To Mike:

Oh, how soon you forget the idiocy of the supporters of George W. How soon you forget! What a shame.

And to everyone else who is whining and crying about this:

It's interesting that you are commenting here on a blog. If you think it's so stupid then why do you care enough to keep checking the ticker? Chill out. No one asked your permission about announcing via a text message. It is not the campaign that is making this a big deal. It is the media feeding the beast (web surfers like you).

Vegas,

you are obviously a paid RNC staffer.

Just hate Obama whatever he does, right?

p.s. what's the coordinated effort to diminish Obama's stature as a man? Limbaugh did it yesterday, now you. Must have gotten your talking points memo from the guy who ran bush's campaign that is now running mccain's.

Who cares about the losing VP Candidate? Does any sane person believe that Barack Obama will be elected President?

Forget the polls...people will continue to vote on racial lines...ie. >90% African Americans vote for Obama....the white vote won't be much different.

It's definitely Chet Edwards. You see, it was going to be John Edwards, but then the story about his mistress came out, so Obama had to pick someone else. But, he's already had thousands of stickers and banners printed that say "Obama-Edwards," so he has to dig up another Edwards...

The Obama campaign should have known that something like this would happen. I agree that he should have said when he will announce. This makes him look ridiculous. Obama should run his campaign the way he had been running it when he was ahead of the game and not try to play games. The campaign is just not as good at it as the Rove/McCain team. They are going to rain in his parade in Denver too.

By: Mikel

Half the people commenting think Obama is the one that sent out the messages....... I fear for our country. There are so many idiots. CNN knows this and is chipping away at Obama with their weirdly worded headlines (seriously, look at them sometimes, they are skewed to make mccain look better). Even worse, they have Glenn Beck subtly steering away independent support by being "down to earth" and tricking people. Conservatives have really made me sick. I guess at the rallies they'll be chanting "4 more years!" again... look at how that turned out...

I love that so many people lose sleep over the announcement. I also find it quite interesting that being told that the decision has been made means everyone should know who the VP is going to be immediately. Let me clue you in, it's not going to be anyone posting here so maybe relax.

I honestly think the majority of people chomping at the bit are just looking for something new to focus their trolling on. As soon as the VP is announced everyone can take a deep breath and move on to the next silly issue.

Maybe we will find out that Obama or McCain has a peanut allergy and reflect on the possibility that they aren't in touch with the majority of the population that can eat peanuts.

Hate to break it to Obama.

But the people in VA don't like Gov. Tim Kaine.
All he does is raise taxes and send it to Transportation projects that never get finished.

Not to mention his delightful cutting of the Education Budget.

I most likely going to vote for Obama; but if he has Tim Kaine as his running mate, I am voting for McCain.

I don't know if I want to vote for him or anyone. Now with these guessing games. You have to wait, even though I have made my decision; because I said so. Lets postpone this announcment. Sounds like a parent or a lawyer, not a future president.
A real exeuctive does not have time to wait, if he wants to be the executive leader of the nation he needs to act like one.

And since you all seem to lack the ability to read between the lines, I'll spell it out for you:

It's not the Obama people sending out these messages. They're FAKE. It's some other group of people. Probably people who want to damage his reputation... hmmmmmm.

PUMAs, maybe?

Gee to read some of these blogs you would think email is something new – let alone notifying people that way of who is the pick for VP. This is a circus – what a joke.

Playing coy with his choice is an ego move for Obama. The media has him so convinced he is "The One", that he truly believes that we wait anxiously for anything that comes out of his mouth. He really believes he's got everyone fooled, and he's enjoying his celebrity. The media and his supporters who adore him have created this! It's insane!

I've seen conventions in the past where the VP wasn't named until the convention. So the only ones with the "suspense" are those in the media and "we the people" who are trying to rush things. Chill

Oh my god, this whole VP thing is an absolute joke! But that's the way Obama has been treating this whole election. He's treating this whole thing like some high school gossip. But I can guarantee there will be Obama supporters who spin this and say, "He's so youthful", "he's just in touch with the people". I can't stand everything that Obama is.
