OBAMA RELOADED: Tipster “Joseph S.” writes: “Obama’s Downloads site is being updated! If you go to his site and click Media, then Downloads, it goes to Downloads v2. However, there is no page there. Something’s happening.” [WHAT IS HAPPENING?]

“Gov. Romney, how many wives do you have?”
“Um, my staff will get back to you on that.”
…it has BEGUN!!!
Hide your children! Aieee! Better hope you’re a sheep and not a goat…
When this is over, we’ll all be Muslim. Too late to wake up America.
it had better be Jesus H. Christmas because the build up is going to overwhelm the actual choice. No one can live up to this.
Perfect sub-head.
What is ‘happening’ is a giant pant-load of nothing. A massive amount of media interest that costs them little. He’s going to need a running mate before the election — wtf does it matter that it’s being held back and positioned as if it’s the results of a fucking reality teevee show?
Glad this cycle is totally issues-based as promised…sheesh.
the HOPE / SARCASM 08 gear is fired up and ready to go
“OK!!!!!!!!! I’M RELOADED!!!!!!!
Jesus is my Veep.
I’m starting to get loaded.
Somebody hold me. I’m overcome with hopeyness.
Not_So_Much: Agreed. I’m a huge Obamatard but this is just ridiculous. I’m on the edge of my seat but simultaneously annoyed that they’re playing games like this.
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
There will be no VP, he’ll go to the state funerals himself.
whiteasasheet: I know. Can I drink now? Someone give me permission to drink!
Doglessliberal: no shit! As soon as he announces Bayh, Kaine, or Jingleheimerschmidt I’m going straight to Google to find out who the fuck that person is anyways.
Maybe he’ll pick somebody really kickazz like Jay-Z or that retarded kid from that one teevee show.
Well this is just getting sad. SEND THE GODDAM TEXT, BITCH!
Bear Bear = VP-Pick tease
loquaciousmusic: It’s Friday. Afternoon. So GO!
KevoTron: I am hoping for someone like Richard Cohen, totally off the radar. But Jaz-Z would do. Beyonce and Michelle, wow.
Agreed, chitownlib! And my coworkers know this, they have been harrassing me with Paris Hilton texts all morning… Someone make it stop already!!
chitownlib: Ditto — I love me some Hopey.
But this has gone, maybe just from media hype, from an interesting gimmick to a massively overblown, over-hyped ‘Media Event’.
It’s giving me a toothache in my eyeball.
Buffy and Hildegard: I am wondering if there is some massive technical glitch, which is why his site is so weird right now. Like the number of texts crashed the server or something.
Also, I can’t watch the tee vee because the AT&T guy is STILL trying to set up the damned FIOS! I’m totally drinking, NOW.
KevoTron: Timmy!
I got the text:
Beatty: “And, did you miss me, sexually?”
Kilpatrick: “Hell yeah! You couldn’t tell. I want some more. Don’t sleep!” (Source: Huliq)
Hopesman is giving it to us gooood! He’s making us remember we are all his bitches, even the RNC. Thing is, if we aren’t thrilled….
Doglessliberal: The paultards have somehow infiltrated the series of tubes and rendered the wireless internets inoperable.
Doglessliberal: I’m telling you VP Darth is in his bunker going Bwahhahahaha!
It’s Kristin Shepard, J.R.’s scheming sister-in-law and mistress!!!
Wait, sorry, my bad.
Not_So_Much: Are you imagining all the cell phones going off live on every new station like I am? Man, they’ll be talking about this shit for years to come.
loquaciousmusic: God, if you’re in a position to drink, do so. It’s still 10:45 am and I’m at work, so all I’ve got is apple juice. Please, drink.
DoctorCulturae:
Hopey is picking Hilz. Let’s look at the facts we know. He gave us a description of his choice yesterday. Here’s what else we know about the man from the foriegn land of Hawaii.
He keeps the world waiting (arrogance) after he’s said he made a decision. It’s taken forever for him to get here (indecisive, weak leadership skills) and at the end of it all, he’ll pick her because she helps him win and the other potential candidates do not (political considerations trump all else).
Obamabots! Release your flying monkeys from the castle!
Buffy and Hildegard: Right, or Ted Stevens finally figured out that you CAN drive a truck through it and crashed (into) the server.
Aww, I haven’t thought about Teddy S. in forever. I wonder if he’s looking forward to white-collar prison as much as we are looking forward to having him there?
LIEBERMAN???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF! Just kiddin’
georgia_peach: he’s in trouble. He just lost his motion to have the trial in AK (to accomodate his campaign schedule), but the judge, in a compromise, said trial will only be 4 days per week so Ted can travel back to campaign, which, given the predicted 4 weeks of trial and court schedule, is going to put the verdict after the election. His laywers blew it by asking for a really speedy trial and then making the motion for change of venue. The only people who are going to vote for him are those who think he is going to be found not guilty.
Dude, Barry has the most pretentious 404 not found page ever:
http://www.barackobama.com/downloads_whatever_crap_you_want/
It’s Godot!
It’s still 5 a.m. in Hawaii. Maybe he is waiting for them to get up.
AxmxZ: Exactly. I presume Wolfie, Chris Matthews, et al will be wearing iPhone bikini’s and butt plugs set to ‘vibrate’ to make this motherfucking spectacle really memorable…
A ‘tingle up his leg’ indeed!
I GOT THE TEXT!!!!! It says: Larry–pick up skim milk, Grape Nuts and granola bars on your way home from work. We have nothing for breakfast tomorrow.
HOLY CRAP! IT’S MY WIFE!
I went to his blog and saw the headline - ‘Barack in Chester, Virginia: “The answer is John McCain has seven homes”‘
So there you have it! John McCain’s seven homes are Obama’s pick for VP! This is a first everyone, but not just because they’re inanimate objects, but because they’re multiple inanimate objects. Think of it like “My Two Dads”, except with mannequins. ( Not to be confused with the movie Mannequin 2 )
pdiddycornchips: Could be Hilz. Might explain the wide swath of others considered. Like here’s going to be my posse. If so, then the Dem schedule would need to be redone. Since Gore is speaking next Thurs too he’s my dark horse. I know he said he wouldn’t do it, but it’d be good for the movie.
BrandonMills: I’ve been to Chester, West Virginia. It’s a hole. Chester, Pennsylvania is okay.
Clearly, visiting Chester, Virginia is Obama’s way of telling us it’s going to be Chet Edwards, who was the teenage son on “Wait ‘Till Your Father Gets Home.”
Doglessliberal: GOOD. There will be no possibility of Sarah Palin swooping in to save him with her relative youth and beauty. Of course, she is only “Juneau Hot” anyway…
I plan to enjoy this almost as much as the Tom DeLay indictment scandal. Loser.
Woot! Obama’s about to roll out the new iphone!
I wish he’d hurry up with the announcement I can’t wait to be disappointed.
He’s going to post “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog” in it’s entirety.
snig: Dude, I missed episode three. Don’t spoil it for me!
Barry? You’re going to miss the evening news cycle if this keeps up. Aw, fuck it. They’ve probably pre-written 50 versions of “here’s your latest option for mass disappointment” anyway.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Go to hulu and watch it now.
It is the coolest thing on the internet.
