The side effect of the Obama campaign's decision to announce the VP through text message -- a decision made so they could hoover up millions of cell phone numbers for later GOTV efforts -- has been some pretty savvy efforts to fool supporters, media types, and presumably, anyone else in the prankster's address book. In Virginia, a bunch of folks got a text message saying it was Kaine. This morning, I woke up to the following text:
Fake or not, it did give me a moment to decide note how I felt about the prospect of a Hillary vice-presidential pick: It was some inchoate mix of surprised, nonplussed, admiring, and still sleepy.Priority: High(62262) Dear supporter, today Barack Obama picked Hillary Clinton in an historic partnership. Together we will move America forward. Yes we can.
