2. The 3 am phone call!

Are you ready?

I think Biden.

7. That would mean Clinton

3 a.m. Phone Call, Clinton answers. LOL

3. Well shit, I will be on the way ...

or already in Springfield to see Obama by the time he announces.

4. Obviously, they thought Housegate deserved another 24 hour news cycle.

I don't blame them at all for the postponement. With the Springfield event happening at 1 PM Eastern, and the news probably leaking a few hours earlier, the Sunday talking heads shows will still have plenty of time to prepare their coverage.

But you can bet FAUX and the reich wing radio guys are pissed that they didn't have the privilege of ripping up the ticket today. I still say it was genius to keep them and Rove away from the story.

5. Officials?! They probably mean "Drudge" who probably announced it first. Link below.

6. If it's true

then the text message/email announcement is lame and pointless. By then, the official announcement in Springfield will be an hour or so away. They should at least send it out tonight.
