McCain Web site: The Kyl-Lieberman Amendment Designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps A Terrorist Organization – But Senator Obama Opposed It.

McCain implies that Obama doesn't think Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a terrorist organization. That's wrong. Before the Kyl-Lieberman amendment was introduced, Obama cosponsored a bill that called for the IRGC to be designated as "a Foreign Terrorist Operation." Obama was one of 72 cosponsors of the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act, which states (in part):

Iran Counter-Proliferation Act: The Secretary of State should designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a Foreign Terrorist Organization ... and the Secretary of the Treasury should place the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists under Executive Order 13224.

The McCain campaign notes that the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act has yet to come to the floor for a vote. But that doesn't change the fact that Obama's sponsorship put him on record in favor of labeling the IRGC a terrorist organization, contrary to McCain's insinuation.

Let's see... last week, the Obama campaign said it would make the VP announcement THIS week, maybe by Weds., and for supporters to sign up, so that they would learn first, by text message. Then Weds. came and went, and the silly media covered it non-stop, "who will it be? blah blah" Thursday and Friday "it'll be anytime, soon..." And finally, on Friday night, "sources" leak it to the press that it is Biden, and the supporters who signed up will get their text message on Saturday a.m.? Doesn't the media ever get tired of this ridiculous manipulation for air-time over nothing? Will Obama supporters get tired of another broken promise? What will it take for the Kool-aid to wear off, and the people wake up? Tune in, tomorrow, for "As Obama's World Turns" My stomach turns. When will the press force the candidates to get back to serious policy issues instead of silly campaign stunts? I'm a lifelong Democrat, but this year, I'm voting for Nader.

Why Vote Against It?

McCain suggested that he was merely voting against wasteful spending. He told the Louisiana reporter that he voted against "one of the bills" because it was riddled with pork.

McCain: I also voted against one of the bills that came down that was loaded with pork barrel projects that had nothing to do with New Orleans too. It had billions for projects and programs that had nothing to do with the recovery of the city of New Orleans.

The Clinton amendments, however, would have provided $3 million for the investigation but no funds for anything else.

"Tired negative attacks"

McCain's gaffe put his campaign on the defensive. A spokesman issued a statement accusing Sen. Barack Obama of "launching ... tired negative attacks."

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers: It doesn't bode well for Senator Obama's pledges to run a campaign of hope and change when on the first day of the general election he's launching the same tired negative attacks that the American people are so sick and tired of.

That referred to an e-mail that the Obama campaign sent to reporters. It said: "Whether he simply wasn't aware of his voting record again or he was intentionally misleading the people of Louisiana, John McCain certainly isn't offering us 'leadership you can believe in.' " Other than that, the e-mail simply quoted McCain and gave the dates and Senate numbers of the votes.

Just another sign that Obama knows his base and blatantly shows his disregard for the group he reputedly needs. The group he is going after will not be as easily impressed by the "Obama" text message as the group that is so glad their "friend" texted them. At this point in this game of politics there is no one who could impress me and it's like watching a movie where you get to the point you just wish it was over and you can no longer empathize with the character.

what a joke

We'll wake up in the morning and find out. I could have signed up for the text message, but it didn't seem that urgent to me.

Biden for VP. Looking forward to he announcement!

LET GET READY FOR THE " PUT

I do not like these games at all. I do not want my president to play games like this with us. It gives a lot of insecurity. We do need security, safety, honesty, not hidings, not games like this.

it is immature to bite off your nose to spite your face
if you are a democrat you will vote democrat, especially after 8 years of what our country have been through! please think about what you sre doing, especially if you have children..

Why BO! You just thru us all under the bus. Not smart at all.

It's Oprah!!!!

to gp: learn how to spell correctly, please

Dee, you seem very angry, and kind of scary, turn your cap locks off!

To Me and No Bama

Me: You'd rather vote for four more years of Republicans destroying our country? Please, if you don't care what happens to our country then do the rest of us a favor...just don't vote.

No Bama: Is Hillary Clinton his mother and he has to ask her permission? He's his own man and our next President. And remove the Democrat label from yourself. A real Democrat wouldn't vote for four more years of ineptitude.

Go Obama!

