OK - but - wasn't it fun?  This had almost as much drama as election night.  All of us were glued to our computers, our cell phones, our smart phones, etc - waiting for news of the vice presidential pick.  Honestly - I don't know if I would have been this excited about the decision if I hadn't signed up to BE excited about it.  I was unsure if anyone would care about being the "first to know" - and only circulated the news because I thought it would be worthwhile to get others on the broadcast list.  But just the fact of signing up, meant that I was anticipating this news, and increased my interest.

In short - even the news interest was heightened because we were all waiting on the notice - and the official notice was not anti-climactic - it was "official."

One thing the Obama campaign has succeeded in - has been garnering enthusiasm.  In this - the texting campaign was a smashing success.
