26. It was a fellow who was getting the crowd riled up before

Obama's Town Hall in VA which is just getting underway. The guy said, "Turn your cell phones ON!" now paraphrasing, 'usually, they say, turn them off. I say, turn them on so that in the morning, you can find out who Obama's VP pick will be! I don't know who or when it will be, but turn them on! I don't know when you'll find out.' Or something to that effect.

[nsd]

Yes, it doesn't sound definitive at all.

shit as they go along.

[vaberella]

25. Too true. I used to love MSNBC and tolerate CNN, I only trust KO and hate all things CNN. n/t

[Cha]

31. cnn is totally propaganda central

but they have a little oasis of Jack Cafferty.

"Commentary: Is McCain another George W. Bush?Story Highlights
Jack Cafferty: McCain gives shallow answers at Saddleback forum"

<snip>

"Sen. John McCain takes weekends off and limits his campaign events to one a day. He made an exception for the religious forum on Saturday at Saddleback Church in Southern California.

I think he made a big mistake. When he was invited last spring to attend a discussion of the role of faith in his life with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, McCain didn't bother to show up. Now I know why.

It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. "It means I'm saved and forgiven." Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries. McCain then retold a story we've all heard a hundred times about a guard in Vietnam drawing a cross in the sand.

Asked about his greatest moral failure, he cited his first marriage, which ended in divorce. While saying it was his greatest moral failing, he offered nothing in the way of explanation. Why not?"

11. fantastic.

[ErinBerin84]

14. damn it.

I have a job interview tomorrow morning that will take a long time, and now I'm going to be wondering about the VP choice.

[madmax]

27. Relax...

You dang kids have NO patience! :spank:

;)

[IndyOp]

15. I thought he said, "Tomorrow morning... or some other time, I don't know!"

He said it right after he said, "Who is going to the be next President of the United States? I don't know. Text "VP" to 62262 to be among the first to find out!" He screwed up and said "President of the United States" instead of "Vice President of the United States"...

He scored points for enthusiasm, if not speaking ability.

:hi:

[Tesibria]

23. Tease ... (and inaccurate at that ... but good tease)

Actually, I was watching too. He SAID "in the morning" -- NOT tomorrow morning -- then immediately qualified it with a "I don't know when the announcement is coming."

It'd be great if it were tomorrow, but that was NOT the announcement.

[gblady]

29. yeah...

that's what I heard...he did not know when the announcement was going to be...
just telling folks how to get the text message.
