Can you imagine if this shit went on for all of last week? They sure know what they are doing.

1. Yep. Plus a week of free press for not announcing.
They are very good at controlling the news cycles.

7. The M$M is a bigger, nastier opponent than mccain.
I like to call the two of them his opponent: McM$M.

4. Clinton and all her she cats are crazed.
And sadly, our formerly beloved but now off his rocker Prez is too.

5. Yep, it's all about controlling the headlines.
1. Let the McSame houses gaffe headlines run as long as possible.

2. Announce Biden, control the headlines for the weekend.

3. Control the headlines all week during the convention.

4. Ride the post-convention, post-Biden bounce for as long as possible.

5. Come up with more attacks on McSame and his veep to try to control the headlines during the rethug convention.

6. Yeah, the Obama camp is definitely smarter than I was since I just crazily assumed the Clintons
would actually support the party and not take actions to puff up their own egos.

10. 100% disagree! Did you watch Biden's speech on Saturday??
Had the announce been Thursday afternoon, his sppech would have dominated the news!!!
Dominated drive time radio, domintated Thursday night TV.

The Count hit at him would not have come until Friday...Friday is the news that gets buried.

Joe gave a great speech...no one saw it.
