As I sit here anxiously awaiting Barack Obama 's VP announcement , I feel less speculatory than usual . CNN is posting on the hour " We still do n't know who Barack 's pick is ! " -- and everyone 's trying to prematurely claim to know who he 's chosen or when he 's announcing .
According to the above context, choose the best option to answer the following question.
Question: What has lead the speaker to be so interested and invested in Barack Obama 's VP pick ?
Options:
- They are hopeful about the future of Obama 's administration , and want this final detail ironed out
 - They work as a campaign analyst , and want to know if they advised their clients properly
 - They are one of the candidates for VP and want to know if they 've recieved the position
 - None of the above choices .
