OFFICIAL Vice President leaks, tips, and speculation thread

That plane is supposed to land at about 7:35pm Eastern btw.

Do you think it'll be announced then?

No idea.  Whether this is even an Obama plane being used to pick up Biden is of course pure speculation.  All we know is that this is the only flight in the air between Chicago and Delaware, and it's a charter flight.

If I wasted 4 hours for this, I will be very pissed off at Obama.

Well, I'm already pissed that I've wasted 3+ hours.

Biden is famous for taking the train.

My guess is, we find out officially in the next 25 minutes or they wait until tomorrow.  They've almost blow it at this point.

Does Obama even have to pick a running-mate?  He could just leave the choice up to the delegates in 1972-fashion, or let the electors handle it, after all .

(Which would guarantee that either Hillary or Feinstein ends up as our next VP if he wins...)

I didn't know about it until 2:30 when I heard it on Rush, and I was driving then.  I signed up on BO's website around 3:30

I had heard something from a friend last night, but didn't know what he was talking about.

ANY MINUTE NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

ANY MINUTE NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

That's what she said.

If the delay is due to him having to try to convince somebody to join him on the ticket (quite unlikely), I can only think of two people who could fit that description...Mark Warner and Hillary Clinton [and Al Gore I suppose, but let's not be silly].

In other news, it's now after 6:30, so this is when I stop paying attention.

It's not coming tonight, guys.

Did he officially say it'd be tonight?

Somebody should just get another plane up there and see what happens.  See if they're told not to get too close by the FAA or somebody.

No he didn't, but if we don't get anything before 10:30 PM EST then it will not come today..

No, he said by (or Bayh) tomorrow.  6:45 PM EDT or he misses the window.

Well if I'd have known that, I wouldn't have sat here for 3.5 hours.

8:00 and I'm done.  That leaves 30 minutes for the mystery man to leave the mystery plane.

I think he can wait until 8 pm EST, possibly later.

Ambinder notes that at this moment, Obama is going to dinner and then is planning on doing speech prep at home.

[Keystone Phil]

Obama is going to dinner and then is planning on doing speech prep at home.

I can totally see this guy having the text/e-mail sent out, having everyone's heart stop for a second and then flip out as he's quietly sitting in his living room with a giant smirk on his face. A smirk that would look a lot like this actually...

[Speed of Sound]

Why the text gimmick if its minutes before th TV announcement?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

So he's not on the airplane?  Or is he eating dinner on the airplane?

We'd know if he were on the airplane.  The idea is that the plane is picking up Biden, sans Obama, I suppose.

[War on Want]

I think its funny how everyone is wasting their time on something of such little importance. If it is somebody like Biden there isn't even a political future for them after Obama's term is done.

[Lunar]

Yeah, whoever is the pick has to be in Springfield by noon tomorrow.  Obama couldn't get to the airport secretly anyway.
