Poll question: On what day will Obama announce his VP pick?

1. Monday or Tuesday seems to make most sense
when people are more likely to be home and watching tv and news.

the first day should be for when we find out and it's announced. and you need another day when people are likely to be home to allow the VP candidate to do the morning shows.

5. I said During the Convention BECAUSE the Olympics don't end
until SUNDAY! If he hasn't done it by now, I think he's waiting until the convention. I even checked to see what events were scheduled for Sunday. Several Gymnastic events, Handball, Basketball, tranck & field.... I just can't imagine him trying to win the headlines from the last week of the Olympics!

It's NOT because I'm interested in them. I'm not. I haven't watched even ONE event, although I did clap for Phelps!

7. I vote Monday because the news tends to take time to get circulated.
I mean there's the political junkies like us who might know right away but it takes a few days before the less interested general population actually knows of it. So I think releasing the news towards the beginning of the week is best.
