(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."
The e-mail, from the address obama08campaign@aol.com, was purportedly from Barack Obama and read, "I said you would be the first to know, and you are - I have selected Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as my running mate!”
No word on when the real e-mail will be sent.

ummm.....ok? why don't you just wait till he actually announces it to write a story about it? I mean, i think that would be the ideal thing to...i donno though, i'm just an average american citizen....no big deal
Just let it end!!!
IF NOT CLINTON ON MIND THE PARTY IS RUINED, VERY BADLY AND DAMAGED. NOW THE VOTERS HAS FALLEN APART, THE BEST OF THE PARTY HAS BEEN DESTROYED.////
You knew this was going to happen. It's too much for those immature repubs to resist.
exactly why he shouldn't do it via text messages. too many hoax
Pro-life mcInsane legislate the death of americans and iraqis.Did tjhese innocent of the dirty war have the same rights from conception?
The headline on CNN's homepage read "Obama calling losers". I didn't think he would ever phone into the Rush Limbaugh show. Imagine that...
More false emails like this one and people are going to ignore the real one when it comes out. He threw a party and nobody came.
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, OBAMA (BO) LOOKS AT THIS VP SELECTION AS A GAME................................HE THINKS EVERYTHING IS A GAME...........................
OF COURSE NOT, WITH HIS EXPERIENCE HOW COULD HE KNOW.
Behold, Obama's VP announcement is at hand.
This is stupid! How unprofessional obUMMER!
I am so tired of this man...please don't let us have to listen to him for four or, God forbid, EIGHT more years.
If he doesn't pick Hillary he's even dumber than I thought and with Americans struggling to fill there gas tank and trying to figure out how to heat there homes this Winter this clown suggesting we send a BILLION dollars to Georgia convinced me he's either pretty dumb or doesn't want to win.
mario..... he has. it's saturday fool
How ridiculous the media looks camped outside the possible VPs homes...like a bunch of stalkers...makes you hope that Obama has selected someone else and they are safely inside the Obama home (that he bought and is paying for through hard work and brilliant writing).
Good high-tech concept but clearly did not consider the possibility of hackers. And people wonder why folks are nervous about black box election machines with no paper trail.
i hope mccain steels his thunder and announces first
Hahaha, good to see that some people keep a sense of humor about all of this.
If it's not Clinton, it really doesn't matter.
It's not going to slow Obama's sinking. The guy peaked in March, a little early.
He's going to lose in Nov and it's not even going to be close.
Funny CNN obssesed with the V.P pick. CNN it does not matter who his running mate is, Obama is the president the V.P does what he/she told so stop making this thing a big deal just to boost you rating while you do not have any constructive news to report. you guys make me sick.
ENOUGH OF THIS BULLCRAP OBAMA YOUR JUST A PLAYER. I'M FINISHED WITH YOU AND YOUR WHOLE PLAYER MONTRA. I WAS LEANING TOWARDS YOU BUT NOT COMPLETELY, BUT NOW GO SCREW.
Not in your camp anymore I don't know what McCain is going to do but I do know this short of him picking Romney he may just get my vote. If he picks Romney or Lieberman the Demo. Traitor! I'm staying home and or do some yard work at one of my Houses......
What is this? Highschool?
Guess people are tire of the waiting game.
This anticipation from Obama is such a turn-on.
TROPOPHOBIA.....
You McCain/Hillary supporters are suffering. get help
