We're starting to see the 5 Stages of Grief over the VP pick

[Renew Deal]

Denial: The VP pick is coming in the next hour! :party:
Anger: Why hasn't Obama made his choice known yet? :mad:
Bargaining: If Obama doesn't announce in the next 15 minutes, the news cycle will pass. :shrug:
Depression: I can't believe Obama is stringing us along like this. :cry:
Acceptance: Obama will make the announcement tomorrow. I'll just have to clear my schedule. ;)

1. Now THAT's good. K&R!

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Sums it up very nicely. And then it will start all over again once the pick has

been revealed.

3. Don't forget....

Amusement: I'm finding this shit funny as hell! :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

4. You left out the stage...

...where all of your synapses spontaneously combust, you involuntarily start
singing, "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band.

I think that's between Bargaining and Depression.

5. LOL

:rofl:

It will be tonight. The campaign said so earlier this week. "Friday at the latest".

[Divine Discontent]

6. yep, clearly tomorrow...

well, that's unless they want it to break on the evening news 6:30 Eastern time with a text message to us all around 6:25? LOL

make it end!!! HA...

It's gotta be Biden... well, maybe Webb, er, maybe Kaine that is, but I guess it still could be Clark in an agreement deal with the Clintons, or then again, it could be someone else altogether (but good heavens, anyone but Bayh, j/k)...

14. 7:15PM. (central time)

Breaking news on Countdown. That's when I'd do it if I was Obama. Course if I was Obama, I'd be the next president of the United States, so clearly I am not.

Edited to add central time. 8:15 eastern. Even though I work w/ east-coasters and am pretty much on EDT all week, I somehow forgot about time zones when I posted this.

[Divine Discontent]

15. OOH, true.. breaking for Countdown to gain more attention, true.

it's Obama's one true real news program that he can count on not to smear him, so why not?

[LiberalEsto]

7. 6th stage: Tantrum

I wanna know NOW I wanna know NOW I wanna know NOW!
:bounce: :cry: :banghead:

[Froward69]

8. it is difficult to determine

whom to gear up to defend!!! :evilfrown:

[Spazito]

9. LOL! Very good! n/t

[RazBerryBeret]

10. I feel like a girl

the day after a first date, carrying my cell phone with me, checking it constantly, sleeping with it on my nightstand...when's he going to call? when?

[Towlie]

[salonghorn70]

17. I'm Glad Someone Has A Sense Of Humor But You Forgot

:puke: everytime you hear some VP possibility other than your favorite.

18. Did that a while ago, check my journal

Denial - We will win on march 4th, well no... ah the next primary we will win big.... They are still in denial, thinking that somehow the superdelegates will hand it to her, when she's lost the contest. But, it's a much milder level of denial that it was back in January and February.

Anger - Well, there's plenty of that all around. This seems to be the stage that most of them in right now. That's why they are so negative. Can't wait until they are mostly out of this stage myself.

Bargaining - We saw that in the "offer" to let Obama be her VP. They tried. Once it's clearer to them that the game is over, I would expect more bargaining to occur. They can make things more difficult for the Dems and Obama. Let's hope it's more like bargaining and less like blackmail.

Depression - Maybe a depressed candidate makes crazy statements about landing in Kosovo to sniper fire...
When we get there, the air will just go out of the balloon. That's when Hillary will give up. Her suppporters will go quiet. This is bound to happen once the primaries are over. Her supporters may still feel they can't support Obama at this stage, but they will have stopped fighting him.

Acceptance - I am sure by the fall, most will have made it to this stage. They'll vote Democratic. Hillary's supporters are all good Democrats. They will help the party
