VEEP RUMOUR MILL

There's frenzied speculation among my sources in the American TV networks that John Kerry is about to announce his running mate.

The sources say Senator could (repeat could) make his announcement in Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning.

When the announcement is finally made, I expect it to be made known that more candidates were vetted than had been previously thought.

The noises I'm getting are talking increasingly of Senator John Edwards -- but we could all be proved completely wrong.
