Well it's a bloody mary morning ...HMMM: “Type http://www.obamanelson.com into your browser and see what happens.” Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska? Willie Nelson of Austin? Hair-metal twins Nelson? Or maybe something semi-logical, like Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida?

[re=66589]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: holy cow, that would be a left-field pick. Very interesting. He is liberalish, whereas Ben Nelson is conservative and pro-life (and Nebraska not that big a prize).

anabellum August 22, 2008 at 2:37 pm

from the Orlando Sentinel a few days ago….”One loyal reader noted that the website http://www.ObamaNelson.com actually takes you directly to the Obama campaign website — whereas adding the names of other rumored VP contenders to Obama’s name (ObamaRichardson, ObamaBiden, etc.) takes you to squatter sites.

The Obama campaign isn’t talking — about the site or any aspect of the running-mate selection process — but said I wasn’t the first to ask about it. And the man to whom the ObamaNelson site is registered told the Delaware News Journal that he was simply hoping to make some money out of it and doesn’t work for any campaign or party.”

Hmmm… I just looked into this Ben Nelson fellow and he seems to fit the parts of Obama’s description. Nelson was able to cut Nebraska’s spending, balance the budget, and leave the governorship with a huge surplus. Also, he’s insanely popular in his state, he’s been both a senator and a governor.

AND he beat out the lady governor during his first run, which Hopey’s got to relate to.

Doglessliberal August 22, 2008 at 2:44 pm

[re=66642]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: but it would get him FL, and Nelson is pretty liberal (whatever that means these days), thus he could calm down some of those who think Barry is a traitor for taking compromise positions to get things done.

There is no rush, except for the MSM to fill their quotas. The longer he waits the more attention he’ll get anyway through the weekend, the less time the RNC has to prep a smear campaign before the Dem convention. In fact, the more attention he’ll get to talk about the Houses that Jack Built & anything else he wants to highlight. At this point, why not wait? Everyone is eating out of his hand. Hopey is the man and we’re not!

[re=66754]tunamelt[/re]: That would be the best thing ever. Also, since it seems like the whole world is starting to believe that Wonkette posts actual information, it would be timely. I hate to think of what will happen once the editors quit eating whiskey for breakfast and end up covering REAL news, but, thems the breaks, I guess.

Okay, the 12 o’clock PST lunch hour is now unwinding. I think that means no veep announcement until at least 6 o’clock EST today or tomorrow mid-day at the latest.

God this week’s news is fucking strange. I’m waiting patiently to see if my BFF Barry texts me who he has a crush on and reading innumerable stories about some crotchety old guy who forgot where he lives.

But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us.

[re=66758]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Yep — Hopey attended McCain’s private brainstorming meeting and the next day Obama decided to support the official Democratic bill. To give McCain more credit than he probably deserves, he was probably stung by the insinuation that going outside official Senate channels was just a delaying tactic. But that would be reading a lot into the subtext. I think it’s just McCain being his normal bitchy self.

Credit where credit is due, I got the ref from this Timothy Noah piece in Slate yesterday.

Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.

Darehead: well of course The Chosen One makes the sun come up. But I expect a lot more of him– like announcing his VP choice BEFORE they’re supposed to campaign together tomorrow.

I may just drive to Wherever, IL for his speech tomorrow. Although it would be a day’s drive and I can’t afford the gas. Wait . . . does that mean that McCain is keeping me from my beloved? That’s it! Years ago McCain and Dubya started to orchestrate this whole gas price thing not to get richer (that part was just a bonus) but to prevent all of america from seeing and touching Barry. Aha! It all makes sense now.

Oscar Folsom Cleveland August 22, 2008 at 6:07 pm

Associated Press is reporting that Texas “Chet” Edwards is a “dark horse” candidate. Is this racism? Can we now retire that tired old nag of an outworn phrase, consign it to a compassionate demise?

I think neither of the Edwards are in the running, so to speak. Rather, I think Barry is really going to surprise us with someone who will, in his words, fight him tooth and nail on every goddamn issue, questioning Barry’s judgment, patriotism, memory, fiduciary morals and even his gender identification, day after endless dayz.

Yes, my friends, I speak of that great Merkin, a stout New Englander and Republican, and vociferous opponent of the spread of slavery, Hannibal Hamlin.

If he was good enough for POTUS Lincoln the First, then why not Hopey POUTUS Secondus Effetus Arugula?!
