Open Left

I'd be fine with Biden (4.00 / 1)

What he lacks in sexiness and consistency he more than makes up for as a speaker.

The need for an effective attack dog -- and Biden is nothing if not that -- rises on a daily basis. He's confident, fearless, quick on his feet and funny.

Still not my favorite. I'm loving this Gore buzz, however improbable it may be.

TXT ME TEH VEEP PLS (4.00 / 1)

The one reason why I think Gore might actually be the pick is because of the whole e-mail/txt announcement thing.

Why bother texting every kid with a cell phone about the veep pick unless it's gonna be someone that every kid already knows.

Nobody knows who Kaine is outside of Virginia and political junkies.

I'm sure the text (0.00 / 0)

Will contain some bio information.  And people who sign up for the text messages are usually a bit more informed than the average "kid with a cell phone".

Old Man McCain - Hatin' on McCain since 2008.

I'm No Texting Maniac (4.00 / 1)

But my experience is that texting relies on tersity. A bio would be great on a Web page, or a mailer, but in a text, what kind of a bio can you get out?

Kaine is rl good gvnr & rl good democrt. TRUSTME. ECON DEGREE!

Please... (0.00 / 0)

Not every texter uses pidgen english like an illiterate dumbass.   Plus remember... there are TONS of tools that you can type from your computer and send it via text...  Servers, Bluetooth cell connection, etc.
