What time of day will the VP announcement arrive?

Poll question: What time of day will the VP announcement arrive?

Times in EST. I'm assuming it'll be some time during the hours below so west coast is awake too but I could be wrong!

[LSparkle]

1. Around 9 a.m. EST ... so I'll have to leave my phone by my bed in the West

I predict the text beep will wake me up, frankly.

3. I think he'll be kinder than that -- let you get up and going before he

takes over your day with the news. :7

16. Kerry announced The Cheater at about 8 a.m.

I was on my way to work when I heard.

[Muttocracy]

6. he's from Hawaii so he might be sensitive to time zone bias ;)

[gateley]

10. Jeez - I feel like I'm an isolationist. I was only thinking about the

continental US. :blush:

[Muttocracy]

11. well, my time slots didn't really take HI into account either.

[LSparkle]

15. I'm in L.A. and I remember getting up at 4 a.m. to see the Kerry/Edwards anncmt

Since I've become more politically active, I have lost
SO MUCH SLEEP IT'S NOT FUNNY! (Washington Journal on
"The Span" starts at 4 a.m. my time, so there are days
I show up to work on less than 6 hours sleep ... but
the wiser for it!)

Please, Barack -- at least let it happen at NOON EASTERN
which will allow me to toast my morning latte to you
and your running mate ...

and I LOVE YOUR SCREEN NAME -- JOE TRULY IS ONE OF US!!!!!
(Need I add that I will be THRILLED if his choice is
Biden?)

[Muttocracy]

17. You sound more excited than some of the regulars in the Biden forum :)

[LSparkle]

18. Oops .. forgot about the forums! I've been e-mailing everyone I know

letting them know why I think Joe is THE GUY ...
Seriously, he IS the "real deal" (yeah, I'm
borrowing, Randi).

[Muttocracy]

19. I usually don't catch Randi - is she a Biden fan now? nt

[LSparkle]

22. She used to play a clip of him saying, "I like you. You're the real deal."

I think he was talking about Gonzalez (OMG!) but I
think she has a begrudging respect for him.

I know I DO and would be overjoyed to have him
on the ticket. This man has served our country for
a long time, tried twice to become president himself,
and I think his continuing service to the country
(as well as the fact he's been vetted more than
once) make him a more than deserving pick for the
ticket. I want change, but we must also respect
someone like Joe who has served this country for
THIRTY FUCKING YEARS -- and, as I've reminded
myself recently, he came into Congress in 1972,
in time to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the Watergate era.

2. 2-4pm EDT

I think they'll want their supporters out of bed, awake, not stuck in traffic to or from work, and give it in time to hit the evening news.

EDIT -- what do you think, JIOOU?

[goodgd_yall]

4. That's what I think

All week I'm going to be checking into DU's Latest Breaking News. I've done it several times already.

[gateley]

9. It'll probably be on the front page in BIG letters! :-) nt

[Muttocracy]

5. I have no idea - just wanted a poll everyone could play in :)

[Muttocracy]

7. and I guess noone else cares either :)

[gateley]

8. Well it was fun while it lasted.

:pals:

[WheelWalker]

12. It'll be at 1:54 p.m. nt

[Muttocracy]

13. way to be decisive :-D

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Other - When Access Hollywood is on...

[snowbear]

20. Politico reports it will be in the early a.m....

Then again.. what the hell do they know?

[Muttocracy]

24. 3am would be kinda perfect, eh? nt

[Avalux]

21. Early; 6 am EST.

So the supporters know about it before the morning pundits get going.

[Muttocracy]

23. oh no, I'm such a night owl and not a morning person I'd have to stay up for that! :)

[AZBlue]

25. How is this productive? How does this get Obama elected?
