I know a lot of you on the Veepwatch are going to be disappointed by this, but

[Jackpine Radical]

after long and soul-searching contemplation, I have decided to withdraw my name from consideration.

1. sleep on it - you've got a few hours to change your mind. nt

[Hugin]

2. Hey, I was rooting for ya... But, if you think it's for the best.

Vetting problems? ;)

[mckara]

9. Or Veterinary Problems?

Isn't he from the state where men are men and sheep are nervous?

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

15. I'm afraid that thing about the owl will come out.

[Hugin]

16. Who?

You mean that thing?

:)

[Mabus]

3. Nooooooooooo!

Noooooooooooooo! Say it ain't so Jackpine. :cry:

[FrenchieCat]

4. Awe Man! :(

[lisa58]

5. That's it - I'm going to bed - I just don't care anymore.

[vaberella]

6. "any minute now" you'll change your mind. n/t

[kansasblue]

7. It's for the best: Obama / Radical '08 just didn't work on the ticket.

[rurallib]

8. Don't give up, man. McCain could call yet. There's another week yet.

[baldguy]

10. or Ron Paul...

[ErinBerin84]

11. I refuse to believe it. You could be trying to mislead us, because it really is you!

I think that this is a deliberate and elaborate plan by the Obama campaign to throw us off.

[blondeatlast]

12. Too late, reliable sources in the MSNBC newsroom, posting right here at DU,

have outed you.

Chuck Todd's quite the sport, isn't he?

[Island Blue]

13. Da-yhum!

That's 100 bucks I'll never get back.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I know. A lot of people lost money. I kinda feel like it was my fault.

But that nasty rumor is not true. I did not take a bribe from Karl Rove to drop out. It was actually Howard Dean That is totally false.

[vixengrl]

17. I put my own resume in--and it was a DUzy.

but alas, I was not called, and I still think I'd have been a pretty darn good VP. Ah well--one day a DU-er will see the White House, and not just on vacation, and from the street level. Probably. I guess.
