OFFICIAL Vice President leaks, tips, and speculation thread

this is part of an ego trip?

Of course it is. Dragged it out as long as possible...big speech not at convention but that Invesco Field...he thinks he is the all mighty. He's losing states Hillary could have been competitive in by 30 pts! He isn't all that mighty...and next week is the last time we get to see "teleprompter Obama".

I'm glad to see you were just listening to Hannity because those were all of his talking points.

I don't listen to that program.

That's a shame.

Yes, it's a shame he wants to keep his brain unwarped.

So you at least admit that Naso has an unwarped brain.

There are other ways ones' brain can be warped, I'm afraid.

He does listen to Rush.

Good man.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

what if:  the one he chose may have had a change of heart and declined the offer?

That could be the reason for the wait.

B**ch

What?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Ugh, come on, Obama! I'll be pissed if I spent my few precious hours of freedom waiting for Obama's VP selection and it doesn't come.

I've now wasted a good 3 hours.

If it's Biden, I hope he doesn't wait until the plane lands to send out the announcement.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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.

You wont be the only one, I assure you.

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

Ive spent 8........-_-

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

Heard it on Rush? *shivers*

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

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

ANY MINUTE NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

That's what she said.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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 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.

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

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

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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.

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

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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.

It's like a soap opera - like Passions!

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I just happened to have lunch with someone who works for CBS Radio today and she said the network bigwigs told them that there was a good chance it wouldn't come until tomorrow morning.

You couldn't tell us that 4 freaking hours ago!
