PAPER: OBAMA MAY ANNOUNCE VP IN AM
Mon Aug 18 2008 17:01:04 ET

The NYT newsroom was buzzing late Monday afternoon after Obama-beat reporter Jeff Zeleny learned how the Dem hopeful has finalized his choice for a running-mate -- and set out an elaborate roll-out to announce his decision that will begin with an early morning e-mail to supporters, perhaps as early as Tuesday!

Developing... all night long

It's obvious that The Obama campaign realizes that Obama was beaten horribly Saturday night and that this is an attempt to recapture some momentum and stop the bleeding.

[eek.]

Obamas VP announced!

 

[roadreeler57]

It's down to one of these two...One will be VP & the other will be Attorney General for sure.

 

[ScottL]

Obamas VP announced!

eek is somewhere in this picture. Only slightly out of view.

what's wrong with this?

you see the coverage not going your way and you try to get back the momentum.

pretty smart campaigning....mccain did the same with floating around a vp pick when obama was overseas

Where did I say that there was something wrong with it??

 

[tocco05]

I am predicting he will pick either Cain from Virginia or Sebelius from Kansas.

 

[JoeContrarian]

At this point, only Hillary can save Obama.

But I doubt he's humble or shrewd enough to realize it.

 

[Seymour]

He'll win with Hillary.

 

[Willie99]

He's going to make a big mistake by taking Keane over Biden.

He actually has a tough choice; two outsiders with no experience or two northerners. Neither option is very attractive, maybe he'll go elsewhere.

I think two babies in the big bad woods is his worst option.

As for the timing of any announcement, I have no problem with that. They all try to manage the coverage. Politics 101

 

[TomKing]

Biden would be the hit man that would change the tide--but he isn't smart enought to do that. Of course, if he really wanted to win,he would pick Hillary, there is NO WAY he will do that--everyone else is soft or a loser.

 

[JoeContrarian]

Biden is a loose cannon waiting to go off at the least opportune moment.

 

[ScottL]

Cheap it's his family, and he has the right to post pics from their album. Leave him alone!

Oh, she knows is, but she doesn't want Obama to win.

There is no panic mode. This was going to be the VP announcement week all along. There really is not other time.

Uh huh...

Sending Andrea Mitchell to provide cover for the campaign is a sure sign.

McCain bested Obama...so he cheated...:lol: :missingte
