So let me get this straight. The MSM announced Obama's VP for him?

[ProSense]

He wanted it that way?

Nothing on his site.

1. i've read here all day that this has all been masterful. nt.

[TwilightGardener]

2. Yeah, they finally just stepped all over the text message.

[ruggerson]

3. Uh, that's their job

[WA98296]

4. Kinda sucks, huh?

[RichGirl]

5. The funny thing is they keep talking about what a good job...

...he did keeping it a secret, and how trustworthy his staff is, blah, blah, blah. THEY DIDN'T KEEP IT A SECRET!

[TwilightZone]

6. Where did you get the idea that he wanted it that way?

For all we know, CNN could have fabricated the "sources". Or, the sources could be the candidates who weren't chosen.

Holding this in any way against Obama is simply ludicrous.

[ProSense]

10. Not holding it against Obama, but

if the leak got out, why not just announce it?

The entire episode seems odd.

[slinkerwink]

7. It was Evan Bayh who leaked it to CNN

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. He really managed that one good.

Fiasco.

9. i dont think its actually confirmed yet... kinda shady for the media to do something like this.

[RedShoes]

11. nope. that's their job. to get the scoop. nt

[goletian]

12. thats the job of the tabloids and such. theyre not reporting it as speculation.

[goodgd_yall]

13. I don't usually complain

about Obama's campaign, in fact I never have (except for his ads), but he should have announced when he found out the majority opinion was that it was going to be Biden.

[Bobbie Jo]

14. ...and they're STILL up talking about it at 12:20am CST

the "announcement" came in around midnight. The texts will go out first thing in the morning.

I'd say it was executed perfectly. :kick:

15. The MSM is tabloid trash. Don't believe a word they say.

If they say the sky is blue, go outside and check.
