Obama's VP

[wardfamily1]

Anyone else sensing that a major technical fubar is about to go down???

If it's Biden, definitely yes.

Is it supposed to be announced today for sure? Don't political people usually announce things late on a Friday when they are trying to bury something in the news?

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

I thought it was suppose to be announced on Saturday.

The media certainly thought it was going to be today, and raised everyone's expectations that it would be. I'm reading some reports that campaign officials have now said it won't be until tomorrow morning.

"So you think you can dance" contest between the Obama's and the McCain....

I always get a giggle from him dancing, but I think most people who just impromptu start dancing look ridiculous (I'm an ex ballet dancer, so I'm a choreography snob). Ellen OTOH, actually, looked pretty good, but she does get to practice for two minutes 5 times a week.

Oh Oh... no text 'till 10 AM tommorrow! Sorry!

Lame

Kaine is out.

Private plane goes from Chicago to Rhode Island .... looks like Biden -- maybe.

I think its Bayh, he is liked in the midwest, and by picking a east cost person (Biden) just elevates himself as being a snob an out of touch with flyover country. But there is no perfect person for either candidate

I think the announcement is brilliant. Yea, it's late on a Friday so the prime news spot is gone however all day long this is all that's been on lots of minds. Even conservative minds. And all day on CNN "Obama VP pick soon" plastered all day on the screen. Other news networks as well. It's like you know when Christmas day is and that's what makes Christmas Eve so exciting.

Sometimes however when you wake up and that Red Ryder carbine-action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle BB gun with a compass in the stock and a thing which tells time isn't under the tree, you get kinda disappointed and wonder why you were so excited. I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna feel that way if and when Joe Biden's name is announced.

Andrea Mitchell just reported that they were fake bumper stickers.

Andrea Mitchell is someone I would really believe....

 

[duckfan78]

I heard they were supposed to announce the VP through text message today(Friday). What are they going to do, text everyone 2 minutes before this campaign outting in IL?

Talk about lame.

Lame or not, it's a brilliant way to collect cell phone numbers so they can later call to solicit for donations.

The reports I read said he was supposed to MAKE his decision today, they didn't say he would ANNOUNCE his decision today.

Who in the heck are they text messaging? Do you have to subscribe to something or is everyone with text capabilities getting a text?

I think you sign up on Obama's website.

He has a scheduled appearance tomorrow with his VP. I think the campaign has hinted he will announce today.

Yea, that isn't going to Ps people off.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” - Joe Biden

""I've had a great relationship [with East Indians in America]. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans - moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." -- Joe Biden, speaking to Indian-Americans.

"“I don’t think John Edwards knows what the heck he is talking about," [when he calls for immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq.] "John Edwards wants you and all the Democrats to think, ‘I want us out of there,’ but when you come back and you say, ‘O.K., John, what about the chaos that will ensue? Do we have any interest, John, left in the region?’ Well, John will have to answer yes or no. If he says yes, what are they? What are those interests, John? How do you protect those interests, John, if you are completely withdrawn? Are you withdrawn from the region, John? Are you withdrawn from Iraq, John? In what period? So all this stuff is like so much Fluffernutter out there." - Joe Biden

Why wouldn't you believe her?? She is a reporter that has been traveling with the Obama campaign so I think she has some insight to what's going on. She also said that both Byah and Caine have been told they aren't the picks.

Do you have a link to any story that said she's lied?? Some scandal she was involved in? Or do you just not like her? Which is okay but hardly makes her a liar.

I never said she was a liar. However, she was the one who said that McCain cheated at the political forum last weekend.
