I heard through the grapevine that the VP candidate won't be announced until tomorrow morning

[Ava]

I just heard it through the grapevine(a politician) that the VP candidate won't be announced today. Sadly, I just talked to someone who is in close with the Obama campaign that says the announcement won't come until tomorrow morning. They could be wrong(and I hope they are), but I doubt they're wrong. We'll see!

Until then, who do you think will be the VP candidate and who would you most like to see as the VP candidate?

[IndianaJones]

1. Chet Edwards! nt.

[Ava]

6. who you want or who you think it'll be?

or both :hi:

[musicblind]

45. That's not who she wants

I'll tell you that much.

[grasswire]

2. that was the prediction earlier in the week...

...because of the Olympics, and because nobody wants to break good news on a Friday.

[Ava]

7. yeah, i wish it would be announed today though!

i can't stand the wait! however it is will get my support of course, but i'm antsy!

[bidenista]

3. FOR £$%&^'S SAKE

I am getting beyond the "eager anticipation" stage, and edging into the "fear and loathing" stage.

RELEASE THE NAME ALREADY!

[Ava]

10. same here

the suspense is killing me!

[LaurenG]

4. It will be Biden or Clinton

but whomever it is, I'll be fine.

[JerseygirlCT]

5. Biden and Biden nt

[Renew Deal]

8. It would be tough to get to Illinois on such short notice.

But not impossible.

[Ava]

15. i'm sure the VP knows he's it

but has been instructed to not say anything until tomorrow morning

[Virginia Dare]

9. Oh come the fuck on!...

what the hell?...just tell us WHO IT IS!!!!!

[Ava]

16. i know! i wish he had been told who it was

then i'd be happy ;)

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

17. OK. It's Bill Richardson

[Virginia Dare]

35. Unless your name is Barack Obama I don't want to hear it!

I ain't playin, you understand me mister?

[hisownpetard]

11. Oh, damn. Now I don't know what to do - go run my errands and take the dogs for walk,

or sit here like an impatient idiot, constantly refreshing the "Latest" threads...

What do you think, Ava?

[Ava]

18. i think you ought to carry on and when you get back if nothing is announced

then it'll be tomorrow morning :hi:

[hisownpetard]

27. Ay ay ay. Right now it feels like the mouse will have to be pried from my cold

dead hand...but I'll try to pull myself away and tend to my normal activites of daily living.

Get ready, DU - with my luck, the announcement will come the minute I leave the house.

Consider it my gift to all of you!:grouphug: :hi:

[hellbound-liberal]

12. I had a bad feeling this morning when HuffPo said that McCain picked Mittens

I am afraid that McCain could take some of the wind out of Obama's sails if he announced his pick first. With that being said, I think it will be Biden and I am still holding our for Wes.

[Ava]

19. clark is who i'd like to see

said source also said that it was hinted that none of the people on the "short list" were it :hi:

[hellbound-liberal]

29. Hey Ava, what do you think about McCain announcing early to get a jump on Barack?

[Ava]

37. i don't think he will

and if he did i think it would backfire.

[Virginia Dare]

36. That's what I want to hear!...

thanks for the news!...:yourock:

[trashcanistanista]

13. ditto

Biden and Biden.

[Ava]

22. clark and clark for me

but whoever it is i'll support the ticket of course :hi:

[cynatnite]

14. I don't think it'll be today either n/t

[DFW]

20. Smart move, IMHO

Let the McCain house(s) thing linger on for a day or two.
The identity of Obama's VP won't be changed by that, and the
mileage we are getting out of the McCain Real Estate gaffe
is priceless. Let Republican voters struggling with their
mortgages have one more day to reconsider if this is REALLY
their guy.

[Ava]

23. yup, i agree

but i won't deny that the wait is killing me ;)

[carlotta]

21. makes sense that it'll be tomorrow

Don't you normally have a photo-op of the team together when the V.P. is announced? Unless they've flown Biden, or whomever, out sub rosa to Obama territory, I think the announcement will coincide with the appearance in Springfield.

[Ava]

25. i think it is pretty hilarious how cnn is "staking out" the homes of those on the "short list"

if it isn't someone on the short list it'll make me giggle at them ;)

[jobycom]

24. He's just Biden his time, so let's hope his pick is right for Clint(ch)on it.

We all know he Kaine do it, but Jesus H Clark, does he have to Bayh so mean about it?

[Ava]

26. lol!

:rofl:

[jobycom]

31. Thank ya, thank ya. I'll take a bow for that one, because I actually worked on it!

:rofl:

[IEatRepublicans]

28. He was never going to announce it on a Friday.. Come on yall

It'll come on Monday during the convention.. Look at all of you drooling for the pick. If he waits until Monday he's guaranteed big time ratings.

[jobycom]

32. The Dark Knight was released on a Friday, and it did alright!

:P

[Ava]

38. he'll announce it tomorrow. he is appearing with his VP at a rally tomorrow

that has already been announced

[RebelOne]

30. I am sure it will be tomorrow too, when he makes his speech. n/t

[jobycom]

33. Problem is, if he waits until tomorrow, the press is going to know before the speech

because of who makes the travel arrangements. So if he doesn't announce today, and he does plan on appearing with them tomorrow in Springfield, he'll lose the chance to release it himself.

[Ava]

42. he'll announce it before the speech

and whoever the VP is, most likely is already in Springfield ;)

[KamaAina]

48. The VP is already in Springfield?

[Ava]

49. they didn't say

but i would guess they are

[BlueIdaho]

34. Yes - Breaking

"A nearly ripe bunch of concord grapes located on a country road just outside of Springfield seem to have inadvertently let the cat out of the bag. A seedless varietal grape bunch growing on a nearby vine noted with some disgust- "well thats just the pits... looks like we'll have to wait another day""

[Ava]

40. lol!

:rofl:

[tekisui]

39. It'll leak before then, too many people know now.

[carlotta]

41. Although.....

Someone reported in another thread that Obama is now staying at a Chicago hotel. Since he has a house in Chicago, why would he be staying in a hotel unless it's to meet with his V.P.?

[Ava]

43. i heard it was for the practice area

but i might be mistaken :hi:

[Eurobabe]

44. Biden.

Wow, then on that VEEP thread pool, I was not too far off the mark, I said tomorrow 3pm EST. (That is 2pm in IL)

[Ava]

46. i was told "the call is going out tomorrow morning"

so we'll see :hi:

[redqueen]

53. Aw man!

I'm probably going to be taking a test when it's announced, and I'll have to have my cell turned off and be away from DU!

:cry:

:P


I don't care too much about missing it really... I'm just loving the M$M getting punked! :7
:bounce:

[Ava]

55. same here!

:hi:

[Barack_America]

47. Oh COME ON! The MSM isn't even talking about the McHouses gaffe anymore!

:grr:

[redqueen]

52. Oh yes they are!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6702204&mesg_id=6702204

:rofl:

[redqueen]

50. Don't know / Tim Kaine!

I'm so glad it's gonna be tomorrow... I love love LOVE the fact that Obama's dominated the news cycle today, and a lot of the past few days... watching the M$M fall all over themselves about this has been so amusing! :D

[democrattotheend]

51. Argh, he's killing me! But that's probably smart.

Let HouseGate play out for another day.

[Ava]

56. yup, and keep people thinking about obama too

:hi:

[mmonk]

54. Thanks Ava. I think it will be Biden.
