The Klintoons were well-known for using dis-information to confuse everyone; perhaps Barry learned something from them.
Bayh is a wuss - combining two wusses on one ticket isn’t a good idea. Heck, Bayh could probably beat the golden boy in one on one basketball.
Are you sure this is an ACTUAL CNN screenshot? There are a lot of typos, even for CNN! :-)
Aw, he’s just picking Bayh to try and nail the White vote.
Ping
Maybe he wants to add some gravitas to the ticket?
This is the kind of thing that isn’t supposed to happen - but, it appears that Obama’s VP will be Ind Senator Evan Bayh. This is coming from a premature release of the email which the Obama campaign intended to send out to supporters the morning of the announcement.
CNN reported the leak at this url:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/18/bayh.vp
..but that article has since been pulled from the site. However, THIS SCREENSHOT confirms that the article did, in fact, go up a little after 8 PM.
Still waiting for this to be picked up by FOX, I’ll report developments as they happen.
UPDATE: Aron Goldman from www.race42008.compointed out that the CNN article contains a couple of typos, suggesting this may be a fake. That is, of course, possible (I didn’t take the screenshot myself, so I can’t confirm the authenticity of it - though I don’t see Bayh as being the person to inspire a rumor mill - but mistakes aren’t uncommon online, Fox continues to report Obama’s speech at the 1904DNC convention.
UPDATE 2: This is via the same source from the original image - but some clippings from the second e-mail:
…a technical glitch occurred while updating the e-mail that will be sent to supporters upon the announcement of Sen. Obama’s VP….releasing the name of Indiana Senator Evan Bayh as his Running mate…at this point, the campaign is unwilling to confirm or deny this selection….asks that all supporters disregard the orginial email as a mistake until any official confirmation is made…
O-bye!
I believe that Evan is the son of Birch Bayh, one of the most rabid anti-Second Amendment Senators of all time. Great choice Barry!
So does this ticket make the DemocRATik Party the 75% “white” party? Where’s Howie! We need some clarification here! AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Watching CNN the other night while they were reviewing the Saddlebrook non-debate, and across the Teleprompter at the bottom came this “Obama campaign says they will reveal the VP choice via email and text messages. Look for an email with subject line (yada yada). No other campaign has ever done this before. Obama is running the most high tech campaign ever.” I nearly hurled. Oh, yeah, nobody ever thought about email before. He’s the first! Ain’t he the most brilliant ever? ooOOOoooo. So high tech. And CNN? No way are they biased to print that crap. /s
Bayh Obama!
Evan Bayh was separated at birth from his twin/clone, Al Gore. Went on to marry a freckly blonde cheerleader type woman who could be Tipper’s sister. Boring, monotone voice (let’s hear you say “risky scheme” like Al, Evan) and a liberal wolf in centrist sheep clothing.
This seems like a real head fake.
If this is true the muslim Hussein is dead in the water anyway. the SHRILLARY! supporters won't take this lying down and will crucify him.
