I can't quite work out whether this delay is a stroke of genius or an awful, hubris-born error.
You guys are great! No, seriously. The only reason I'm even watching this on the Atlas is because I've been waiting for a chance to do laundry since noon. I'm having trouble getting excited, and look how many freaking posts I have.
"Awful...error." "Obama blew it." How many permanent polling points did he just miss out on? Five? Ten? Has his campaign died because he misses one day of non-questioning coverage? No, sorry--because of a 24-hour delay, and potential slight smothering in the folds of the news cycle.
Meanwhile, America is mostly trying to decide between Burger King and McDonald's, and ready to set in for a weekend of pretending they already knew who Joe Biden/Evan Bayh/whoever was. Is it a screw-up relative to what could have been? Maybe. And I guess in that sense he "blew it," but let's not seriously pretend we'll be thinking about this in a month.
That said, I'm 70% sure it's Biden.
