Yup.

 

I would pay good money to see McCain attempt to do the Robot. He's got the perfect arm actions for it.

How is this for message discipline, btw? Not a single bloody leak so far. Last time the night before it was announced someone caught the words "Edwards" being added to Kerry's campaign jet.

Also, some one mentioned yesterday that the VP might not yet know who he/she is. They said that most leaks tend to come from the "other guy.' So, it might be that the person gets the call at 5:03 and the txt is sent at 5:04.

I guess we have to weight until the rally tomorrow or maybe even the convention.

 

OR: Breaking News during the Olympics? hmmmm ;)

When all is said and done, Obama will walk out on the stage with his new VP choice, some strange white guy with red hair. He will look at the audience, and as the red-haired man raises his head, he begins to sing as Barack yells out 'You've been Rickrolled, beyoches!" Hillary has a heart attack, the MSM is silent for once, and Markos Kosawhatever from DailyKos is never heard from again.

Bumper Sticker Could Indicate Bayh Is Obama's Veep

After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.

 

KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.

 

Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. The company president would not comment when asked by Mahoney about the reports. But at least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.

The sticker doenst look very "Obama-ish" Although, it does use a similar font. See my signature below. Compare Obama to Obama.

That would be bad for Obama, good for John. How much vote did he get in Iowa this year, .5%?

no one is even 75% sure. There is no way to be 99% sure.

Biden did horrible in Iowa. 5th place, though he did edge out "uncommitted".

Oh please, Biden... that guy is an idiot.

 

Plus he doesn't have the ss2k credentials we all really are looking for.

Actually I think he's quite smart and experienced, but he's a "loose canon" and that makes him look like an idiot the most.

Can they really confirm that?

Late Friday, several officials said the text message announcement would be distributed Saturday morning, a few hours before a scheduled rally at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill., where the Democratic ticket would appear for the first time.

How, exactly, do they plan on shuttling in the VP without the press noticing? Maybe they expect the press to ntice overnight when most are sleeping.
