDATE: The big clue, of course, was when Kaine and Obama scheduled an invitation-only town hall event for Wednesday in Martinsville. Booman saw that as very suspicious.

"Invitation only" = "We want a hand-picked audience for the cameras."

I've already got calls in to Virginia sources.