I don't care much for the cat and mouse guessing game. Media and Obama camp share responsiblity for this silliness.
If Obama is going to be president – he needs to step up to the plate in order to get my vote.
And, yes my one vote does matter and count!

Obama will announce running mate via text message. McCain will send telegrams.

A "Democrat" voting for McCain (AKA a Hillary supporter) is no Democrat. Democrats stick by their person no matter who wins. I would have voted for either Hillary or Barack, no matter who won the primary and that is the way it should be.

You gotta love this, folks. And the ones hating on Obama and this text thing, you weren't going to vote for him anyways. So whatever he does or says you'll have a problem with it. Give the man his props. Don't be jealous that McCain didn't think of this.

Hatred is such a horrible illness, get well soon!

P.S. Dee (about your post) I LOVE YOU!

And let the Obama bashers begin.

To No Bama-

Why do you think Obama should have asked Clinton what she thought?

Obama is our nominee not Clinton.

Obama is a grown man and knows what he is doing.

Obama/Sebelius '08

McLame has learned how to E-mail – he had help of course – and he sent some fakes to the media. Now, if he only can remember his lines that he gets fed from "Bush the Current Idiot". It's very sad ...

I mean if he chooses Hillary, she comes with Bill, think it will be hard for
bill to sit back and let Hillary be the VP. (By the way Bill was a good president)
I think Obamba will make a great president. God bless you and your family Obamba, my prayers are with you.

He is going to pick his wife

My hope is that they have both known from the night of the secret meeting exactly what would take place. United, landslide sounds great!!! Obama /Clinton

Clinton supporters, stop being difficult. you have these so called PUMAs and all and you always want to put here in the mix of things like why did he not consider clinton. if he had considered him, you would have said WHY DID HE NOT CHOOSE HIM.please get over it because at the end of the day, your views are OBAMAs view. he wants to make your life better just like hillary wanted to do.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS ALL UP TO BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES.

you might think that you are fixing OBAMA, or HURTING HIS FEELINGS by not voting for him, but at the end if the day, IF YOU VOTE FOR MCSAME or DO NOT GO OUT TO VOTE, YOU ARE NOT DAMAGING OBAMAs LIVELIHOOD BUT YOU ARE HURTIN YOUR.

YOU ARE HURTING YOUSELF, YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND MOST OF ALL.................... " YOUR CHILDRENS' FUTURE"

OBAMA will go back to Washington and live his life and he will be comfortable as a Senator but you will suffer another 4 years of the same old, same old. you might even loose your job in the time period and the you will kick yourself and wonder why you thought you will hurt OBAMA but at the end of the day, YOU ARE SUFFERING. then 4 years later the repubs are going to come back and lie to you again and you will eat from their spoon that poisoned you. AREN'T YOU TIRE OR ALL THESE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO FOR THE PAST 8YRS. Mcain cannot even tell us the truth about how many houses he has, a simple thing as that. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH Mr Mcain, WE JUST WANT THE TRUTH. to tell you the truth, ALL OF US DREAM OF BEING RICH TOO ONE DAY. So please treat us a ADULTS and tell us the truth.

IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT AT LEAST DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDRENS' FUTURE.

Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!

Do we really care anymore? This farce has gone on long enough.

Do we really care any more?

Ana Vamadeva August 22nd, 2008 10:08 pm ET:

Shame on You Senator Obama!

Never considering Hillary for this coveted position shows that you are the candidate that is not in touch with reality.

Ana Vamadeva

Mason,OH

-----------------------------–

Yeah, he's the one out of touch with reality...

He didn't even bother to ask Clinton what she thought!!!!

This Democrat is voting for McCain.........

he must be take the house wife billary and than becoming real joke

I'm sure it won't be Clinton. And I will say to that that Obama is arrogant and untrustworthy. If he doesn't choose Clinton when half the party wanted her, then I will vote for McCain. Let the Republicans destroy this country and the world. I don't care anymore. My party is just as corrupt.

