Drudge was right. Here’s the Boston Globe article:

John F. Kerry spent yesterday in isolation at his wife’s 90-acre suburban farm, working on his convention acceptance speech amid signs that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee may announce his choice of a running mate here as early as next Tuesday. …

”We’re hearing it’s going to be Tuesday,” said [an] adviser [to one of the possible vice presidential choices], who spoke on the condition that neither he nor his boss be identified.

Speculation has focused on three candidates — Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, US Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, and Senator John Edwards of North Carolina — but Kerry has limited all concrete information about his search to a tight circle that includes his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, and James A. Johnson, the Washington banker heading his search committee. In recent days, Vilsack has been the focus of a media boomlet, but Kerry aides say other candidates including US Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware and former senator Sam Nunn of Georgia remain possible choices. …

Among the potential running mates, Edwards was on vacation with his family, Gephardt was in Washington, and Vilsack was in Des Moines. Other possible candidates include Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, who was in his home state, former Army general Wesley K. Clark of Arkansas, who was in St. Louis for a fund-raiser, and Senator Bob Graham of Florida, who was traveling outside the country.

No mention of Hillary in the Globe story.

I’m still predicting Gephardt and rooting for Edwards.

One day… five thousand, one hundred twenty-seven hits. Not bad. :) More here.
