5. I think it would be funny if it came in the middle of a rally
His phone/blackberry buzzes, says (a la RudyGhoul), excuse me, have to get this. Reads it, says, huh. Everyone's cell phones pings about 30 seconds later. Veep walks out as place erupts in cheers.

:party:

7. that would be great!
then his supporters will definitely get the heads up first. what a nice reward for them.
I know the msm peeps are on the list as well, but what are they going to do? run to the studio, or fumble around for their cameras and mikes? ahahahah, i love it. SCREW THEM!

9. I thought about that! Will he wait until Californians are up and about
so he doesn't piss them off by waking them up?

17. The overwhelming majority of Obama supporters would "get it" and think its great

Remember... only the diehards are on the cell phone list anyway.


In the text of the message, he could have:

"It's 3am... and our nominee is: ______ .... are you ready to answer the call?"



Remember, David... these people are ALREADY supporters and don't need to be "won over".

22. Well that would be perfect.
My wife actually speculated it would be done in the middle of the night so supporters will get it on their phones and know in plenty of time before the press reports.
