BREAKING: Gloria Borger on CNN reports that Senator Obama's VP already knows
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 03:10 PM by RMP2008
Amazing that it still hasn't leaked then. She just reported this on the sit room. The VP knows, Senator O knows. We are the only ones that don't. awesome. Her source is once removed from the top hierachy, she reports.

40. I hope it's Sebellius
Especially since I bet on her in my office pool. I figure it's unlikely but since I'm the only one who picked her, I'll be better off if I end up being right than if I picked Biden and had to share the winnings with just about everyone.

12. That really isn't much of an insider hot tip is it?
Of course Obama and the VP pick know. It's not like Obama is going to announce and surprise the VP pick publically coast to coast.

39. Yeah, but kudos to Obama if he does pick Her - shows a lot of strength and character
It's also a winning ticket, for sure. And Obama has said he wants a VP who will be a foil, not a sycophant.... which definitely includes Hillary as a strong candidate.

I won't be happy.

17. Safe bet, if, as rumors suggest, the VP is going to get to IL by noon tomorrow
Maybe that's a clue it's Sibelius, because she could get there the quickest. Hell, much longer and CNN will be speculating that it's Michelle and Obama is so confident he's going to forgo Illinois' electoral votes.

Barack and Hillary would sweep 450-460 electoral votes. Maybe even 500.

Disinformation to build suspense.

I can't watch The Chris Matthews show that comes on Saturday night where I live mostly because of Gloria Borger and David Brooks. They always have nasty and untrue things to say about Obama and the Dems.
