The Guy Who’s Not The Guy Is The Guy: Obama Picks Biden
By Kleinheider Posted on August 23, 2008 at 12:21 amIt’s looking like the first African-American nominee has picked a man who once bragged on being from a slave state:
The United States Secret Service has dispatched a protective detail to assume the immediate protection of Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a source tells ABC News, indicating in all likelihood that Biden has been officially notified that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, has selected him to be his running mate.

Hello???? I broke the story here!
Yeah, but you don’t write for Southcomm.
Actually, it looks like Silence isn’t Golden broke it at around 10:45.
I just tested her site for the timestamp, and it is CST, so she was on top of it…she went on the same thing I did…the Secret Service being dispatched, as opposed to waiting for the text or email…which I still haven’t gotten!
Did ANYONE get “the” email and text from the Obama campaign?
Doubleyuuutee-efff, guys…
I broke the story at 5:33 PM! A full FOUR hours before anyone else.
Credit where credit is due.
Looks like I got the heads up, just like Matt Drudge and the blue dress.
I’d like to thank my friends in NYC who tipped me off.
Thanks, girls!
Matthew
BTW–Does anyone else think McCain will now pick a woman for his VP?
Woman for McCain?
Well I got the Biden pick right (in the contest for a steak dinner at Jimmy Kelly’s) and it was his best choice, the risk-averse pick.
I picked Mark Sanford, gov of S. Carolina, for McCain and I do think it would be a great pick but I am leaning toward Sarah Palin, gov of Alaska, now. However, I think his safe pick is Romney.
Thanks BO. Muzzling JB will be fulltime work for a large number of your staff. He’ll provide the most target rich environment in many a year. Let the fun begin.
Back in the 90’s, Bob Dole told this funny joke about being in Washington long enough. That he remembered when Alan Simpson had hair and Joe Biden didn’t.
Damn, Kleinheider, you missed three posts at my site, and four or five at TennesseeFree.
Oh. A bit too conservative for the ‘hard-right’ Kleinheider, huh?
Well, I’ve fixed the Obonga-Bidog logo already. Bidog is re-exposed as a Racist!!!!111!!!! . And your kids here are arguing over who broke the story first. As if anyone cares.
Carry on.
[...] Lying hypocrite. Everyone can thank me for cutting this problem off early on. Attention whore. Read the comments. [...]
