I am enjoying the media (including bloggers) being strung out over Obama's VP pick.

They all act as if the KNOW - with their "inside information" "sources close to the campaign", etc. In reality, they don't know anything.

I can't wait until Obama announces. I hope he throws them all a curveball (a good one) that renders them speechless.

:evilgrin:

1. You forgot to put Hillary's name somewhere in the post. The PUMAs and HRC cult followers are out.

16. We ARE friends.

Did you read the posts? Don't quite understand your reaction; has nothing to do with McCain.

kept it such a treasured secret from all the chatteringheads.

11. You're right that although the secrecy has made DUers a wreck that it's also made the MSM panic.

That's always an amusing sight to behold and would counteract the annoyance I feel at the sigh of the infighting I see if only the primaries didn't already have a lot of infighting to begin with. So I'm starting to lose patience.

9. I hope you're right

I'd love for the V.P. pick to be a huge surprise to EVERYONE, rather than Obama caving in and choosing Kaine or Clinton or Nunn.

12. CNN admitted they were trying to beat the text message announcement

Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 07:45 PM by WIllo

Their desperation is funny to watch.

He said "good morning" in the same tone as Obama, is that a hint they are syncronizing their messages?

He said "no" but only three times. The fourth time he just drove away. Clearly the signs are clear.

13. I wish he would just announce already.

It's not just the news media that are tired of the waiting.
