I bet Obama's going to have some major announcement tomorrow.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

He's a master showman, and knows how to get the spotlight back on his campaign.

He's probably had something in the works for weeks, if not months.

What do you suppose it is?

[Rambis]

1. Like to see cabinet posts announced

Wes come on down
Hillary come on down
Chris Dodd come on down
Richardson come on down

[onenote]

10. not going to happen

ANnouncing cabinet appointees ahead of time would be a huge error. It would distract from the efforts to uncover more about Palin by giving the media new targets. Even though the names you mention have been pretty well vetted in the public, there would be stories about their pasts (Richardson, for example, has some baggage apparently, and Chris Dodd has a past as well) that would be too enticing to the media.

At this stage of the campaign, the goal is to keep the focus on the candidates, not on others.

2. Colin Powell?

He did say he was waiting for the VP picks to make his choice.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. That rumor is flying wildly.

A Powell endorsement would be big.

[kwolf68]

21. PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE

I am no Powell fan, but if he gives Obama the endorsement, what a pick off. Powell is pro choice on abortion so maybe the whackjobs of that party have finally broken his spirit.

[ellacott]

6. That's what I was thinking n/t

[tedoll78]

14. I know he's not popular here..

but if he can be used to sway remaining undecideds and independents, I'd love to see this happen.

Think of the media fanfare after such an endorsement; it could kill or significantly dampen any bounce that McCain would get from his acceptance speech.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. If he doesn't do it then he's the cowardly piece of shit I always said he was.

This is one time when I'd love to be proven wrong.

[madwivoter]

4. Cabinet posts

would be ideal. I was hoping it would be this week, tomorrow would be perfect timing.

[onenote]

13. Bad idea. See post #10.

[madwivoter]

24. I see your point

But it would all depend on the "who's" they would announce.

[plato988]

5. Present

It would be funny if Obama response to questions about the Republican Nation Convention with one word - "Present". It could defuse the voting issue that Republicans are trying to use against him.

[Bobbie Jo]

7. At least he was "present." McSame was a no show more often than not. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Do you know McCain can't remember how many houses he has?

Do you know how many houses you have?

Do you have any?

[4_Legs_Good]

8. There's a reason we haven't heard the July totals yet.

That will be among tomorrow's revelations.

11. How about tonight when he's on o'lielly?

I don't know if it's live or when they tape that thing?

Pretty funny, though..'cause mcain wimped out of larry king and Obama's goin' into the lyin's den!

[WeDidIt]

12. August Fund Raising

Remember during the primaries when he always released teh record breaking totals when it provided the most effect?

[weezie1317]

15. It's the July fundraising totals.

[WeDidIt]

17. August n/t

[hasssan1]

16. We need to take GUN to a GUN fight NOt a KNIFE , DO YOU HEAR ME DNC

DNC and Obama's camp MUST hitting repubs and Mcfalin as hard aS YOU CAN. pOSITIVE CAMPAIGN WILL cost DEMS ANOTHER DISTASTE.

learn from 2004 and ask john kerry if you don't believe me.

[scheming daemons]

18. Raised $100 million in August

[canichelouis]

19. That's the spirit

I donated again.

If ya can, a good thing to do.

[book_worm]

20. I doubt it. He will just continue with his amazing campaign.

[alteredstate]

22. Perhaps he'll ask for weekly Biden/Palin debates

so we can compare Sarah's knowledge of foreign policy with Joe's?
