Obama will announce his VP via text message. He claims he wants to avoid the pomp & circumstance of traditional VP announcements. At best, this gimmick is yet another non-substantive issue to distract this campaign. At worst, this is actually self-defeating for Obama because it plays into McCain's criticism that Obama is all flash and no substance.
I wonder how the VP feels about this by the way? A little snubbed? Or a little bit like a pawn in all this? I know the job of VPs is to take lumps (unless they're Cheney), but to play second fiddle to a text message? Really?
