I'll bet McCain announces his VEEP either right before, during or right after

[cliffordu]

Obama's speech tonight.

The little weasel just can't give up the spotlight.

[thunder rising]

1. So watch CSPAN

[justiceischeap]

2. And I thought in the past both parties had been respectful of the other's

Convention

[cliffordu]

6. Didn't one of the drones who might be veep wander around the Dem

convention talking shit??

Wasn't Ruuuuuudy(911) wandering around blabbering??

[ieoeja]

9. I believe that was turn until 2004.

I think I recall the GOP running a slate of attack ads during our convention last year which all the pundits thought was pretty tacky. But now that the precedence has been set....

[LSparkle]

3. That would be REALLY, REALLY bad form ...

I think even some Rethugs would take issue with a
move like that. Shameless spotlight-stealing and
not behavior becoming a "respected war hero" like
BombBomb (ha!).

4. McCain ad to rebut Obama's DNC speech

Tonight, John McCain will talk directly to his opponent in a television ad his campaign is airing in battleground states, around the time Barack Obama accepts the presidential nomination, McCain's campaign said.

Aides would give few details beyond the fact that McCain will speak directly to the camera, addressing Obama.

The strip-tease on the ad is one of several moves by the McCain campaign that could distract attention from Obama's big night.

The campaign was fueling speculation about his running mate, who is to be named at a McCain rally in Ohio tomorrow. A top campaign official says McCain has settled on his vice presidential choice and will notify the person today.

5. I saw something today,

and I have forgotten just where, that said the Prince Of Weasels will actually announce on Friday.

[cliffordu]

7. Prince of weasels....

:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

8. It'll get "leaked" beforehand though..

probably in time for the early morning news, so he can compete with the reviews of Obama's speech.

[polmaven]

10. Oh, no doubt he wants to compete

with the Friday morning news cycle.
