Has anyone else been incredibly excited at every incoming text message<\/a> they’ve gotten over the past 48 hours?<\/p>\n

I keep glancing down expecting a “sorry 2 keep u waitng<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> – my vp<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> is biden<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em>“, even when the aforementioned text comes in at 11 pm.<\/p>\n

Soon…soon…<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/em><\/strong> According to the CNN ticker<\/a>, Bayh<\/span><\/span><\/span>, Clinton and Kaine are out, while there is “activity” at the Bidens<\/span><\/span><\/span>. So all signs are pointing to Joe, with the text coming tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n

I must say, while Sebelius<\/span><\/span><\/span> had been my choice, I think Biden<\/span><\/span><\/span> would make a very clean, articulate, bright Vice Presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

JOMENTUM<\/span><\/span> UPDATE:<\/em><\/strong> Biden<\/span><\/span> it is. Not a bad pick, although the 3 a.m. announcement was a bit odd. If done on Thursday or Friday afternoon, the text messages\/e-mails could have generated some word of mouth buzz and gotten evening news and Saturday newspaper coverage.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping they use Biden<\/span><\/span> as the attack dog, because I think the Obama<\/span><\/span> campaign has been a bit too cautious so far, and has allowed McCain to define the agenda so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
