Maybe the Best Kept Political Secret Ever
I must say that this VP pick by Obama has beena tremendous secret that has really never been leaked. Can you think of any others like it that built so many headlines and didn't get leaked? I can't imagine McSame's VP pick will get this much attention.

3. Unless it really is Biden. Then it was the most entertaining but not so hidden.

4. If the VP actually ends up being Biden, the secret wasn't well kept at all

6. What Secret?
Biden has been at the top of the list for at least the last 7-10 days.

And instead of getting the announcement first via text, we get it through the MSM.

Frankly a little disappointed.

7. There was similar anticipation in 2004
Many people thought it was Gephardt right up until Edwards was chosen. There was similar guessing games about Hillary and Clark and I don't remember who all. The only way it was leaked was the airplane guy and most people didn't believe him anyway.

8. Well, at least it is a good secret...not one like we're accustomed to
with this administration.

I can't recall an administration that was so secretive and sneaky. It will be so refreshing to have a change to an administration that is open and truthful. Well, with the exception of tonight when we can't get an answer. I'm sure glad I held onto my Biden for President sign from the primaries.

Go, Obama! Go, Joe!
