Where's My F****** Text message?
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 01:28 AM by galactical
I get home tonight, get online to check some email and *BAM!* Yahoo has that Obama picked Biden as his VP.

Weren't we supposed to get his VP pick text messaged to us before the MSM got to it?

I know i'm being stupid, but i'm still kind of dissapointed :-(.

2. Obama knows what he's doing. It's someone else.
If it really was Biden they would have texted us as soon as word got out.

10. Probably is Biden, but it became a secret that couln't be kept.
Commotion around his house, a slip by someone, who knows?

17. Still Not Posted On The Official Barack Obama Website......
don't you think if the media scooped this story before text messages went out that at least they would post the VP pick on the official website? The Obama campaign is very good at keeping their site current.

18. That will crack me up if it turns out it isn't Biden
while simultaneously giving me even less faith than the low level I already had regarding the reliability of the MSM.

14. The Obama campaign didn't plan for the media to find out first.
They honestly wanted their supporters to be the first ones to hear.

It obviously didn't work out that way, but it's not that big of a deal. I heard MSNBC say that the text message would go out at 6:00 AM or so.

16. It may take as long as 4 hours to send them all out
Thats why they are doing this at night. So most people will wake to the news on their phone.

19. My phone beeped a few minutes ago
and I thought the Obama campaign might have decided to go on and send out the message. But it was just my (right-leaning but leaning towards Obama voting this year) friend sending the message: "I'm sure you already got the text msg. It's JOE BIDEN." haha I'd still like to see some confirmation from the Obama camp...
