CNN is saying "any minute."

[VolcanoJen]

Now, maybe they're talking out of their butts and just want everyone to stay tuned in, but the AP also reported a half-hour ago that the announcement was "imminent" and "hours away at most."

Any minute? I keep refreshing my email and cranked my text alert ringtone up to 11!

:bounce:

1. My intertubes connection just double-clutched

I thought that was it! ...I was wrong. :(

[AlinPA]

29. LOL.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

2. IT'S TRUMAN

[Robb]

6. NO, DEWEY!

;)

[ronnykmarshall]

30. RABBIT SEASON!!

[leftynyc]

35. DUCK SEASON

Your post is the first one all day that had me laughing out loud. Still love Bugs and Daffy.

[Born_A_Truman]

18. And I will accept!!

:woohoo:

[annabanana]

3. They've been saying "any minute" all morning...

They have no better idea than YOU do....

[VolcanoJen]

12. Well of course not!

Obama's leading all of us around on a leash. :-) For all we know, they'll announce at the convention on Wednesday night!!!

[medicswife]

4. omg I'm going to hyperventilate!!!!

Could it be? Could it really and truly be?

I don't know if I can stand any more good news today. I might have a coronary!!!

[vaberella]

5. CNN has been saying that all morning. I tuned at 7am to hear them say "any min". n/t

[HowHasItComeToThis]

7. JUST WATCH ONE MORE COMERCIAL, FOLKS

[Muttocracy]

10. :)

[snooper2]

38. could be any minute hours or days from now..

Just suspenseful isn't it :rofl:

[yardwork]

8. They're lying. I'm going to lunch.

[flamingdem]

9. Are they mentioning McMansiongate much today?

I am not near a television.

[vaberella]

22. Not at all. McCain is not mentioned. Only more spec on O's Veep. n/t

[ccharles000]

11. I can't take it anymore.

[City Lights]

13. Why would anyone need to stay tuned to CNN to get the news?

Anyone sitting on the edge of their seat to hear his veep pick will have signed up the text or email directly from Obama.

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

15. I'm pretty sure every single human at CNN signed up for the text and email, too

And sending out millions of texts and emails doesn't happen instantaneously... it kind of rolls.

There's a chance someone at CNN would get the info moments before we do. Of course, Wonkette gave everyone instructions on how to "punk" your friends with text messages that seem to come from Obama. ;-)

Hmmm. Anyone have Rick Sanchez' cellie number?

[City Lights]

26. True, but I'm betting that someone here gets the news directly before CNN

announces it. :-)

[VolcanoJen]

33. I remember the Kerry-Edwards announcement breaking on DU...

... because someone knew someone who knew someone who was actually in the hangar painting the campaign plane!!!

So you just never know. ;-)

Oooooh CNN just said "ANY MINUTE" again! I think they are going to wet themselves over there in Atlanta.

[nsd]

14. Imminent AND hours away? Those two are not compatible. n/t

[hedgehog]

16. Sooner or later they'll be right! It IS getting closer by the minute!

This is like being 1 day overdue!

[VolcanoJen]

23. Time to induce!!!!!!

:rofl: ;-)

[MoJoWorkin]

17. I am watching USA play B Ball at Olympics, maybe Obama is, too.

Heaven knows the last time he got to do something like that. Maybe he is waiting for the game to be over?

Just a thought.

[MannyGoldstein]

19. I Suspect It'll Be Tomorrow

Howmanyhousesgate needs to play out for a bit longer. Why stop the fun?

[thewiseguy]

21. I am tired of waiting. I suspect many others are as well.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

20. Literally.

[TwilightGardener]

24. Aren't we supposed to not have sig lines and avatars? Are DU's servers

up to the task?

[Arugula Latte]

25. Could it be Jesus?...He'll do a Second Coming/VP Thang all at once

Double the publicity! :bounce:

[jenmito]

27. They've been saying that since early morning. They have no more idea than we do. n/t

[Iggo]

28. Set cell phones to "zOMG"

:crazy:

[chitty]

31. I just peed myself.

[brooklynite]

32. Yes, it COULD be "any minute"

It could be 1:15, or 2:43 or 3:36 or 4:18 or...

[Labors of Hercules]

34. They've got crews staked out all over the place.

This is nuts! I LOVE IT!!!

[IEatRepublicans]

36. Announce on a Friday? The worst possible day of the week?

lol... ill believe it when I see it... wouldn't be surprised to see him name it Monday...

[VolcanoJen]

37. UPDATE: It's been 55 minutes since CNN said "any minute."

They've actually almost dropped the Obama VP Drama story here in the 2:00 news hour. It's as though they had an indication it was imminent, and then someone more credible told them it wasn't at all imminent.

File this under Dept. Of Unfortunate VP Drama Side Effects: The McOpoly Story has disappeared.

[Lucinda]

41. Well they did say "ANY"

we just assumend that meant any of the ones coming soon LOL

[YvonneCa]

46. They were saying 'any minute' this morning...

...at 6:30 Pacific. I think it's pretty funny! :7

[Virginia Dare]

39. They told us yesterday morning we'd know in 24 hours..

they're full of shit as usual. Keep playing them Barack, even if it kills us in the meantime.

[yasmina27]

40. They were saying it yesterday late afternoon too.

[Demi_Babe]

42. OFTLOG the anticpation is killing me

[ronnykmarshall]

43. Are they still saying it?

That was HOURS ago!!

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

44. The CNN peeps cannot hide their annoyance! It's hysterical!

I know how they feel!!!

Ha... the reporter in Chicago just said, "Who knows? Doesn't look like anytime soon, and Robert Gibbs said early today they might just wait until Wednesday."

:rofl:

[YvonneCa]

47. Maybe...

... they are finally realizing that they *may* not be in charge of this one. ;)

[ronnykmarshall]

49. Love IT!!

All those fools camped out in front of those three houses!!! Major egg on face!

Good job Barack!!

[AZBlue]

45. I think it's your first thought.

"talking out of their butts and just want everyone to stay tuned in"

[Born_A_Truman]

48. CNN even has media staking out Obama's plane...

Hahahaha! Do they think he's going to repeat the 2004 leak by having his plane give it away?

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Maybe they are gonna sneak the VP on board ....

dressed in a penguin costume?

[Major Hogwash]

51. They said that yesterday too.

LoL

[Orangepeel]

52. they have been since at least 9:00 am when I turned it on.

:boring:
