When do you think Obama will announce his choice for Vice President?

[JackBeck]

A discussion about the "pros" and "cons" over when the announcement is made would also be a great conversation. I've got some ideas, but I won't post them now, since I don't want my opinion to influence the poll results.

1. I'm praying during the convention!

That would be electric!

[JackBeck]

3. I was going to include that in the poll

But figured we can include that under the category "After the Olympics".

:-)

2. This is hardly profound, but he will announce his choice when he announces it,

and not before. I can wait.

[JackBeck]

4. Aww...come on!

Speculation is what pays the bills for the MSM.

I won't hold it against you...this time...

:pals:

7. He's a busy man.

Looks like quite a time crunch there, don't ya' think?

Wonder when the announcement may occur...

[Muttocracy]

8. he said something about a week in August right? going to Hawaii? nt

[davidinalameda]

6. I'd like to see him announce this week

it would make up for a less than great last week

[JackBeck]

9. Meh. I don't think last week was that bad.

Especially when Paris Hilton's mom, who generously contributes to McCain's campaign, didn't enjoy the way her daughter was treated by his campaign.

She knows people. His campaign should have been better in tune with where their funds are coming from.

If it doesn't happen this week, I'm curious to see how they manage to deliver the message during a time when the world's attention is focused on an international sporting event.

12. I did hear today.........

that he is going to be running campaign spots on the Olympic channel, NBC all throughout the Olympics !!! Now tell me this guy hasn't got his shit together!! It's brilliant !! No one except DU diehards will be watching much else 'til it's over.:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: My guess is, we will all be surprised as to when, and WHO !!!!

[Imagevision]

10. When it's to his advantage...

[JackBeck]

11. Look at the timeline...

Doesn't it elicit any curiosity?

[Blondiegrrl]

13. I'll bet he waits till the convention. n/t
