So if this is really bothering you, have a friend text you that it's Biden

Gasp, stand frozen in shock for a moment, feel at one with the whole surprise texting thing, tell the dog "oh my god he picked Joe Biden" and then go to bed.

2. I can't believe people are bothered by this.

I had guessed that the media would report it first anyway. There are always leaks.

6. They're not... the one's complaining are upset that their choice didn't make the cut...

...and this is their excuse to complain.

4. lol

agreed.

The thing is, there is no way any campaign is going to keep one of the biggest political stories in the world leak proof.

IMHO, the text thing is a great gimmick, designed to gin up enormous interest (which it did) and to provide the campaign with a big GOTV weapon in November.

5. Maybe some people don't care about the text message.

I still find it odd that there is no official confirmation.

Maybe Obama approved the leak or is happy with the way the coverage played out. That's what I want to know.

UPDATE II: CNN’s King attributed his confirmation to two Democratic officials “who told us things they’re not supposed to tell us tonight”:
