Northwest Indiana Discussion

I'm sure Mrs Bayh will be glad when it's over. Today she got so fed up with the media circus outside her door she opened her front door, snapped a photo of the press corps photographing her, and then promptly shut the door! LOL

Blame McBush. If he could have just managed to remember how many homes he owned,Barack would have probably made the announcement already. How sad that he couldn't manage that simple of a task.

Artie- seriously, you are too much... step away from the 'puter and take a deep breath...

I can hardly wait for the official announcement so I can laugh at what a loser ticket it will be for the Dems, assuming Barry actually gets the nomination that is. LOL

Now this is getting weird even for Artie the Troll.

Although I have to agree that it is sad Obasama couldn't manage the simple task of making the announcement.

Typical. Blame someone else. It's the Democrat way.

It's a shame that you have no understanding how news cycles work. The minute Obama announces his VP, the McSame 'house' story goes to 2nd place. I think he just figures why step on a good story that has legs and is going to hurt Gramps. The VP anticipation will still be there tomorrow.

Well there's that plus the nightly news report and the weekend news cycle. Yes, you have a minor point about the announcement pushing down the Obama house controversy and the McCain investing success story but I'm sure he'd prefer to dominate the news for the weekend and have the talking heads sing his praises until Monday afternoon.

If my sources are correct the text announcement will happen before you wake.

Your absolutely correct- the McCain's 'house' story is a perfect reason why he's so unelectable and should not be president. ARTIE FOR VP!!!!

It's also a shame that you don't understand that stuff like McCain forgetting how many houses he owns,resonates with voters,especially when the economy is in such bad shape and people are losing their jobs and homes.

Sounds like desperate hopefulness. It's no secret to anyone that Presidents tend not to be paupers.

This angle will only sell well with poor blacks who were voting for him already.

OBAMA DRAMA: Prepares to name mate...
FLASH: Fri Aug 22 2008 17:52:03 ET /// KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reports a company in Kansas City, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material... MORE... Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. At least three sources close to the plant's operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.

I'm sure somebody is working on Cubs playoff tickets too, but anything can happen! LOL

Barry blew the most opportune time to make the text announcement. All the reporters were waiting breathlessly to turn over the nightly newscast to him and especially the nominee and he flat out blew it! I'm wondering if in truth he is having a last minute 2nd thought on his choice? That's regardless of what we get told about it of course.

I'm beginning to think all this hype about the text is just to obtain private cell numbers for electioneering. Either somebody is getting played here or the Senator is not as good at laying out a good plan as we are being led to think. And to think he used to be a community organizer. You'd think he'd at least know a little something about good timing.

It's a shame that you don't understand that the media would have you believe that everyone is up in arms about the McCain house gaffe, when in fact it is a minor blip that only registers with people when they hear Leno or Letterman joke about it. It's certainly not anything that will sway voters, if that's what you're hoping for. It's nothing more than a late-night punchline.

I'm sure he knows that. Otherwise that business with Tony the crook would have been enough for Barry to step down by now.
