I'm changing the channel!!

Just so you know, you come across as a cranky old guy ranting about 'newfangled gizmos and gadgets.' I guess you can relate much better to John McCain, then, huh? (oh no he didn't!)

Gasp! you mean your not sitting there, parked on myspace waiting to announce to your friends the second a text comes from above to break the agonizing suspense? your not absolutely salvating over the possibities it presents? Will it be.....*gasp*...dare to hope...clinton? Honestly, I wish he would just drop the other shoe already and get off the damnn head games. I'm not a big embracer of the whole pop culture phenominon. If he wanted to be really poppy, he should have domne a youtube announcement. Or a face book bulliten that would simultaniously bounce to the face book aps on cell phones. Maybe even go on MTV to do it. *shrug* He has really juveniled the election process. Maybe this is an effective campaign strategy if you are trying to get the vote of your average 9th grade highschool kid but for cripe sakes Obama, this is an election for U.S. presidency, not presidency of the student council.

I guess Obama is the media choice (except for Fox) I guess they want anyone who is as far left as they want. When I was watching the news on NBC, CNN, ABC, and CBS, I wonder "am I watching American news or did the Commies take over while I was sleeping?" I thought they gave fair coverage and as for Obama, I suppose his wife makes sure to hide the mirrors or he would never leave the house. I hope McCain gets in.

I'd think McBush supporters everywhere would be soooo relieved when the focus is on Obama, whether it's calling him a Muslim and member of a radical Christian church at the same time or talking about who his running mate will be and how it will be announced because it's keeping the media from doing their jobs thoroughly and finally telling some of the many "truths" about McCain that have yet to be brought up by the "liberal" MSM. I like this idea of sending e-mail or text messages to supporters first when the VP announcement is made. Who cares if McBush supporters call it trendy or choose to change the channel! Annie

Well, I feel that this is a way to reach all the young voters that will be coming in droves this year. Its a medium that most young people use, and Obama is exploiting that, not that its a bad thing. I think its a good idea, although I didn't venture to sign up for it myself. In that aspect I am like you. I will hear about his VP choice on the next newscast after he does it.

Well I do not really like Obama, nor do I like McCain, I like a little about each of them, but not enough to make me enthusiastic about either of them, so I suppose I have a slightly objective stance on this. I can see this definitely hurting Obama's campaign more than helping it. The older generations will be not so enthusiastic about this because it will just remind them too much of what their children do to run up their cell phone bills more than sound like a serious person running for president, which will also make everyone think about how young Obama is and inexperienced, though in my book alone I don't care about age and experience if someone has a good head. Now this will help Obama, but only with the one age group, the one that tends not to vote as much as the other. He didn't even need to do this texting thing, it's not like if he didn't they would not still love him anyway, so it's kind of a stupid move, it can go both ways, but I don't see it being positive for voters to vote on. People do want change, but how is this pop culture appeasement going to appease those who actually want real political change with the issues? Well that's just my opinion, happy mylotting everyone!

The week long media circus about naming Obama's VP is rather obnoxious. But then again, it was a week of distraction - helps keep Obama out of trouble. I am pulling for Bill Ayers. Obama's selection of the terrorist buddy would fit his Audacity of Obama program nicely. Regardles of who shows up in the text message, Obama is still Obama - a disaster and certainly no president. djbtol

The MSM's love affair with Obama is nauseating, now is it not. I love it when Obamites write discussion that the media actually favors McCain. If that statement is not but to rest by this story I do not know what will. People need to get a life if they are waiting by their phones for a text message to find out who Obama is going to pick.