GOOD....AND I HOPE IT ISN'T HILLARY EITHER! SHE AND HER SUPPORTERS CAN FINALLY GO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHINE AND COMPLAIN. THIS WOMEN HAS A LOT OF BAGGAGE. WHY DO YOU THINK THE REPUBLICAN'S CONSTANTLY PUSH THE HILLARY ISSUE? WHY DO THE REPUBLICAN'S EVEN CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE DNC'S SIDE OF THE FENCE? THE REPUBLICAN'S ARE ON HANDS AND KNEES PRAYING OBAMA SLIPS UP AND CHOOSES THIS WOMEN. ONCE HE CALLS HER NAME AS THE VP THE QUESTIONS WILL BUMBARD THIS MAN ABOUT HER PAST DEALINGS WITH ALL KINDS OF BAD PEOPLE. THE CLINTONS MADE $109 MILLION DOLLARS IN 5 YEARS. TRUST ME....BILL ISN'T THAT GREAT OF A SPEAKER TO EARN THAT. I WOULD RATHER SEE KATHLEEN SEBILIUS AS VP IF HE IS TO CHOOSE A WOMEN. SHE HAS NO BAGGAGE AND SHE HAS BEEN UNIFIED WITH THE PARTY SINCE THE PRIMARIES STARTED. I'M TIRED OF HILLARY. IF THE REPUBLICAN'S THINK SHE IS SO GOOD...HOW COME McMEMORY-LAPSE HASN'T OFFERED HER THE VP SPOT ON HIS TICKET. THINK OF THE EXTRA ONE MILLION VOTES MCSAME COULD GET. IF HILLARY WOULD HAVE JUST ACCEPTED DEFEAT WHEN IT WAS EVIDENT THEN OBAMA PROBABLY WOULD HAVE PICKED HER AS HIS VP. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE THAT. BUT...SHE TRIED TO BE A BIG SHOT AND FLUNT HER 1 MILLION SUPPORTERS AND IT COST HER EVERYTHING. THE DNC COMMITTEE IS EVEN TIRED OF HER. HER SUPPORTERS IN CONGRESS BAILED ON HER. THEY ALL BAILED BECAUSE THEY SAW SHE WAS POSSESSED BY THE CAMERA'S AND THE MEDIA ATTENTION. SADLY SHE HAD TO LEARNED THE HARDWAY. I LIKE BILL CLINTON, EVENTHOUGH HE SAID SOME MEAN THINGS RECENTLY. HE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS COUNTRY AND HE DIDN'T ACT LIKE HILLARY WHEN HE WAS DOWN IN THE POLLS DURING HIS VERY FIRST PRIMARY. EVERYONE WANTS TO ADD WHAT BILL CLINTON DID FOR THE COUNTRY TO HILLARY'S RESUME. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. AS FOR HER AND McMEMORY-LAPSE HAVING "MORE EXPERIENCE".....THE LAST TIME I CHECKED ALL OF THE PAST PRESIDENT'S I DIDN'T COME ACROSS A JOHN McSHADY OR A HILLARY CLINTON. AND YES...EARLIER IN MY COMMENTS I SAID HILLARY HAD ONLY 1 MILLION SUPPORTERS. IF SHE HAD THE 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS SHE IS CLAIMING THEN THEY WOULD HELP HER GET OUT OF THE DEBT SHE HAS HAD THE PAST FEW MONTHS RATHER THEN BLAMING OBAMA FOR HER PRIMARY ARROGANCE. IF SHE CAN'T HANDLE HER OWN BANK FUNDS, HOW IS SHE SUPPOSE TO HANDLE THIS ECONOMY? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU...BUT I DON'T THINK HILLARY COULD ANSWER THAT 3AM CALL. SHE WOULD ASK BILL TO GET IT. THIS WOMEN WAS ALRIGHT IN MY EYES UNTIL SHE LOST THOSE 11 PRIMARIES IN A ROW. THEN SHE TOOK THE VERY LOW ROAD AND IT COSTED HER DEARLY. AS FOR McCAIN.....DOESN'T THIS MAN OWN SEVEN HOMES. ALL OF HIS HOMES ARE OVER THE COST OF $1 MILLION? AND HE CALLED OBAMA THE ELITIST.....THAT'S FUNNY!!! OBAMA ONLY HAS ONE. THE COST OF McCAIN'S SHOE'S ALONE WILL GIVE YOU A NOSE BLEED. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF McSAME DOESN'T KNOW HIS OWN NAME NEXT YEAR. HE IS JUST GEORGE BUSH'S LITTLE MINI-ME.

