The VP pick process was GENIUS!

Talk about dominating the headlines! Obama's campaign was genius for what they have done for the past week. I know some people on DU who are 'Bama supporters felt betrayed somehow because you didn't get the text before everyone knew the VP pick. Well tough shit. The point is that the Dems and most importantly Obama has been the lead in nearly every headline and front page for three days. NOTHING from McCain.

Couple the headline volume with the day they choose to release the name. Saturday early morning is perfect. Saturday is usually a day you don't see many if any political headlines. The day will be filled with headlines. Couple that with the timing of the Sunday morning talk shows. Every one of them will at least partially be devoted to discussing Biden and Obama. Third, it is a perfect segue-way into the Dem Convention starting Sunday night which will dominate the headlines through next Friday. Seamless.

I think it was perfect. It had everyone talking about it. Screw the text message. It was good work.
