Obama VP Choice Imminent

Subscribers to Barack Obama's campaign website received an email today offering an automated email or cell phone text message announcing his VP choice - supposedly before anyone else finds out:

Dear XXXXX --

Be the First to Know Barack Obama is about to make one of the most important decisions of this campaign -- choosing a running mate.

You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and Barack wants you to be the first to know his choice.

Sign up today to be the first to know:

You will receive an email the moment Barack makes his decision, or you can text VP to 62262 to receive a text message on your mobile phone.

Once you've signed up, please forward this email to your friends, family, and coworkers to let them know about this special opportunity.

No other campaign has done this before. You can be part of this important moment.

Be the first to know who Barack selects as his running mate.

Thanks,

David

I opted for the text message format as well as the email. Now it will be a race to see who can get the info up here on PM first. I already know I can type faster than Tommy, but his day job seems more lenient than mine. The dark horse in the race will be David Knowles who appears to have a psychic ability to find stories that no one else has even seen yet.

Either way, we're geared up to get the announcement up here the fastest way the campaign claims we can. Unless of course it's leaked out before they can hit "send".