OBAMA IN "O8" (Because I care about my family's well-being. Do you care about yours?)

i like hillary but think bill would've really been the vp

I can't understand people that say "this is awesome". This is stupid. No matter who he will pick he will lose. And NO I'm not McCain nor Hillary supporter. This Obama is full of it!!!!

The only reason to delay this to Saturday morning is because it's not one of the names being thrown around. Big drama for a big surprise. Either its Gore and this has been planned for months or it's come all the way back around to Hillary.

By this time tomorrow we will finally know who the next vice president be!!!

"Joel August 22nd, 2008 10:07 pm ET
Can't wait. However, I'm only 17, but I'm old enough to understand that releasing this through texts is low. It's something that should be done formally. Though I admit that it is a brilliant idea to help lock in the youth vote."

Joel,
Text message thing not only is appealing to youth vote, it is a different thing (change message) and it generated more media interest but most importantly it gave a huge boost to ever increasing email lsit of Obama campaign.

TEXAS TRAIL DOG is the most ignorant person on the blogs. Every blog he/she puts out is filled with ignorance. I guess texas trail dog does not have an intelligent thought in his brain so he/she has no choice to spew ignorance. So SAD.

Obama will be a puppet...for The Speaker of the House. Obama is not a leader...he is a follower.

Obama...didn't have the testicles to stand up and walk out of the church, for 20 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICA WILL SUFFER IF OBAMA GETS ELECTED. WE WILL GET NUKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Clinton for a short while, then Clinton will take the Presidency!
My gut feeling.........all that we see isn't all that be.....stay tuned!

its 3:00 am, who do you want to be barack's running mate?

Too bad that Obama did not have the sound judgment to make clear from the start when this silly text message of his would be going out – instead he opted for sophomoric games which plenty exploited making a laughing stock out of him by sending out false text messages to the press and some of his supporters – Not the style of leadership we need. I have been reading about his soon to be announced VP selection Biden – this guy is going to get torn to pieces over his ever shifting explanations for his vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq – Weakness all around with Obama! I wonder if any of his true supporters are at all irritated that he did not text them as he promised when his decision for a VP was made – this has been such an incredible JOKE!!!

This man is truly amazing. It's going to be his way...not CNN, Fox, etc.

Never seen a presidential race like this, ever!

Obama 08

OBAMA/BIDEN..............The best possible team for this race !

There is too much hype behind this announcement for it to be Biden or any of the other quintessential "old white guys." I smell a game-changer tomorrow that will turn the Democratic Convention into a celebration instead of a controversy.

Obama and his supporters...think that they can win the presidency all by themselves. As Hillary supporter...if Obama picks anyone other that Hillary...that will confirm for me that Obama is an idiot.

So, when he picks Biden (or anyone other than Hillary)...my vote will go to McCain. Why? OBAMA LACKS EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really wish i would have signed up for that text thing the tension is killin me. hypothetically.

Another excellent masterful move by a well organized campaign...This once again gives foresight how Obama would run the country. Compared to the McCain camp...How many re-orgnizations has he had thus far hmmmmmm ???????? Probably as many houses he has!!!!

I feel like I'm back in pre-school, with Obama saying "I know something you don't know". I've lost interest in Obama's games. When I want to see games, I watch the Olympics. Be a grownup and make the announcement already and let the poor journalists get some rest.

It's me!!! I will be his VP!

I have been waiting all day! No call yet!

This is getting ridiculous. A leader states that he will make the announcement on Saturday. This is crazy and it shows that he is more of a celebrity like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Total Ditz. Not presidential material at all.

Obama/Sebelius '08

WOOO HOOOO!!!

Cool! I had already changed my cell's TXT ringtone to Obama Ringtone #9 this morning in anticipation. Have been keeping close tabs on my cell all day...

Wondering if my Saturday am wakeup will be Obama's voice: "This is Barack Obama. It's time to change America. Answer the call."

Well, for someone who advocates a serious change, and I stress SERIOUS, there is just too much circus around the VP choice. What's the deal with calling also-runs before the winner has been announced?To me this looks like Heidi Klum saying "Auf Wiedersehen.." to the unsuccessul contestants on "Project Runway". Then there is corny music and a commercial break, and another supposedly heart wrenching pause before the winner is announced.

