So what if it is Biden? Are you really going to be disappointed because of the way you heard?

Frankly I think it's nothing short of miraculous that they kept it secret as long as they did. I've known organizations that leak information like water in a paper bag.

I think that the fact that we haven't gotten the text is being used by some people as an excuse to complain, people who only want to trash the candidates, usually because their favorite didn't get the nod.

5. MSNBC says we're going to be disappointed.

I don't even own a cell. :shrug:

And I was still the first to know (at least within 10 seconds) because I was on DU when CNN broke the news.

6. Not pissed but it wasn't done well

Kinda has the stink of secrecy that we've all been tired of the past 8 years.

7. No. I spent days obsessively following DU and MSM VP speculation...

There was virtually NO way I was going to hear by text first.
