I can’t help but think, as I imagine all these Democrats hovering over their iPhones, sweat rolling down their cheeks, shushing everyone who dares speak, of another group of acolytes who spent their time in anxious anticipation of the ultimate selection by their “The One”:
Can’t you just picture the txtual release, the electoral ecstasy, when they finally get their magic missive from on high?
What do you think? Are you quivering on the edge or are you bored? Know another illustrative video or graphic? Let’s have sharing time.

A text message is silly...
GrnMtn Friday, August 22nd at 4:18PM EST (link)And yet it’s tying up your brain. I suppose some people have nothing better to think about that text messages that other people may or may not be reading.

justatron (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 4:20PM EST (link)I thought about it, just so I could get the inevitable phone call from the wide-eyed acolyte that would try to get me into the cult and the fun, fun conversation that would generate. But I decided not to waste my minutes or text messages…
How much worse then

What do you think? You know, about that?

Maybe you should go and read the plethora of diaries that hold that content you seek before blasting the whole site for trying to have some fun on a friday afternoon….ya think!!!

Actully it's my first time...
GrnMtn Friday, August 22nd at 4:35PM EST (link)I just stopped by to see what kind of insightful thinking I would find here. One curious thing I’ve discovered is when searching for an event near my house, (zip code 80228), I find 1 event – September 4th, it’s a convention watching party. Doing the same search on the Obama site returns 151 events. Is that just because I live in Colorado?
It's pretty obvious, isn't it
septembergurl (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 4:37PM EST (link)that the One has totally screwed up the VP selection so hopelessly that his campaign will ditch the whole texting thing and the VP will not appear till tomorrow’s event.
Either he offered it to several people who all accepted or he got turned down — something’s gone wrong and they have to get a warm body for the event tomorrow.
Nobody –NOBODY — is going to release a piece of information like this after 5 PM on a Friday. NOBODY. Txt msg or carrier pigeon. It’s insane, it’s screwing up everybody’s deadline and making the media look like fools.
This is what the Chet Edwards boomlet is about. OK, how about Chet Edwards? does it not have the whiff of desperation?
My feeling, the One had always intended to go with somebody like Wesley Clark or Hagel — yes, or Lugar — and now has to call somebody back who he had already turned down — or some similar scenario. He picked someone and it turned into an Eagleton type debacle.
Either that or it is Hillary
Factcheck.org has been on the ball lately...
IL_Glock21 (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 4:37PM EST (link)…everything from debunking the McCain plagiarizing his cross story, to calling Obama out on trying to link Abramoff to the man who is probably most responsible for him being in prison, to Obama’s lies of omission on the McCain economy quotes.
Obama needs to learn that going negative works better if you’re not lying and just setting up even better attack ads on dishonesty against yourself.
Fun week!

Second…I assumed you were from Vermont…you know the Green Mountain state.
Third…if it’s your first time here why would you think that this is the only subject we are offering up for debate.
Fourth…why don’t you try to not be a pompous ass
Fifth…to bad campaign events don’t count as a vote for president.

The One can have as many events as he wants. He's still going to to lose badly.
Tim_Schieferecke (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 5:13PM EST (link)It makes me laugh whenever I think about how much money dorks like you are spending on the chosen one. I laugh because I know how you’ll cry and go crazy again when yet another D proves his letter grade title. After this, you all might want to consider becoming the F party, as in Fat Chance, Fall Apart, Fail, Fanatatical, and drum roll please… The Finished Party. America still doesn’t do Marxism very well. Put that in you pipe and smoke it.

Eagleton = Edwards?
Freedoms Truth (Diary) Friday, August 22nd at 5:56PM EST (link)Maybe he was leaning towards John Edwards and it blew up on him with the love-child scandal and he didnt have a second choice in mind. That would fit the meme of dredging up Chet Edwards, a pretty absurd choice (and good luck with that if he tries it, it will instantly end one mans congressional career and do absolutely nothing for him on the ticket except PO the Hillary supporters that such a nonentity was put there instead of her).
Anyway, he did blow the timing of it. Should have been done by now. Time to celebrate that and taunt Obama for his indecisiveness. This is not a guy to take to a Chinese restaurant … or put in the White House! Cant make a decision!

I may be off base here
Pupwood Friday, August 22nd at 5:58PM EST (link)but once again the One, by shunning traditional means of notification and choosing txt msg notification is showing his “exclusive colors”. To many people, esp older and blue collar, texting is not the primary means of communication. They get their information from traditional means.
It strikes me as kind of eliteist when you are only deemed worthy of first notification via your ability to use / own a digital texting device (pc or otherwise) Maybe the text able demographic is all he cares about….just sayin…
How long do youthink it will be
GrnMtn Friday, August 22nd at 7:42PM EST (link)between the text message going out and the announcement hitting the AP wire? I’m guessing about 3 seconds. I’m sure anyone who isn’t signed up to receive the text message, myself included, will feel like we are in the dark ages for that entire time.
Anybody esle in Missouri

Don P Friday, August 22nd at 9:15PM EST (link)I have been totally impressed with the news media’s willingness to be lead around by the nose. I hope their friends are sending them fake test messages just to play with their small brains.
It is hard to think any less of todays news media than I already do but they keep setting the bar lower and lower.
Common sense is far from common.
For whom the Obama Tolls..
Don P Friday, August 22nd at 9:41PM EST (link)How would you feel if Obama calls you, and tells you the good news is you are my first…uh second choi… uh well will you take the VP slot.
The bad news is that for the rest of your life you will be the one elected official that will be known for defending Obama’s statement of admiration of China.
ooops sorry you must have dialed the wrong number….click.
