Hey — I'm going to be the first to find out who Obama's VP is going to be! That's right, the senator is going to skip the whole "media" thing and just e-mail me. Here's what the e-mail that I (and presumably millions of others) got on Sunday from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said:
Dear Ocean --
Barack Obama is about to make one of the most important decisions of this campaign -- choosing a running mate.
You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and Barack wants you to be the first to know his choice.
Sign up today to be the first to know:
You will receive an email the moment Barack makes his decision, or you can text VP to 62262 to receive a text message on your mobile phone.
Once you've signed up, please forward this email to your friends, family, and coworkers to let them know about this special opportunity.
No other campaign has done this before. You can be part of this important moment.
Be the first to know who Barack selects as his running mate.
Thanks,
David
I guess he figures I'll spread the word. And in case I'm out standing in line for Pinkberry, he's even offered to text me. I'm not sure what I did to deserve this honor, but he had me at:
"You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and Barack wants you to be the first to know his choice."
I guess he really liked that candidate forum he did with us!
Head here if you want to join the club.
Your move, Senator McCain!
