I don't get it...
A 3:00 AM text message???
I thought politicians always released bad news at 3 AM on a weekend...
Who was supposed to get this text???
Dont most people turn on a TV or radio in the AM...BEFORE checking their text messages???

I'm 45...and I reply to a text message...by calling the person that texted me...:o

Someone explain the TIMING of this announcement to me...

I'm talking about the "How do you keep an idiot in suspense" routine.

Who really gives a crap when he announces it?

I'm sure the midnight text appeals greatly to the inexperienced( in life) voters that love Obama...:rolleyes:

Cnn broke the story at 245 am with tips from democratic party officials. The text was supposed to go out at 8 am Saturday morning, but when the story broke the campaign was forced to send it out then.