OMG, a txt msg! Cnt wt to hr who its gna b!

What's next, having your VP come out of a cake?

yea...hey, FYI:
just make sure whoever it is, that they know how many houses they own before they face the media...its the best new test of just HOW out of touch someone in gov't can really be...

first we get a prez with the brainpower of a pea (maybe too much credit)...then comes along a barely educated, CAREER politician, lobbyist freakshow, prez wanna be with signs of dementia...

hmmmm, we're talkin clear, simple choice here people...

lets DRAIN the miserable republican swamp:

GO OBAMA.....

This Guy Must Have Something to hide

It will be Biden. Doesn't matter if you like him– he's the best pick.

It´s clair. She´s Hillary. After last poll, this is the better game. Pablo RodríguezBlanco pablorodriguezb@hotmail.com

I would have liked to have seen Jim "Ernest" Varney as the Vice Presidential pick. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us.

Hopefully Kaine and Bayh will still (successfully) campaign for Barack. It would be sick to win both IN and VA(!)

Being a transplanted Delaware Valley gal, I am hoping Biden will be the Democratic VP candidate. Yeah, he says what's on his mind, but he's got experience with foreign affairs and has a fine moral presence. I truly hope America will wake up from their malaize and vote for CHANGE. Our country cannot continue down this terrible road. This is ridiculous. We are the laughing stock of the world.

Finally, WE all must vote for Obama,becouse ALLAH wants to do it. ALLAH AKBAR and BARRAK H. OBAMA. ALLAH AKBAR,ALLAH AKBAR,ALLAH AKBAR.

It´s Clair. The VP is Hillary. After last pol. This is the game. Pablo RodríguezBlanco

People are saying Clinton wasn't vetted. WHY WOULD SHE NEED TO BE VETTED! She's already vetted.

Obama will be text messaging all of you from the john at 6:00 am.

UGGGH!

Hate to have people not sleep with all the waiting ... it's Biden.

This man is showing remarcable stamina. All that presure and curiosity he have handeled so well.Again and again i am impresed. Poor Mc Old trying desperately to get attention with his campain but it just doesn't work. He is not only old and slopy but over all boring ...Obama brings so much wisdom and skil in all he does it makes Mc Old even more rediculous to speak about lack of Obama experience.Way hwo he was runing this campain gives him legacy that Mc Old can only dream of.- and probably better hide own experiance since no one could belive he has some hearing what he is doing out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One House One Spouse Obama 08

Oh goody then it must be that's he's announcing Eddie Murphy as his running mat. At least one of them can make our enemies laugh.

Shame on You Senator Obama!

Never considering Hillary for this coveted position shows that you are the candidate that is not in touch with reality.

Ana Vamadeva

Mason,OH

I could be way off here but I truly feel Obama is planning on some big surprise like Hillary or Al Gore. Let's face it the media has been touting Biden, Bayh, and Kaine for the past week and if it was really one of them, why not just come out and announce it. If you announce one of those 3 tomorrow AM prior to the rally in Illinois, where is the excitement?

Instead Obama seems prepared to make some shocking announcement that will have every TV turned to his appearance in Illinois tomorrow.

It's going to be the '3:00 am' call. Brilliant re-branding. Take all the wind out of future references.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 A winning team

Can't wait. However, I'm only 17, but I'm old enough to understand that releasing this through texts is low. It's something that should be done formally. Though I admit that it is a brilliant idea to help lock in the youth vote.

It's going to be a 3am text!!!

Too bad the Bush administration has not been as good at keeping Valerie Plame's identity a secret – oh, that's right, Bozo & Co. were seeking a vendetta because sombody disagreed with them.

Go Obama!

this is great, i bet you it joe biden. he will suck joe biden on john mcshame who doesn't know how many house he have because he have to many. all the little children that supported hillary your need to suck it up and get over it and vote for a dem that will bring good ideas , so this nation will not go further into recession. all the hilllary supporter grow up and let move on.

hurry up

It will be someone with experience who could be anyone since BHO doesn't have any.
Probably another old white guy with experience so he can show BHO what to do.

