I learned this morning, via text message from the Obama Campaign, that he has selected Delaware Senator Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate. I love the idea that Obama's team chose to use such a current and accessible medium like text messaging to make the formal announcement ahead of his campaign rally this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois. The annoucement read:
I have some important news that I want to make official.
I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.
Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.
I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change. I had always been a strong Clinton supporter but her defeat does not make me want to swing my vote to McCain like so many have done. McCain has consistently voted as Bush has over the years. I think we all agree that we could do with a lil' less Bush these days. I will support the Obama/Biden campaign because it is what this country needs. We will all suffer greatly if we continue down this destructive path. Read the exciting Obama announcement at his official site - www.barackobama.com
