Well, that was awesome. After what was a pretty crafty campaign to suck up a bunch of phone numbers for their SMS campaigns by promising to tell their supporters the inside scoop on the VP nom-noms, the Obama campaign rode the fail-whale all the way to Textland by playing the tease out too damn long. Even though everyone from here to Mars figured Friday afternoon would be a good time to send out the most coveted SMS since Willy Wonkas golden tickets, somewhere somehow someone on in the campaign figured they could milk it just a little bit longer.
You know, they figured that nobody would notice the Secret Service heading to Delaware to escort my boy Joey B to a chartered jet that had been sent from Chicago.
And then, as if to beat only the rooster, they started cranking out the texty goodness around 3am, rousting folks from their sleep like it wasn't already old news. Well, that's what you get for not thinking to text "STOP" to 62262 before you go to sleep.
It's 3 a.m. and your phone is beeping...
