I'm starting to think this thing gets announced tomorrow in Springfield.

[olkaz]

I mean, it won't be long before people start heading home from work.

I gotta admit, this whole thing is pretty funny. Obama's trolling us :)

[uppityperson]

1. tis noon on the west coast.

[Avalux]

2. Text sent right before they appear on stage?

That would be COOL. :D

[nsd]

6. But if they do it right before the appearance, then the whole text message thing will look so lame.

After all, what's the point of registering your number if all it means is a 5 minute heads-up?

[redqueen]

17. To find out ahead of time...

I never expected a one- or two- or however many day advance notice... so this doesn't strike me as odd at all. :shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

3. What time is the Springfield rally?

Anyone? :shrug:

[BklynChick]

4. would s/he be hiding backstage?

[hisownpetard]

8. That's what I'm thinking - but how in the world would they get the secret VP candidate from

the airport to the site without anyone knowing/seeing/finding out?

This is really getting into claok-and-dagger territory.

[BklynChick]

10. there's no way that could happen if it's one of the usual suspects, whose homes are being staked out

24/7.

[olkaz]

20. There is no backstage, it's outside in front of the old state capitol

The VP **could** hide inside the building. That would be dramatic.

[Barack_America]

5. Pissed.

I would be pissed.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

15. Me too... it needs to be today. I don't like being teased like this.

[redqueen]

18. Oh look! You're still here!

Fancy seeing you in a thread like this!

:rofl:

[Frustratedlady]

7. Well, I've got my popcorn sitting in the microwave, waiting for me to hit "start"!

My thoughts are the Friday evening dump. Say, 4:00 est.

That will take the weekend of 100% coverage, then go directly into the convention. By the time that is over, everyone will be saying, "McCain, who?"

Just sayin'.

[tokenlib]

9. The secret will be out if they wait too long...

Unless it fails to be Biden and the media neglected to stake out the entire list...that would be cool!!

[golddigger]

11. Yeah and who the f**k is Chet Edwards?

[frogmarch]

12. It's as if he's saying

"Neener neener neener...I know something youuuuu donnnnn't!" :P

It's getting tiresome.

[terrya]

13. So am I.

I completely agree with you. :thumbsup:

[redqueen]

14. NOPE! He's trolling the M$M!

And I frickin LOVE it!

:rofl:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

19. Wrong... if he doesn't announce today, he's trolling us.

Quit pretending otherwise.


I don't give a fuck if I get a text message 2 hours before his press conference tomorrow.


I think it will be announced between 4-5 EST today.

[redqueen]

21. Nice try! You keep on enjoyin your stay!

:hi:

[KatieW]

16. You have a point, but with the media camped out on the front lawns of some of the leading contenders

for VP, I think the media would catch them leaving to get a plain to go meet Obama up in Springfield, unless that is they're already there.
