1. Mine was 11:21 PM 8/21/08 but I have no clue when it came

as I was asleep at that time. It was there around 5 this morning though. :shrug:

[City Lights]

2. Mine is 3:59:53 AM CDT.

My inbox shows it arrived at 4:38 AM CDT. I awoke for the text at 3:30 AM CDT.

3. So who answers the phone

at 3 AM in your house? An ironic parable about the need for every voter to stay vigilant while McCain lies wrapped in ambien clouds.

[City Lights]

8. LOL! Great point! nt

4. All the hype and the millions of us with no pocket communicator found out

just like those who did. When they woke up this morning. The Obama campaign figured out a way to treat people special and yet treat everyone the same.

I love it. This ticket has my vote!

[Lisa0825]

13. Good point!

I didn't think of it that way! LOL

16. Dear HereSince1628...

[TexasLady]

6. Anyone have ideas on why the odd time for the announcement?

We were all expecting it yesterday. I figured after Limblow and Hanjob finished their shows so they wouldn't be able to comment on it until Monday. Catch the evening news that way too. Middle of the night doesn't make sense, at least not to me.

[Recursion]

9. The batch was centered around 3am

get it? :)

[Clear Blue Sky]

10. Ahhh. Too subtle for me.

I would have tried to catch the evening news cycle, perhaps even Thursday evening.

7. Mine is 3:50 a.m. My email address starts with a "B," if he did it alphabetically. nt

[LSparkle]

11. I'm thrilled about the Biden pick but WHERE'S MY F***ING TEXT MESSAGE?

I never got one ... and I HAD received texts from
them after signing up, asking for my zip code for
future alerts, etc.

:mad:

[bigwillq]

20. "the text message, the text message"

:rofl:


It's ok. You'll survive.

[zanne]

14. Mine was 5:40.

I knew from an experience in the primary campaign that word would leak out well before I'd get any message in my email or text, so I wasn't holding my breath.

[olkaz]

15. mine was 2:35 Central

Which seems early.

[Madam Mossfern]

17. Mine was 9:18AM and it was in the morning paper

so much for knowing ahead of the time.
But we knew that.

[Pab Sungenis]

18. Mine arrived at 3:24 AM EDT

I sat up wide awake right after 3 and was unable to fall back asleep, so I heard it arrive.

[SoxFan]

21. Same here

Arrived at about 3:20 or so. I was getting up to use the bathroom when I heard the phone go off. Naturally, I was so keyed up that i couldn't get back to sleep for over an hour.

[DesertRat]

19. 2:38 am here. n/t

[Pirate Smile]

22. Mine was 2:38 am CT.

[VADem11]

23. 4:53 AM

Here on the East Coast. Luckily, the email/text message thing actually worked for some people I know who were sleeping when CNN announced.

[Clear Blue Sky]

25. Time stamp on mine was 855 AM.
