OFFICIAL Vice President leaks, tips, and speculation thread

[Keystone Phil]

I can't even find what time tomorrow's event in Springfield will begin.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Well this has been silly, hasn't it.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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.

Yes, but it could have been a precaution. I believe in 2004 the Kerry campaign had some signs and stickers produced with Vilsack's name and Gephardt's name on them.

The company said they've been printing Obama-***** bumper stickers for numerous possible picks for a while now....

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

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

That could be the reason for the wait.

What?

[Meeker]

Edwards is hispanic, right? Double-minority ticket?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Edwards is hispanic, right? Double-minority ticket?

Nope, white Southern guy.

[Meeker]

Well this makes slightly more sense now.

Still a big WTF if he's picked though.

[Mr. Morden]

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

It would be hilarious if Obama first called everyone who didn't get the job, and then when he called the guy he was choosing, that person said "Actually, thanks, but I think I'll decline."

[Flying Dog]

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.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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.

[Mr. Morden]

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

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

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

Do you think it'll be announced then?

[Erc]

You know who else lives in Delaware?

Tom Carper.  

(That's gotta be one of the least-mentioned Senators, at this point...)

[Mr. Morden]

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.
