So I just found out that Sen. Barack Obama’s team sent out his text message alerts (a several-hour process) starting at 3 a.m. That hour, of course, was notable from Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign — an hour that she said she would be the most ready to take the phone call about a national or international crisis.
The choice of this hour, surely, is not happenstance. I would venture that it was a deliberate slam at Hillary. These people had hours, days to send out this announcement. I find this timing exceedlingly offensive, like a playground bully taunt.
What a classless, juvenile act.

Obama: “Chill, Hill”
CNN is reporting now that “A senior Democratic official who had spoken with Clinton told CNN late Friday that the Obama campaign has communicated to her through private channels that she will not be Obama’s vice presidential pick.”
Well, sharpen those pencils for November…
