Seriously though, what does that have to do anything? Obama didn't send a text message to Biden to let him know he was his choice for VP. The text message was a broadcast announcement to Obama's supporters, no different that using any newswire or television news network to disseminate information.

actually no i don't i think it was an attempt to rally them (and i'll concede they typically vote to the left hence the McCain camp's issue with it) and to drum up a list of potential contributors (and that was without regard to age)

it's really not all that different than the last go around when Dean used the web to surge ahead of kerry and edwards in the primaries. btw, notice how he's not yelling like a madman these days?

Were/are you not afraid of getting fish germs in your chili? Also, how the hell do you warm it up on a boat?
