Obama will announce his VP choice online first (campaign, thought, regular)

You can sign up to be among the first to know here:

Barack Obama | Change We Can Believe In | Thanks for signing up -- now, invite your friends and family

This once again demonstrates one of the big differences in the candidates...in one corner you have a past his prime computer illiterate old man. In the other corner you have an intelligent energetic young man who uses the internet and the online community to his benefit.

This is a way of rewarding his supporters, bypassing the regular media and letting them know first. Good move.

I wonder if he'll give his concession speech on-line first.

I thought it was sort of funny that I could sign up to receive a text message to hear it first. I didn't bother (I'm sure I'll here it within a millisecond of the announcement from the people I know on his campaign).

I actually did. Though I hope I don't start getting a bunch of junk messages now.

I hope so, so we dont have to hear anymore teleprompter speeches.

I hope not either. I learned the hard way back in 2004 what giving your email to a politician entails (hint - almost daily emails begging for money, and no, Obama is no exception).
