I love it. Obama is brillant to announce the vp via text message. The suspense will continue until he announces. I hope he announces during the convention because it will not allow enough time for McCain to change his veep to counteract Obama.

I hope McCain picks someone good. He has Obama on the run and it would be a shame to screw up when the American people are finally figuring out what Obama is really about; just another tax and spend liberal.

Barack is doing a VP annoucement kind of like they vote for the American Idol. Then he wonders why he gets the tag of 'Celebrity Candidate'.

McCain "loves Lieberman. And he is on the [short]list because Lieberman has never embarrassed anyone, never misspoken.

...and Lord knows McCain needs all the help he can get!

Obama and Bayh offering a bill removing marriage penalties from the tax code strikes me as a bigger thing than his text messaging the name of his running mate.

But then that's just me. I would have preferred a weekend of examing how the candidate's responded to the situation between Russia and Georgia than coverage of an affair had by a former candidate.

Yeah, McCain pick Lieberman...that would be great! Anyone remember the terrible job Lieberman did in the debate with Cheney? Of course, given his history, maybe he was hoping that the Republicans would win.

I'm signed up on home and work computer! Can't wait. pulling for Kaine, but happy with decision no matter what!

I read recently that Mccain is running a half-off sale. Only 4 years instead of 8. That means his merchandise is not selling. Keep up the negative attacks, it just fires up the base, we give more money!

Lieberman is himself an embarrassment and should run for the Knesset because I doubt Connecticut will ever elect him for anything again. If Bush/Cheney pal Putin keeps the war going in Georgia I wouldn't be surprized to see Obama pick Biden...and soon. Jerry in Corpus never got a "liberal" helping of ice cream from his mommy and doesn't like the word so much he's skewed. Vote Obama! not for an angry, careless, immoral old man with his navy hat stapled to his head.

McCain's latest ad begins: "Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us times are tough." First, times are far from tough for John and Cindy; I understand they own nine homes. Barack and Michelle own one, like most of us.

Second, this is just one more of the Paris/Britney baseless ads; Obama has never met these women and has nothing to do with them. Obviously Mccain has nothing constructive to propose, so he stoops to this nonsense. Ask yourself: Is this guy presidential material?

The ad then pretends that Obama will raise taxesfor all, even though Obama has repeatedly stated he will CUT taxes for those earning less than $250,000, and will raise taxes only on those earning more than that.

McCain would continue the Bush policy of tax breaks for the wealthy; Obama would discontinue that.
