I'll bet Obama wants everyone to learn about it at approximately the same time, so what they'll do

[hisownpetard]

is start texting people in the middle of the night - say, at 3 a.m. - so that by the time most people wake up, they'll find
the text message on their phone.

Damn, I'm exhausted from being on pins and needles all day! I'll probably oversleep tomorrow and be the last to know!

What do you do?"

2. My phone going off in the middle of the night wakes me up...and then I would be on here all night

posting so I hope not. :)

3. CNN just 'helpfully' pointed out: Why pick Saturday, when no one's

paying attention? :spray:

5. CNN: Define "no one."

6. Because we will be.....

Olympics are over, and the Convention starts on Monday.

I think it's perfect........that way the RW Corporate media will only have Sunday to dog out the new Veep!

7. Yeah, Obama's people at the convention site said they have an elaborate txting system and

it will take 3hrs or more to get it out to everyone across the country so they probably will start texting to those on the east coast, then go on across to the west coast last early in the morning.

8. 2008 Political Blunder...

This day in 2008: The first serious African American candidate pissed off a nation when he text messaged everyone at 3AM. There was a huge outcry from tired voters. Several deaths were reported from heart attacks. One lady broke her hip trying to get to her phone in the dark. Eventually, Mr. Obama served 2 years in jail for violating the CAN-SPAM act. President McCain eventually pardoned him.
