The Associated Press: Obama supporters to get VP announcement via text: "WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is close to choosing a running mate, and the first person to find out could be you.
In an e-mail to supporters, Obama's campaign manager said voters can sign up to receive an e-mail or a text message 'the moment' he makes his decision.
'No other campaign has done this before,' campaign manager David Plouffe said in the e-mail. 'You can be part of this important moment...'"
Veep has never been much of a job but at least when you got nominated, there was some fanfare and a press conference or two and you got to make a little speech. But not this time. What better way to further dim the faint light of the Vice-Presidential candle than to announce the selection via spam. Is Obama so afraid that his choice might shine a bit that he has to go to this extraordinary length to disrespect his own choice? Does this, in fact, mean that he is going to pick a woman and this is just his way of putting her in her place from the get-go?
