woohoo!!!!!!
Obama lets his selection be known at almost 1:00am on a Friday night???
Isn’t this about the time slot politicians use to dump news they don’t want too many people to hear about?
Yes that's him.
“check with chris matthews, his leg might be tingling.”
Yeah and there’s probably a LUMPY puddle under his chair.
You wrote;
“they have been going for hours on cnn, poised live outside biden’s house”
Yeah, I watched for a little while hours ago. What a lousy way to pick the VP candidate. This has made Obama look like a disorganized loser (i.e. it’s been revealing).
However expect the media to annoint President Obama until 10:30 PM on NOvember 4th 2008 when the results from Ohio comes and shows that Mccain won the state 53% to 47%.
“nObama and Joe - what a combo!!!”
nObama and JoeMama in ‘08!!!!
I just heard. He’s one of the worst picks. That’s good news for us. : )
Just listening to CNN/John King. Seems to fly in the face of ALL what we know about them ... they’re SO different on so many things,

Then, there’s this from Bill Kristol yesterday:
“Kristol: A Vice Presidential Clue
http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/08/kristol_a_vice_presidential_cl_1.asp
***
Here’s what Barack Obama told Time’s Karen Tumulty and David Von Drehle earlier this week,
http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1834309,00.html
when asked what we would learn about him from his vice presidential pick:
Hopefully, the same thing that my campaign has told the American people about me. That I think through big decisions. I get a lot of input from a lot of people, and that ultimately, I try to surround myself with people who are about getting the job done, and who are not about ego, self—aggrandizement, getting their names in the press, but our focus on what’s best for the American people.
I think people will see that I’m not afraid to have folks around me who complement my strengths and who are independent. I’m not a believer in a government of yes—men. I think one of the failures of the early Bush Administration was being surrounded by people who were unwilling to deliver bad news, or who were prone to simply feed the president information that confirmed his own preconceptions.
Is there a clue here as to Obama’s pick?
Perhaps not—he’ll claim these nice statements would apply to anyone he chooses. But I’m struck by two things.
The “who complement my strengths” sounds like a nod to the need for someone with foreign policy/military experience. And the “who are not about ego, self-aggrandizement, getting their names in the press” sounds like his choice may be less well-known than some of the alternatives.
Sounds like Sen. Jack Reed—who, for what it’s worth, I’ve always thought was the best choice among the senators.”

“I try to surround myself with people who are about getting the job done, and who are not about ego, self—aggrandizement, getting their names in the press, but our focus on what’s best for the American people”
How in the world does that apply to Biden ??? Seems laughable.
these two are going to work together about as effectively as a sleeping pill and a laxative
If they let him near a microphone, he’s liable to put everyone to sleep.
Dynamic he’s not!
Just think of all the people waiting all day to get their text message from Obama and the cable news shows are breaking the news first. Obama was too inept to get this out in the afternoon, scheduled the announcement for 10 a.m. tomorrow, and the stations break it tonight. How dumb was that campaign to think they could keep it quiet until tomorrow? This is way too funny. Plagiarist meets another plagiarist — perfect.
