Sen. Barack Obama let me know at 1:56 a.m.. that he picked Sen. Joe Biden as his rumming mate.
My e-mail began:
Jerry —
I have some important news that I want to make official.
I’ve chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.
Apparently I wasn’t the first to get the official news.
Two hours earlier (at 11:44 p.m Friday) Ben Porritt, spokesman for the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain issued this statement:
There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden. Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be President.
Today will be filled with statements from politicians and supporters of the two candidates. I’ll post a few that I receive.
