WHO IS IT GOING TO BE??? JUST ****ING TELL US!!!!

BHO screwed up..........he waits until tonight, and the public will care less. He needed to announce the choice earlier in the week to have extended play leading up to the convention by the Obama News Networks. What happens now is that the announcement gets buried in the Convention news and the distinct possibllity of the Clintons hijacking the convention. The Clintons will undermine Obama every chance they get because they want the power and the attention.
They also have excellent memories and will remember who stood with them, and who crossed them. Payback will be a B****.

exactly! which is why people are squirming about the roll call - NOBODY wants to go on public record as changing their vote from Hil to Obama.


but all this hype better produce some stellar choice that nobody even thought about ... otherwise, its a huge handjob with no ... um.. payoff 

the hype has already exceeded any choice he could make.  he's building this thing up until it is an unavoidable disappointment/anti-climax.

and to pursue the metaphor, he should be more mindful of how much he teases the MSM and his followers, because at some point or another, the smart thing to do is to just give up, put your pants back on, and go home.

i think you may be right.. his coy 'wouldnt you like to know!' responses are not professional and certainly not worthy of the leader of the free world.

i sure hope McCain's new guy is cranking out ads about this stupid stunt.

WE can't get no satisfaction....

I was going to say "dry orgasm", but lauri beat me to the analogy.

i just couldnt think of *any* other analogy with such a big let down.. 

[TheSarge]

did you hear the Biden speech from the 80s about that? Rush is just salivating for the choice to be Biden... he is going to blow up his archives digging up all the crazy stuff Biden has said over the years ]/quote]

Yup I've been hearing it all week. 

and again, how is that "change" ...? 

It's new...fresh and "change" because a black man said it.

Wake up you racist!

If Biden is the VP, will BHO say that his selection was based on Biden being 'intelligent, articulate and CLEAN?

[Splashdown]

I heard the Obama campaign is going to text-message everyone their pick.  Srsly, that's just silly.

it's a slick way of getting email addresses and cell phone numbers for future campaign donation efforts.

Also very effective in "get out the vote" efforts come election day.

which, by that time, the way this guy is going about it, will become the "finish totally pissing off the undecided voter" effort.

As far as I'm concerned, Teh Obamessiah can keep the name of the vice messiah under his hat until November.  Every second that goes by without the white smoke coming from the Obama camp is like Chinese water torture on the DUmmies, and I for one find it entertaining as hell.

[Chris]

The guy's been campaigning for nearly two years.  You'd think he would have picked a VP before now.

He's so full of himself, it's never crossed his mind before now.

Obama needs to go with someone that won't outshine hime. Someone that hopefully restores some of the street cred he has lost of late. The pick will be Emmanuel Lewis 

[Chris]

Send phony VP announcements to your friends.

 

[miskie]

Stupid Obama campaign - all he is doing is insuring that most people will be disappointed as all these little "camps" have developed for all the most likely picks - all of which now have an 8-mile long list of why their fantasy team is better than all the others. Thyere will be many tears of angst - the most of which will be coming from the Hillary folks (most likely - I put little faith in HC getting the Veep spot - but I have been wrong before).

Its like Obama is now making "Operation Chaos - Veep Edition" against himself..

This reminds me of Fred Thompson. Back around last summer, many of us were anxiously waiting for him to get in the race, but the announcement never came, despite several hints. I imagine it was because he was waiting for that season of Law and Order to finish its run. Anyway, finally in September, the announcement came, but it was too late. The wave of momentum had passed him by and by then, too many people had made up their minds for someone else, and he just couldn't muster the support, despite his conservative views.

If Obama continues to tarry like this, it will only hurt his campaign further, and whatever bump in the polls that he may be expecting just won't materialize.

That certainly seems to be true.  Of course at this point, he could use all the excitment he can muster and just hope that it does something..... anything.  It's almost like he's doing this with his fingers crossed hoping some stupid gesture will light a fire under his campaign.

Yeah, I'm starting to see a bit of desperation setting in, and when that happens, it can only go downhill from here. It's also entirely possible that he hasn't actually decided, and he made the announcement to generate all this hype while he tries to make up his mind.

I'm with you on this. Keep stringing the DUmmies along. Watching them blow a gasket is my weekend entertainment.

Yes -- this reminds me of the scene in SW I where Jar Jar had his hand stuck in the Anakin's pod racer engiine turbine.

End of the month, end of the meds. The next several days are going to be fun!

excellent point... !

and you'd think, after knowing what a total snooze-fest the VP nomination is, he wouldnt be making such a big damn deal about it...

the media swooning over the entire affair is only encouraging him . . . . this is getting beyond ridiculous.

maybe he is stalling just so he can acquire more email addresses & etc.
