One of the contenders has to get on an airplane soon

[carlotta]

And there are camera crews set up at the airports where Biden, Kaine and Bayh live. So doesn't that ruin the surprise. Unless, of course, it's Hillary who is at the State Fair in Albany and needs to get on a plane to "get home". She's the only one who can get by without the media picking up on it.

Food for thought.

1. NYS Fairgrounds are in Syracuse. nt

[carlotta]

5. Oh yes, sorry.

I messed up.

[ErinBerin84]

8. lol, ok, that's what I thought.

I'm near Albany, and hadn't heard that it was anywhere close.

[Muttocracy]

11. if it was Albany, it would be silly for her to fly too - probably faster to driver from Syr even. nt

[ErinBerin84]

2. the ny state fair is in Albany?

[liberal N proud]

3. Unless they were only diversionary contenders

In that case the choice may already be in Illinois

[Lucinda]

4. Why soon? The speech in Springfiled isnt until tomorrow

[gateley]

12. Reports of the Veep climbing onto a plane would be the breaking news --

the text would probably be anticlimactic.

[Lucinda]

15. Yep.But noone needs to fly tonight to IL, so I'm confused about the airplane watch.

[gateley]

18. That's a good point. It's not as though it is a long journey for any of them. nt

[Lucinda]

19. Thats what confused me, especially with a mid-day appearance tomorrow.

Unless people are hoping for a plane logo scoop again? or something like that.

[gateley]

21. I read somewhere that they specifically mentioned they would not be

making a mistake like that. ("They" being Obama's camp.)

[Lucinda]

24. I think they have it nailed down. I dont expect a leak. I've thought all day that

they would wait until all the potentials were back home after campaigning for O. Bidens home, Hillary and Sebelius were out on the stump today. Not sure about some of the others. I just thought it was likely they'd wait until the reporters wouldn't catch anyone still out in public and bombard the Veep.

[gateley]

27. I was just wondering if they really know for sure themselves --

Should we do it now? Now? Then come up with all the arguments for and against, much as we've been doing here. Meanwhile the clock keeps ticking...

The only thing is, the longer they wait, the more likely the chance of a leak, but it's been AMAZING how they've kept the lid on it thus far!

[MadrasT]

6. Unless it's not Biden, Kaine, Bayh, or Hillary...

:woohoo:

[gateley]

7. Yeah - he would have to announce it via text before the VP got on an airplane -

Good point.

[democrat2thecore]

9. Or somebody elee who isn't being stalked -nt

[jobycom]

10. Unless it's Homer Simpson. He's already in Springfield.

Yeah, I'll keep trotting it out until someone laughs. :(

[ronnykmarshall]

13. buhhawhahahhaha!!

:rofl:

Oh STOP!!!

[Orangepeel]

14. I laughed!

well, I snorted the diet coke I was trying to drink!

[CoffeeCat]

16. Good one!

Very witty.

A year's supply of Turtle Wax for YOU!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

17. No camera crew in Port Orford Oregon, oh wait, we don't have an

airport.

[WheelWalker]

20. Planes can't land in Port Orford because of the wind. The only place in the world

where the wind blows four directions at once, all the time.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

22. But today it's calm, only about 35 mph.

[sandnsea]

25. Hi From Florence!

Aren't we just having a gorgeous day today!!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

26. Tis a gorgeous by half. Very clear and bright.

[Avalux]

23. WHAT IF HE/SHE IS ALREADY THERE????

I still don't get why the media thinks it's one of those three. No one has leaked anything.

[tokenlib]

28. Obama has them stashed in an undisclosed location--it's practice n/t
