(Yahoo)   The media notes that the media is in an orgiastic, jeans-creaming frenzy of speculation over Obama's VP pick. But this is because Obama's a genius, not because the media is biased   (news.yahoo.com) divider line

it's probably because obama is the candidate for one of the major two parties and he's going to announce by the end of the week.

Here's the funny thing - there's been so much speculation, so much discussion and so much rehashing of all of these possible candidates that no matter who Obama picks, it's going to be a let down.

Actually, I'm going to say it's because Obama's going to make his pick known in only a couple days, you farking conservative crybabies.

Not if he picks Gore or Sebelius. Then the shiat will get really interesting.

Maybe it's just a big deal because Obama's pick will be the only one of the two Vice Presidential candidates that actually has a chance of being Vice President.

I'm fascinated by the tension that has built up over this selection process and think that almost anyone but Evan Bayh is going to get thunderous applause

It is going to be Bayh.

Obama's campaign is really smart. They have the blogging and media communities jumping at every flick of the Obama campaign's collective pinky

If the choice does not cause a big bounce, then all it will show is that the blogging and media communities are not representative of voters. That should be interesting to see-- although with the choice being made so close to the convention, we won't really be able to measure the VP choice-bounce too easily.

The media has been creaming its pants over McCain's VP too.

The media just really wants them to pick a VP. "Pick a VP, Pick a VP, damn it, Pick a VP... we're hyped up on sugar!!!!!"

OK subby, you realize that government mostly does boring stuff like draft agriculture policy and oversee infrastructure issues like sewage maintenance. The jeans-creaming should stay in the bedroom, oh wait maybe you are a Republican. Fine pants creaming makes president Jesus mad, way mad. Wggargble.

Obama's loss in this election will be due to the picture depicting his deviant lifestyle. They arrive in mid october.

Well, that's it then. Pack it up, boys. Show's over.

If only Obama had picked his VP sooner. Alas.


The reason why all of the pundits are yammering on and on about Obama's VP pick? Because, a few days before the conventions, there is nothing else to talk about.

Just a guess.

I've noticed a weird thing. If the media is talking about McCain, they bring in somebody from McCain's campaign. If the media is talking about Obama, they bring in somebody from McCain's campaign. Whether anybody from Obama's campaign will be there is a crap shoot.

Just something I've noticed.

And McCain has a 25 point lead among guys who spend their days searching the internet for tentacle porn. He's still not going to see the Oval Office unless it's on a guided tour.

Hmm, maybe someone needs to define 'war hero'

To millions of red sate folks, here is one standing next to their mightiest tool of war.

The real question: is the biggest tool standing on the left or the right?

I fought with Natural Wood Podium in the first Iraq War. He saved the lives of everyone in our platoon. He is a true war hero.

Don't be silly. He's a war hero because he incompetently bravely crashed his plane got shot down, and getting 28 medals in 23 missions thanks to his pappy and grandpappy because he made Rambo look like a pussy, single handedly holding back the NVA with his unique piloting "abilities".

This is the kind of thinking that had me turn off the TV during the 100 butterfly. By the 3/4 mark, he was behind! I knew that since he was behind, he'd never win. So I just gave up, turned off the TV and walked away. I'm sure he gave up and accepted defeat, right? Right?

If McCain stays conservative, it's a blow out win. Some polls are "likely voters," some are "potential voters." Voting day is hardcore Conservatives and Republicans that will crawl over broken glass and 20 feet of snow to pull a lever. 18-25 yr old pot smokers can't hack it.

Funny how they always seem to matter when they favor Obama. I really don't care who wins the election but I find it farking funny how Obama supporters react to anything negative about him.
