(CNN) – Eager VP-watchers waiting for the text message announcement of Barack Obama’s choice of running mate have gotten their answer: It’s Hillary Clinton. And Tim Kaine. And Kathleen Sebelius.
Since declaring the Democratic vice presidential pick would first be announced over e-mail and text message, several hoax announcements of the Illinois senator's choice have circulated, purporting to be from the Obama campaign.
The latest came in e-mail Friday morning that hit the inboxes of many White House reporters, carrying the subject, "My Vice President."

It looks like Dan Rather is back to work...
This text thing is just stupid. Just announce already.
I’m sure the press doesn’t like being made to look stupid by all the pranks.
“VP iz Jimmy Carter LOL!”
Whatever they do, don’t send their account numbers to recover millions from Nigeria.
Contrary to what he’s saying, Obama still doesn’t know who he’s going to pick.
Tough to make an announcement...
They're so used to being stupid that being made to look stupid doesn't even faze them any more.
Helen Thomas was suprised to read that she got the pick.
Hahahahahahahaha! Idiots.
He he. And she’s begun drafting her acceptance speech!
I went back online to this site and noticed the poll on the right. It makes it sound like he picked! Went to drudge, nada.

Says Do you like obama’s pick for vp?
Republicans will win now
This will go down as the boldest move in history
I never expected him to pick a lesbian
etc.....
Scarlett Johansen’s faith in The One, The Obamessiah, must really be shaken now. First she learns that the texts she got were from another Obama campaign staffer and not really Obama himself.
And now this.
Who can you trust anymore?
Everybody is going to be worn out waiting. Maybe he will wait until tomorrow when everyone busy and not paying attention.
It is a brilliant move for collecting data and information on prospective voters.
But- like everything else with Barry- it’s a lot of hype, He’s got cable tv and blogs all over the place just panting for “The Text”.
Imagine how powerful Obama and Company are feeling about now. And with good reason- the entire world is watching and waiting.
Scary.
Maybe the seasoned politicians don’t want to ruin their long career running as HIS VP! Someone here posted it like this
Hello it’s bara....hang up

OMG, Helen Thomas!!! R U SRiuS??? She’s like my BFF!!!

Some people are just meant to be ignorant for the rest of their lives. Although I WILL say I’m glad Obama is giving the press the runaround.
Actually, I saw something about this over on the Wonkette (I followed a link there), that someone had found a way to send these fake messages. Hilarious.
This is getting childish. Obama just loves the attention. I can’t believe what an attention craver this guy is. It goes beyond politics. It is all about him!
