Obama to visit Ill. Capital where campaign began

[dbackjon]

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Amid growing speculation on his choice of a running mate, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama plans a return to the city where he launched his campaign

Obama's campaign said Tuesday he plans an appearance Saturday in Springfield, Ill. The Illinois Democrat kicked off his bid early last year in front of the former Capitol where Abraham Lincoln once served.

Obama likely will have made his choice of running mate by the time he returns to Springfield. There was no word Tuesday on whether his pick will appear with him. The Obama campaign remained in a near blackout for information about his decision and when exactly it will be announced.

Those believed to be on his short list also were keeping mum. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, rumored as a possible choice, professed no inside knowledge of when word would come.

He's just trying to recapture his "mojo" that he apparently misplaced between Germany and France....
