BREAKING inside info on Obama's VP pick
Edited on Fri May-23-08 01:19 PM by underpants
I have NOT received a call yet.

Repeat NOT received a call.

Likewise no one has denied (officially or otherwise) that I am NOT on the short list


How about yourself? Whats your status?

This may be a very long weekend for me. Just like the NFL draft weekend. :grr::mad:

1. I have been approached by both camps.
I'm weighing my options. Hope/new politics vs. more of the same. It's a tough call.

54. Someone named Heather just called me.
Edited on Fri May-23-08 03:43 PM by femmedem
I wasn't home, but the message on the machine said she was calling about my credit card. There was nothing wrong with my account, she said. After that I hung up. I hope I didn't blow it. :cry:

Actually I'm just kicking this thread because one more R and it gets onto Greatest. And we could all use the laugh.

10. My cats are up to something. Maybe one of them is being considered.
Probably Dora, the mouthy little shitstarter, but her catnip habit could be a problem in the square states.

11. I'm looking more toward being the Ambassador of
England or France. I *did* donate $50.00 to Obama's campaign, so I'm expecting a BIG return for my lobbying efforts. If I can't have either of those Ambassador assignments, I would take the National Security Advisor's role. If Condi could do it, so can I. She made it look so easy. :D

28. I was asked to be the VP by the Clinton campaign in December. I refused.
That's when it became very clear to me that she didn't know how to pick qualified people.

39. I have been contacted by the Illuminati, and asked...
to become President by Acclamation. After that I'll pick my VP, and, I assure you, the Poster Known as Underpants is on the list. However, I have determined that being President would severely cut into my paragliding time, so I'm probably not going to do it.

The rest of you are on your own.

46. My 2-lb. dwarf rabbit Yogi is on the really short list. He's got a lot in common with Obama!
He's black and white! He's got unity in his DNA! He's got big ears! He's all about change! (Changing the litterbox, anyway.) My only worry is that he'll be perceived as an elitist latte-drinking Prius-driving ultra-liberal effete Muslim-appeaser because I had him neutered.
