Gov. Joe Manchin told WSAZ-TV that he believes Gov. Tim Kaine of neighboring Virginia will be the running mate of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Manchin, who had spoken to Kaine earlier Wednesday, "indicated that Kaine said he did not know what was going to happen over the next few days," the item said, adding that "Kaine has been mentioned in the media as one of three potential finalists, along with Senators Joe Biden and Evan Bayh."
"Manchin believes Kaine could help Obama win West Virginia, because of the geographic proximity and other similarities between Kaine's state of Virginia and West Virginia," the report said.
The station also has raw video from the interview.