Please make it Richardson or Bayh, and not Biden

Obama, good job for keeping the announcement secret until Saturday AM.
Because, everything that is secret becomes important.

Best of luck

Ho-hum. He claims to have decided on Thursday, promised to announce it on Friday, now says he'll be announcing it on Saturday. Unless it's Hillary it won't do him any good, and besides, the suspense is now anti-climatic.

Ha ha I love these suckers who signed up for Obama's "give me money" call list (disguised as a VIP vice-prez text message). Everyone in the country will know as soon as the first person gets the text, making the whole point moot.

You gotta give Obama credit for taking slime to a whole new technological level. LOL.

I got the text message from Sen. Obama, and it said that Joe Biden was it pick. I'm not joking. This was a text message sent at 9:45PM. I wonder why CNN is not reporting this news.

Write that on papyrus for McCain, OK?

Let us come together and beat the living daylights out of the GOP. Eight years of misery, america wake up.

From Texas we will be anxiously awaiting the good news.

Best wishes and God Bless You and your family

I love this.....I have been chipmunking my phone all day waiting for the text message. I just hope it doesn't come through at 3am on the West Coast!

No matter what Barack Obama does ittement draws a lot of media attention. I feel so Proud to be an American right now. Not that I ever wasn't it just excitement of it all. This is the first time in my adult life I have ever voted and worked on an actual campaign. This is wonderful
48 Year old Proud American

I tried to tell my co workers the word would come down tomorrow. I should have bet them a tank of gas. I also should have signed up for the text when I got the email.

I can't wait! Anybody who he chooses will be a fine choice and will win come November.

Obama 08!

Please talk more about McwarMonger wanting to re-start the draft; he said it, he means it and he will not get my child until the enemy crosses the US border! Stop them Obama!

Mr Obama is the greatest. i will be waiting for the 3am VP text.

OBAMA 08 !!!!!!!!

I trust his judgment on this. Looking forward to it.

Liar.......Mr. Obama.....you said you ready how come it take too long for announce your VP.......Oh the real thing is you not ready yet huh. Our Democratic will vote for Hillary in Denver.

I know that Obama wants this to be a dramatic moment in his campaign, but we're getting tired of waiting. Announce your pick already!

Hope he chooses someone great, like Joe Biden!!!

Why the wait. What the hell is the point of keeping everyone guessing. If he is the next president will he always keep Americans guessing what he is going to do, this is crazy. I can only hope McCain won't act this way.

I am far too excited.

Ooooohhhhh! The drama! The excitement! This is just retarded. These antics diminish the seriousness of this race. For the first time, I can see the validity of the comparison made between Senator Obama and various vapid celebutantes.

He picks Mccain since both of them are loosers and hacks.

Good, maybe CNN can show some actual news and stop the stupid speculation!

While you're at it, take down that crap about him snubbing Hillary. She made it clear she didn't want to be VP, he is honoring HER stated wishes.

I WANT YOUR VOTERS BUT I DON"T WANT YOUR DEBT

I, for one, am watching this process from Canada and very impressed with the discipline and confidentiality of the Obama campaign – no leaks – amazing! I hope the VP is Joe Biden.

This is not CHANGE, but the same old politics

Yeah! Will it be Al Gore, Joe Biden?

Please Don't let it be a Clinton or Jesse Jackson...

Who could it be- maybe General Honore....Need a straight from the hip shooter...Perhap Colin Powell will jump in and make it interesting....As Dan Rather said in 2000, "I can feel the wax popping out of my ears!"

Who cares.

Who cares?
Both the Democrats and Republicans will drive our economy over the cliff. We're screwed regardless who wins it.

This whole hoopla is just ridiculous. Hollow showmanship that exemplifies the candidate.

We will know after 10am et, 9 am ct and 8 am pt. Please, I hope it's Biden.

I waited all day. I was told to expect the news on Friday. I consider the VP selection to be the most important choice the nominee makes. They said Friday was the day they would tell us. If they can't deliver on this, why should I care the next day, or any day thereafter? I'm unimpressed with both candidates, and this knocks Obama down a notch for me. Why should I trust anything else he says now?

It's going to be Caroline Kennedy.

