I also heard a lot of people lauding the BO campaign for “discipline” in not leaking the Veep choice ahead of time.

But they DID leak it, two hours plus before the vaunted text message, a message that itself possibly went out earlier than BO desired because of that very leak.**

Which leads one to wonder if they did not leak because there was nothing to leak. BO literally could not make up his mind until late Friday. That is a more compelling and Occam-ish explanation than any “campaign discipline”.

** Interesting that FNC’s Carl Cameron notes speculation (by some Hillary Democrats) that the “3am message” (ahem) might have had some meaning other than just coincidental timing.

Hmmmm.
