OFFICIAL Vice President leaks, tips, and speculation thread

[Eraserhead]

Barry once again reiterates the qualities he is looking for in a running mate at a townhall rally in North Carolina, which sounds to me that he has already made his decision.

His running mate will "shares his passion", has "integrity", who is in politics "for the right reasons".

Reading between the lines, I would say Tim Kaine.   Hilarious.

There's nobody he could pick that you wouldn't find "hilarious", so who cares?

[Eraserhead]

Not Kaine. Please.

It'd be a better choice than Bayh, that's for sure.

[Eraserhead]

Why not Jack Reed instead of Biden?

Oh well, as long as it isn't Bayh.

[Eraserhead]

Wow, I don't think anyone can disagree with the suggestion that Obama's camp is doing a great job with this unveil.  About five hundred misleading hints in one day alone.  Bravo.

If confusing the press and people like us is what they're going for, I agree. It flips from Bayh to Biden to Kaine every 15 minutes.

Now, it would be truly hilarious if it was somebody outside of those three.

[Eraserhead]

He's still unsure? Maybe we really won't know until Saturday.

Sam Nunn's stock falling
Ben Smith on Politico


The former Georgia senator said recently that he hadn't been vetted, and now his spokeswoman says he's going to be out of the country through Monday.

He had "stock"?

[Eraserhead]

There has to be some connection between the polar bears and Evan Bayh's gym bag.  If we can figure out what it is, we'll know who Obama has chosen as his running mate.

It's clearly Mike Gravel, judging from those two pieces of elements.

Don't get my hopes up like that!

[Eraserhead]

William Kristol thinks it could be Jack Reed, not that that really means anything.

I don't know if were going to get anything today anymore guys.

This sucks! I have work all weekend. I wanted it today.

[Eraserhead]

It would possibly be me, if I didn't have work.

I'm gonna bet on Lunar.

Last second e-prayer to the Obama Campaign....

Dear Obama,

I dont ask for much, but I really need this one. Please, Obama, please, dont pick Biden. He makes me so no fired up.

PS: I guess that leaves you with this guy.....


Can I get a Whoop Whoop?

Speed, I thought you were a leftist! That guy in your picture is unacceptable.

[Eraserhead]

Man, Gore as VP would be made of awesome. Too bad that it's never gonna happen again. Ever.

[Eraserhead]

It seems like we are down to two.

[Eraserhead]

Well... the text pretty much has to come today. Unless they are literally going to wait until the last second on Saturday.

[Eraserhead]

Yea, it's got to come within the next few hours.

I wonder if the Earth's rotation will be thrown off by the thousands of people desperately reaching for their phones simultaneously.

That'd be nice but I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't think there is any way they send it before 10 AM eastern time.

[Eraserhead]

I might be a little cheezed off if they wake me up before 9:30 am tomorrow.  I'll forgive them though if it's Bayh.

They won't.  They don't want to annoy people like that.

By the way, are you supporting Obama?

[Eraserhead]

Seriously though, Chet Edwards? Why would Obama seriously even consider someone with the last name "Edwards"? You don't really want to confuse the masses on this one.

[Eraserhead]

Uggh. I hope this is a sick joke.

[Eraserhead]

I'm still about 80% sure that it's gonna be Biden.

[Eraserhead]

So what time do you people think the announcement will come?

I have to be at work in 82 minutes!

[Eraserhead]

Next Wednesday? LOL
