If Obama doesn't announce VP tonight, I wish he's just wait till the convention.

I mean, really.

An announcement on the weekend is pathetic.

I'd rather him keep it secret till he and his VP pick can walk out together during the convention.

1. That's what I wanted all along.

But I don't see what is wrong with a weekend announcement. The vast majority of people have the time to pay much more attention on the weekend. Who cares if the media "B teams" cover it? Seems like a nice FU to the MSM egomaniacs, if you ask me.

3. I think they'd bring in the "A Teams" to cover it. nt

5. If a weekend announcement works well, then fine. But I'd really rather he wait till the convention

at this point.

Imagine how exciting it would be.


He's waited so long, it would be the smart thing to do in my opinion.

2. How would he explain his "guest's" presence on the stage with him tomorrow?

And how about his vow to notify his supporters first by text?

4. Any evidence he's making an appearance with the VP tomorrow?

Besides just more speculation? None that I've seen.

7. Well you're right. I don't think there's any official announcement from the

Obama campaign that the VP will be there. It's just being reported as a given. (Unless I missed the Obama camp's statement on this.)

9. here's a link

Seriously, try google next time. It's everywhere.

"Obama, running mate to rally in Springfield "

It appears it is from an anonymous source inside the campaign.

6. To keep his promise, he should just text it 30 minutes before the announcement when Bill is speaking

LOL

I love Bill, but you have to admit that would be funny.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

8. I'm joking... I know I'm gonna get in trouble for saying it would be funny to interrupt Bill's

speech.

10. Pathetic is right, just like his whole campaign NOT

this text messaging thing has everyone, including the MSM watching

and guess what, because of this approach A HECK OF A LOT OF PEOPLE will be watching tomorrow when they meet together

This weekend will NOT be ignored

It was a brillant marketing manuever

[jesus_of_suburbia]

11. fine. maybe it's smart for the rest of the country and just pisses his core base off.

We'll forgive him anyway. :-)
