Sittin' here with a smile on my face. I smell a surprise.

[NRaleighLiberal]

I am watching all of these premature posts, based on the very MSM info that we've all come to distrust.

Hang in there. No texts received yet. Biden just looks way too easy an answer, and I don't think, after all of this, they are done pulling the final trick.

Isn't this great!

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. That's what I am hoping too.

[WA98296]

2. Please be right, I just don't want to hear it from the press.

[New Earth]

3. I hope you're right

and I hope it's a good surprise.

[Maven]

4. Me too.

CNN is trying too hard to scoop everyone else and pull out an answer, while leaving themselves enough wiggle room in case they're wrong.

But I would be happy with Biden if he were the choice.

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I should grab that mountain dew so I can stay up!

[blondeatlast]

6. Biden would love to punk the m$m. I'm betting it isn't him--but that he's LOVING this! nt

[KingFlorez]

7. Someone completely unexpected is what I'm hoping for

I don't think there would be all this build up if the choice was obvious.

[redqueen]

8. It is... there are already so many threads being posted.

Imagine how many more threads will be started once we know who it is.

[jillan]

9. Then explain the secret service at his house.

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. Misdirection play?!

[redqueen]

12. Where are they?

There are a few bored-looking reporters standing around...

[Malikshah]

16. Gotta picture? Or is Jake "Smugboy" Tapper's word gold?

....

[sharesunited]

19. Who has the authority to dispatch the Secret Service. What is the penalty for hoaxing them??

[Cronus Protagonist]

31. Consider the source of this "information"

Seen any proof?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. Biden is at 90% on InTrade, so you can make a killing betting against him

[Milo_Bloom]

13. For Obama's sake, I hope you are right...

Since everyone basically knew Biden for the last week or so, this text will be a huge flop if it is just the info everyone already knows.

[RichGirl]

14. What does the surprise smell like?

Old Spice or Chanel #5 ?

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. Actually, smelling a bit like peanut butter and pretzels...what I am snacking on to stay awake! NT

[NYC_SKP]

If you're John McCain, it smells like....

..."Oops, I crapped my pants."

[Lex]

35. lol

:rofl:

[Sparkly]

15. It is exciting!!

If it's a surprise, it'll be a media "oops" *almost* as big as election night 2000... (I said "almost" -- nothing can beat that.)

[Radical Activist]

17. I hope its all wrong.

What a horrible mistake it would be. He will lose the ticket votes.

[spaceturkey]

20. I

I would love it if its actually Clark

[RoyGBiv]

21. The MSM we've come to distrust ...

An interesting point that means more than anything involving the VP pick.

I don't think people in general, even those who complain about it, really "distrust" the MSM. The MSM is parroted so frequently here by people who will elsewhere complain about it, it's hard to take the complaints seriously.

Oh, but I'm different ... I got my info from a blog or my sister's uncle's first cousin's neighbor's mailman's best friend or ... (which got its info from the MSM).

This is all quite entertaining, actually. Sad, but entertaining.

[NRaleighLiberal]

22. Yup. I would pop some popcorn if I had any...hence the pretzels!

[gblady]

32. I just had a bowl....

of popcorn drizzled with olive oil, garlic powder and grated romano cheese...
sooooooooo good.

[Life Long Dem]

23. They notice the attention to Biden, and they start pushing at Biden's house

The police came one time and left. CNN had a camera on Biden's house and you can see all the reporters gathered around. They reminded me of paparazzi's

[Joe the Revelator]

24. Unless the VP was someone of Gore's stature, why would Biden allow himself to be

the patsy?

[Beregond2]

28. The campaign has done nothing to push the Biden meme.

So how is he being made a patsy of? And if he is being used as a decoy, I'm sure it is with his consent. It sounds like something he would enjoy tremedously!

[goodgd_yall]

25. My friend just said she has a weird feeling it'll be Gore n/t

[Beregond2]

26. Me too.

And I think Biden is in on it and cackling with glee.

[apocalypsehow]

27. I smell one, too. I'm keeping my NERVOUS NELLIE impulses well in hand and under control, however.

Can't wait for that text message!

[elfin]

29. Biggest clue -- Joe DID NOT talk to the press today

And we all know how he loves to talk.

He (and his wife and handlers) were petrified he would say something bordering on crazy to blow it.

[tandem5]

30. I hope you're right because this "change" is shaping up to be very familiar. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

33. Great minds...

...think it's Clark!
:spank:

[windbreeze]

34. IF it ends up being Clark....

I guarantee you will hear me yelling all the way to Springfield, Illinois, from the great PNW....gar n teed....wb

[WinkyDink]

36. WHAT are you smoking??

[book_worm]

37. So you still think this is an elaborate trick?
