Fun With Local TV News Stations: Obama-Bayh Stickers?

22 Aug 2008 05:45 pm
From KMBC in Lexena:

After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa. The Obama campaign had said it would make the announcement by text message on Friday.

1. All this hype for...Bayh?

[madaboutharry]

Evan Bayh is so boring.

That is all I have to say.

[nsd]

2. I'm one of the (few) Bayh fans on DU, but I still think the CW about Biden is probably right.

And that's fine: Biden is an excellent choice.

3. Lol. I've got the original source pulled up on a different window...

It depressed me too much to post anything about it.

[Barack_America]

8. Look at these hideous things...

These can't be real, can they?

[redqueen]

11. Uh... no.

That's just awful... if it's real, then there's more to be pissed about than him choosing that snoozefest spineless Bayh.

[Renew Deal]

12. Those aren't real.

Obama's logo is missing.

[nsd]

16. Good point.

The sticker doesn't quite have the same look as the other Obama stuff.

[Renew Deal]

17. And Obama's campaign doesn't care much about bumper stickers.

I remember this from the primary. They are also too smart to let it leak out this way.

[MoJoWorkin]

14. No dice----they would have the obama logo on it.

[monomach]

21. No way. The "0" in "08" would be the obama symbol.

At least you'd think so. It'd look a helluva lot better.

[Eurobabe]

9. Red Herring

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. If I was Obama and this leak was true, I would be really mad. I bet there

would have been some sort of non-disclosure agreement.

[Eurobabe]

5. ...

[GarbagemanLB]

6. What a pathetic choice. If true...whatever. Go Obama.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

7. That'll be the second time campaign materials broke the story

Anyone remember the Kerry Edwards plane?

[flpoljunkie]

13. Stephanie Cutter said Kerry had signs made up for all those on the short list to throw folks off.

What about the flight from Midway to New Castle, Delaware Ambinder talks about...

A flight from Midway to New Castle, DE... to pick someone up? Who knows? No other flights from anywhere in and around Chicago to anywhere in and around Delaware... or vice versa. Just this charter.

[ErinBerin84]

10. let's hope that it's nothing.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Some printing press, somewhere, is right now printing up the stuff for

tomorrow's rally--that much we know for sure.

[Phoonzang]

18. I'm running out of this place quickly if that's announced... n/t

[WheelWalker]

19. I'm doubtful. There is no Obama logo.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Right--Obama's logo is an institution now. He's not going to change it.

[Muttocracy]

22. I like his flight speculation better:

23. Red-herring...

Obama's camp knows this is how news leaks out...I'd bet they have print shops all over printing different names....

[SurfingAtWork]

24. Drudge is running with this now, it is the big mega headline, which means that the MSM will also be

Running with it. So my feeling is that this will force the campaign's hand, whether or not it is true.
