This is getting stupid
A) Obama will give us his choice on Fri/Sat.

B) Nothing we say here will change that.

C) Tearing each other up helps our opposition.

D) No one VP choice will decide the election.

Guys, the flammage has been coming hard and fast from all sides today. Let's try and be good to each other. We are all on the same team with the same goal.

5. Agree 100%
It's obvious only one person can get the job, so lots of people won't get their choice. Obama will win if we stop listening to the media handwringing and get the truth out there. It's that simple, it's that simple every single election.

43. It wasn't him who said it. It was an organizer of his office in VA who said the announcement
at the hall meeting. It would be made tomorrow and those who want to know can send a text to 62262 with VP listed or go here.

30. Not really, at least as reported here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6678296&mesg_id=6678425

I thought he said, "Tomorrow morning... or some other time, I don't know!"


But best VP thread in a long time. The decision is made and we will know soon.

44. I was listening at the announcement and I responded to a similar question on a better thread
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 08:43 PM by vaberella
about the VP and his talk today in VA.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6678210

an even better thread,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6678296

The announcement was going to be tomorrow morning, but he didn't know who the VP choice would be.

I love my party too much to give up. There are days I desperately want to throw in the towel, but I keep coming back.

Even if just a few listen and try to change, I'll be a happy Dem!

32. Oddly, I despise McCains top VP choices more then I despise him.
Mittens is an asshole that I wish would get the fuck out of my state.

Lieberman is just a snake that I wish would get out of my country.