The announcement will come, when the announcement comes. CNN you have become a disgrace and a chore to watch. Corporate News Network, out bashing Obama in order to compete with FOXNEWs is simply slimey.

Great. I wonder what time, anyway I think it will be Joe Biden. I trust Obama's judgment to pick the right one. Obama/Biden 08-12

Friday night announcment. Nobama 08. It's obvious VP won't be Clinton. Just the same ol....Obubble, bye bye. McCain 08!!!! Democrat for Change. Go McCain.

Will his plan for America include iphones that work on 3G? Mine is terrible and I probably won't get his text message.

There should be no suspense. It's going to be Joe "Bad Hair Transplant" Biden.

Everyone already knows it is Biden. But there's no one Obama could pick at this point that will let him win.

AL GORE is the pick.

There should be no suspense. It's Joe "Bad Hair Transplant" Biden!

what a stupid thing to call news. BHO has to send the text before Saturday morning rally to introduce VP.

Will CNN have as big a hissy about McCain's running mate? I will watch to see.

It's Hillary!

This build up to the announcement of a VP is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. By the time it is announced nobody will be interested anymore. He's supposed to be running for President of the United States, not the Marketing Director of some corporation. Stupid.

I predict Biden will be chosen. There's a good strong ticket right there.

I'll support Obama whomever he chooses...

A former Republican.

Mr. Obama is showing is propensity for being a control freak by leading everyone around by the nose as we await his announcement. The past few weeks, he has seemed to becoming more arrogant & aloof. When he speaks or 'Preaches", he seems to be doing so to hear himself and bask in his own perceived glory.
His only hope of getting in the White House is if he chooses Hillary Clinton as his running mate. Anyone else will be a ho hum bore of a choice and seal the nail in his coffin.

love it.

Who cares? Nobody is going to vote on the basis of the VP anyway. If they did then there's no way people would have chosen Dan Quayle over Lloyd 'Friend of Jack Kennedy' Bentsen.

Obama is trying to fill in the gaps he lacks – but he will still lack them after his pick. It will be up to McCain to not screw up his pick. With Obama it makes no difference since his choice is probably going to be more qualified to be President than he is.

I kinda knew he would wait that long. He might though send the text at night which I expect.

Thank God I at least know it'll be tomorrow morning. I was up all last night waiting for that text message.

Oh, and to my hubby who thought it was real funny sending me the fake text, remember you live with me.

Good luck ! Here's hoping this team will usher in a prosperous, peaceful, non-partisan , hopeful new beginning for the great people of the USA !!!!!!

If they text that it is Clinton I may toss the phone!!
No abused woman for VP!! Abused mentally by her
husband's messing around. We do not need that!

You gotta love this, folks. And the ones hating on Obama and this text thing, you weren't going to vote for him anyways. So whatever he does or says you'll have a problem with it. Give the man his props. Don't be jealous that McCain didn't think of this.

Hatred is such a horrible illness, get well soon!

We love you Obama, but this is just too much suspense.

Saturday morning starts in a couple hours at midnight.

DDay for Repubicans!!!!!!!!Here comes the train!!!!!!

Biden.

Just another trivial thread from CNN to post a photo of Obama so the fools can worship their messiah.

Hopefully he will be able to make decisions and announcements quicker if he gets in the White House. But don't count on that!

I've never seen someone work so hard at alienating voters--

This is great! I'm trying to make myself get up at the same time I usually do on the weekdays, so this is a perfect beginning! I'm feeling all sorts excited right now! Only problem is, I've put my bet on Biden, but I was hoping it would be Clinton.

This is the way of the future.

I love it, and I'm 65.

Obama '08 (and whomever you have picked – know you will give as much thought and careful consideration to ALL your advisors. Thanks Barack !!!!!! )

The Media is so gullible!! All day, rather all week, the question has been the same, and the media ate it up HOOK LINE AND SINKER!!

Way to go Obama!! IM SO EXCITED!! Prepare yourselves for a huge political left hook.

OBAMA 08!!

Hmmmmm what time Saturday AM!

I think I can wait that long...

this is awesome. can't wait to see who it is

The media helps us to forget the facts of life America is facing; love it. What time in AM?

I'll be waiting! Good luck Senator Obama!
