A rumor is spreading that WHOIS data suggests Barack Obama, expected to announce his choice of running mate within 24 hours, may have selected Kathleen Sebelius.
Who is for www.barackobama.com:
Domain Name: BARACKOBAMA.COM
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Name Server: NS05.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

The only other vp candidate with a perfect match is OBAMABIDEN.COM. ObamaSebelius.com is registered through DomainsbyProxy, a service that provides private domain registration, so that a WhoIs search will not reveal the domain owner's personal information.
Biden's buzz, too, is building as the announcement draws closer, but some sources have also suggested Obama will surprise the nation with a left-field pick like Al Gore or Hillary Clinton.
Update: Political Wire has two conflicting rumors relating to the ObamaSebelius domain. An ad agency says Obama's campaign owns the domain; a Political Wire reader says he owns it and has no affiliation with the campaign.
