Obama's campaign should conduct a full-scale investigation into who the leaker is
And that person should be blacklisted from ever working on a Democratic campaign again.

10. Failed discipline
Wihtout discipline, this campaign is lost.

My money is on a sore loser Bayh.

4. A blue ribbon witch hunt would be very appropriate at this point.
I'd also like to know who was stupid enough to think that they could hold out this long?

9. Actually, I think it's great political theater in action. Obama couldn't have bought this exposure
all positive, for weeks and days on end.

And the oopsie-leaked ending? So what? CNN gets a scope. They owe Obama one.

Who exactly is offended and why? I don't get it.

5. Yes - agree.
I wish Obama had taken that window of opportunity after notifying Bayh and Kaine, but before that hit the press, to text his message.

It was maybe naive to think that once it got outside the tight circle who has kept the lid on it, that it wouldn't be leaked.

7. Not everyone on the planet works for Obama! What "leak"?
ABC reported the Secret Service was going to Biden's residence, "according" to a source. Who controls the SS? Bushco!

8. No. There should have been no leak period. Obama looks foolish and lost his thunder.
It's not the rat (and we still don't know for sure), but if it was a leak, it is a bad way to start things off...fumbling after so much ballyhoo about discipline.

11. Boring.... For Iraq War, Bankruptcy bill, Clarence Thomas...
...been in Washington since Nixon. Not the choice for hopeful change, but that was just Axelrod's rerun of the Deval Patrick campaign. Figured that one out.

Pros: Unlikely he will upstage Obama, even with his many years of experience in Washington. Should bring Delaware into the fold.

13. There was no leak.
You can't hide a bunch of Secret Service cars.
