You know the announcement could have been delayed due to someone turning the VP slot down.

[RB TexLa]

Could be.

[polichick]

1. Holy moly - what a story THAT would be!

[Cleita]

2. Or some last minute negotiation going on with the DNC or DCCC or any

other organization who might disagree with his choice and might try to change his mind. It could be anything.

[HeresyLives]

3. Not supposed to be announced

till Saturday I heard. Not a change, the original plan. :shrug:

[iconicgnom]

4. The first vetting Q would be "are you willing to take the job, if asked?"

[RB TexLa]

5. That answer can change.

6. no way. Obama would not have said the VP has been choosen

if thhe person hadn't accepted

[NYC Liberal]

7. Obama said the person has been chosen. So...no.

[RB TexLa]

8. You think he would hold a press conference to say who had turned it down?

[NYC Liberal]

14. No, but the person has been chosen and he wouldn't say that if his choice

had turned it down.

9. Biden had said he doesn't want it ... maybe he's making a deal

He wanted Secretary of State ... Maybe he's bargaining for
an expanded role, taking on some of the responsibilities
normally undertaken by the SOS ????

[csziggy]

10. No, I think Obama never planned to make the announcement today

But the CNN was hilarious all day. This morning every 15 minutes - "Obama is going to announce his VP any moment." All morning they had themselves worked up into a lather.

11. This has become like an overripe tomato.

I was sure that we would hear the announcement after Limbaugh's and Hannity's radio shows were safely over.

[ben_meyers]

12. Why would Obama run his campaign around those two?

Are they never coming back? What would be the point of that.

[sharesunited]

17. Just a few days to bask in the love without their negative bullshit.

A brief moment flourishing before the poison dump begins.

[stillcool]

13. I don't know who decided..

that the announcement would come today. It wasn't the Obama campaign, so who?

[HeresyLives]

15. Saturday, folks, Saturday.

[TexasObserver]

16. No, it couldn't.
