SUSPENSE
It is 2:18 PDST and the suspense is killing me.
I have been carrying my mobile around all day waiting for the Veep message.
I keep looking to see if the goddam thing might have a message and didn't ring my bell.
They are playing this to the hilt. I bet that they got tens of thousands of mobile phone numbers today including the OK to keep sending txt messages.
I think that the timing is also meant to head off any critique and attack prior to the evening news so that they can have it exclusively for themselves. Why give the McCains all afternoon to prepare a counter message when they can jump it right into the news hours or even right in the middle of them.
It is quite artful. Drawing a lot of attention.
Although it did occur to me that maybe they can't make it work; that they have been trying to send the message all day and the enter button won't work.
You don't think they are trying it off Barack's Blackberry?
What a mess that would be.
