Are You Getting a Text from Obama?

The Vice President guessing game is starting to get fun. Strong, positive anticipation is a key ingredient in any successful campaign. And, if you choose, you can be one of the lucky Dems that receive a text message with Obama’s pick before the rest of the world hears the big news. His strategists are amazing. This is the first campaign to ever crack this amount of anticipation via a text message. And, what a brilliant idea it is. Sending a mass text is easy, affordable and a genius way to collect more phone numbers. Another key to any decent campaign. Obama’s campaign is a movement. And, as a loyal Hillary fan, volunteer, and supporter, I give his team a lot of credit! I want to see him win now more than ever.

MarketWatch blogger Russ Britt breaks down the situation. If you want the play-by-play, click here. Here are his picks:

* VA Govenor Tim Kaine
* IN Senator Even Bayh
* NY Senator Hillary Clinton
* KA Govenor Kathleen Sebelius
* DE Senator Joe Biden
* Former SD Senator Tim Daschle
* NE Chuck Hagel – YES, a Republican

I would have to agree. Britt sums it up nicely. Most important, Obama needs someone with foreign policy experience. He needs someone seasoned; with just the right amount of experience but not someone with so much DC experience that it would take away from true CHANGE. And, if I could choose Obama’s veep, I would choose Hillary Clinton. I have been with Hillary for more than 3 years – stuffing envelops, knocking on doors, making phone calls, and sleeping on gymnasium floors in New Hampshire to canvass in below freezing temperatures.

I am rooting for her and think she is the most qualified. But, I am putting my money on Joe Biden. Reality is reality. I would love to see a woman in the White House. But, when we look at where Hillary is headed – a possible run in 2012 – and Joe’s previous attempts, foreign policy experience, and energy, it just makes the most sense.

Who do you think is Obama’s pick for veep? My sources tell me a text message will be going out Friday. Join in on the fun and be one of the first to know Barack's pick!

Remember, keep your phone close and on. T.G.I.A.F. – Thank goodness it’s almost Friday, right?
