I half think he's doing it to piss off the media. They are nuts with the VP stuff. There are actually other news stories they could be covering.

I think it is great he is doing this--It really shows how we the supporters, come first--

Wonder how many of the media are carrying around their cell phones....jumping every time their text message goes off... smile... They probably have that number with its own ring tone!!!

I wouldn't want to compete with the US Basketball team winning the gold against China. Also it will not let the people on TV focus too much on the pick before the convention. It should be a solid week of momentum. John McCain will have a tough time competing against NFL kick off on his acceptance night.

News said McCain will announce in 11 days (as of Aug 18). They usually nominate at the convention, and keep it a secret until then.

If McCain leaks his first, BO has time to adjust but risks appearing not confident. McCain is scrambling to keep afloat.

I heard something about Charlie Wrangle for VP too... :) (love that dude too).

Biden. Especially since Biden wrote an resolution regarding Georgia long ago. It's all about timing and current events, so I move my guess from Chuck Hagel to Biden. (glad I glanced at what I wrote before publishing...instead of Chuck, I typed CHICK! oopsie.)

I was bothered after reading this resolution though, he sides with Bush philosophy about Georgia. There's been a history of problems in Georgia and with it's leader. He over threw a former leader. Georgians turned on him, they protested to the point he promised he'd go away last Jan. then PRESTO a war with Russia. Georgia surged it's military from that point until now and his economy stinks. I think we've paid for it and this is a proxy war, it benefits Bush to push his agenda about spreading democracy and got signatures on dotted line for Missile Shield, then it spotlights Georgia as breaking away from the USSR. But Georgia is Republic of Georgia SSR, then won't allow Republic of South Ossetia to break away from Georgia. So, they stole the Cold War slippers and are now wearing them to dominate South Ossetia. He wants to bring them in the fold, yet shots them down to do it? Good grief, that my friend is hypocrisy and evil. Then Russia wants peace and that's a sign they're moving to democracy, then we're losing our privileges...we're toying with the slippers too. We've had a steady diet of lies, no oversight, hypocrisy, war and I want real change. I love Biden and think he'd be very good paired with BO (just don't like the resolution, but that's just me, it would appeal to most Americans because they truly fear Russia - I don't). At this point, we should fear that we don't have homeland security, so everyone basically...lol.

I signed up for the cell text message, but I forgot - left my cell phone in my pants pocket so laundry killed it. Argh! Anyone else wash their cell phone? PLEASE tell me you did, so I'm not all alone. sniff.

Have washed my cell phone, my kids ipods and a game boy... luckily they all worked after they went through the dryer... (am in a hurry and just throw it all in... oops...) The worse things to wash and then dry are color crayons and lipstick!!

Gretchen,

You are lucky. My cell phone was in a baggy soaking with my granddaugher's formula for a day. I was surprised it worked. But the 9 key won't work. And I have become addicted to texting.
  
GUESS THURS

I thought some cost more like ringtones, etc.
Most texting is not free. It is more for attachments such as pictures, just wondering?

I am banking on Bayh, but Biden would be cool,
Clinton would be Nirvana.
