Um. So. WHEN is he going to announce his VP pick?

[Erin Elizabeth]

Because I'm either going to need to take a DU break between now and then, hide a hell of a lot more threads, or go back to putting people on ignore like back in the bad old days of the primary.

I'm reading these crazy _____________ threads here that are word for word just like other pro-___________ propaganda I'm finding on other sites. It's pretty obvious DU and many other sites are simply being bombed by this stuff, which brings me back to my original question: when he announces, all this ridiculous speculation about She Whom I Refuse To Name will end and maybe then things will get better.

Does anyone have any idea when that will be? I know Olbermann tonight said Saturday at the latest.

1. things will definitely get better if you take a break john boy. nt.

4. I'm not normally one to buy into orchestrated efforts,

but I read in another thread that there has been 121 threads on Hillary as VP TODAY. And when I started seeing some that were exactly like on other sites, I knew.

Ridiculous.

7. Ahh, I didn't realize that. nt

[gateley]

11. That's disturbing. nt

5. That's right, since he will be appearing with the VP in IL on Saturday --

my question is, what TIME Saturday? Will we have to wait the entire day?

I'm hoping he announces Friday at the latest. I know it's a slow news day, but this would be big news and it would continue in to Saturday for the grand unveiling.

I honestly thought it was going to be today. Sigh.

6. I was thinking tomorrow for some reason, but now I doubt it.

13. It wont be before his last event tomorrow. He has two town halls in VA - the last one is at

4:30.

He wont do anything before those are over. After that, I'd guess they could go at any time - which makes it Thursday night through Saturday.

14. ...

:argh:

8. I think most people expect the fabled text message to arrive Friday afternoon.

The first joint appearance is then Saturday in Springfield.

Of course, this conventional wisdom is based on ambiguous comments from unnamed sources, so it might be bunk.

[DFLforever]

9. I bet we hear tomorrow.

The roll out is Saturday. But to avoid having the possibilities stalked, they'll announce it earlier. Friday at the latest.

10. Wow, you really are a rabid Hillary hater, aren't you? Your choice won and you're acting similarly

to the PUMAs with your divisive, anti-unity ways.

[IndianaJones]

12. thats a fairly accurate characterization. nt.

[Erin Elizabeth]

15. What the heck are PUMAs?

I'm not still living in the primaries. You seem to be. I'd like Obama to announce his VP pick so that all this Hillary/primaries stuff that's being intentionally re-hashed around here will STOP.
