CNN now reporting that
CNN now reporting that Senator Biden is selected. Did the text messages go out? If not, and if it is Biden, I was correct in voting "no."

The veep candidate will be
Indiana? You're kidding, right? Virginia? Pass the pipe.
Neither state has gone for a Democrat since 1964. Solid red for the last 10 cycles.

I think he's right, which is why I didn't think Biden made any sense. His own words could be used to attack Obama, and he doesn't come from a state or region that Obama needs any help winning. Biden for Sec.State maybe, but not veep.

the veep candidate will be

On this morning's NPR
On this morning's NPR Morning Edition one of their correspondents (I don't remember which as I doze a lot at that hour) said that she waited with baited breath for her text message.
I thought, "Harrumph, either she is rooting for our man or she's a mole."
I declined the invitation to sign up as well for the same reason. I made a couple of donations but I can't afford another one every time I open my email client.

Another question: how many
Another question: how many readers here have subscribed to get the news alert?
I haven't, because of the danger it may lead to more fund raising solicitations. Am I overly paranoid?

Can it keep the secret?
I wondering if any of the news networks are going to get a real leak (as opposed to speculation). Which one will be the first to report? Will they all be madly rushing to report it at once?
