I'm I wrong to hope that McCain picks Lieberman because it'll royally piss off some of the republican base?

I think the MSM is creaming themselves to see that happen, because they KNOW it will be a nail in the coffin for McCain. And surely McCain knows that as well.

On a side note:

With all the fun the Obama campaign is having over this "houses" thing, that pretty much means he wont announce his VP today. They want this thing to get prime time coverage and a VP announcement would kill it.

And I still find it hard to believe you'd do that kind of announcement on a Friday.

 

And when are the closing ceremonies?

Me too, I'm VERY surprised that it hasn't come out until now. I can't remember a candidate waiting until the convention itself to pick the candidate, and RSO just might have to, which cuts into the airtime of others, including his wife. It makes me wonder if there's not gigtantic skeletons in everyone's closet and they're putting out trial balloons everywhere to see what gets picked up and what doesn't.

Bush 41 picked his VP on the second day of the GOP convention in 1988. That's the most recent instance.

Huntington, IN was a pretty happening place, I remember it.

What is RSO?

Update from CNN on the Obama Veepstakes. Basically, he's called some folks on the short list, saying they aren't the choice. Also, of note, they say that he will announce (or introduce) the VP at a rally in Springfield on Saturday.

AP says Obama’s choice is imminent – “hours away.”

 

and

 

Mark Halperin has two Republican sources who say Sen. John McCain will pick Mitt Romney as his running mate. and Marc Ambinder reports there are "hints" of a major McCain rally being planned in Michigan "on or about 8/31."

I predict that Obama will name is VP "moments" before the top of an hour. It maximizes the top of the hour news carried on most radio stations.

The AP interestingly is throwing the name of Texas Representative Chet Edwards in to the mix.

Pelosi has been pushing him hard for months. I've heard this several times before. He reps the area just south of where I live, IIRC.

 

Ha, well anyone that made Obama-Edwards signs can have some hope again.

already ramping up my CafePress store.

Have yet to sell anything... ever. But oh well. lol

I JUST GOT MY TEXT~!!!!!! ;)

 

Juuuuust skiddin'. :)

 

It'll be in the next hour. He wants to hit up all those commuters as they drive home for "BREAKING NEWS!!!"

 

:lol:

 

This gives me an idea. I think I might go wreck my car and say the RSO text made me do it.

 

Oh wait, I just confessed. Damn. Now I can't do it.

UPDATE: It's been an hour and no announcement. i would assume if it is true that Obama's VP will be in Springfield tomorrow, he HAS to announce today. The plane ride late tonight or early tomorrow will tip off reporters.

I love the CNN stake out of all the "short-list" houses as if they expect the person to come running out onto the lawn naked with a giant Obama logo painted on their chest.

 

Seriously.

He/She is probably already there. :lol:

 

It's Michele. :lolhitting

 

I really think it'd be neat to see him go with a guy like Schweitzer.

I just about flipped. I NEVER.... EVER get text messages. I hate them. I ask people not to text me. About 2 minutes ago, my phone's text message ringer went off. It's near the top of the hour. Good "drive time" announcement. I thought "here we go!"..... it was one of my co-workers asking if I would fix something on her phone on Monday.

 

DOH!

The media is literally creaming themselves over this. It's hysterical, actually.

 

 

I s*** you not, it's like Obama's hiring a college football coach. They were tracking private flights in and out of Ames when we hired Chizik.
