By Kleinheider Posted on August 23, 2008 at 12:21 amIt’s looking like the first African-American nominee has picked a man who once bragged on being from a slave state:
The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.
