Obama: Announcing the VP Candidate Unconventionally

Instead of the default live, televised speech, Barack Obama will be announcing the Vice Presidential candidate electronically. If you submit your email into a form on BarackObama.com, or text VP to 62262, you will find out who the candidate will be.



Make sure you do, cause otherwise you're going to have to wait about 20 seconds longer than everyone else to find out! I figure it will take about 20 seconds for news to be posted on the internet, and broadcasters to go live with it on TV news. I'm a little surprised that he isn't announcing it via Twitter as well, but as you can see from the tweet below, just text and email.



Way to embrace technology, Obama!

Godspeed.
