So Is There Any Time Frame Yet On Obama's VP Announcement?
Morning? Afternoon? Evening?

It's very hard on the "nerves" waiting. Maybe not the best thing for his supporters...but good to keep the "McCorporate Media" guessing? :shrug: Or, just old fashioned "trial baloons" that keep getting busted? Who knows...we wait and wait.

7. I wish he'd not announced until next week to keep McCain guessing longer.
"McCorporate Media" I like that.
