Why did Obama wait till Friday night to announce his VP pick?

Question

Saturday morning, (weekends in general) are the worst time to make announcements. So.... why did he do this?

Answer 1

I think he may have slightly miscalculated his audience.  See he thought they would be sitting inside watching television when in reality they were out getting hammered.  With my social life I wouldve gotten the text, bud I didnt think I should sign up.

Answer 2

Added drama I guess.   For some reason he thinks we give a d**n.  

Answer 3

I don't see the big f'n deal in all of this...oooo the suspense!

Answer 4

The convention is Monday so he probably didn't want to wait until them. I know he has a full schedule everyday & is the most organized person I have even seen. People from both sides say his campaign is the most organized they have ever seen so I think it has something to do with just finding the time & wanting it to happen right before the convention rather then stretching out that time for long. Republicans will read something negative into that too probably.

Answer 5

Because he had to appear with the VP saturday .

Answer 6

If you were going to pick Biden you would have waited for the cover of darkness to announce it as well.

Answer 7

HE picked the WITCHING HOUR, 3 AM, to send his text message.  Wierd!!!

3 AM mocks the time Christ was crucified which was 3 PM.
