Question: what does the Olympics have to do with when the vp candidates are told?

On the news several times lately they wonder when the candidates will spill the beans and tell who their running mates will be. Seveal different news channels have all said they should wait until after the Olympics.

So, what? People who watch the Olympics will not hear who's running between now and NOVEMBER?

Do they think the entire country is breatlessly awaiting the big announcements?*waves feeble hand* h-e-l---p!!!

IT's the AHs that consult the candidates.

THe people who are hired to run the campaigns have control over everything that 'their' candidate does. If you notice that whenever something goes off-kilter the candidate NEVER gets on the horn to make a statement. It always falls to an advisor speaking on their behalf. It's made to sound like it came from the horses's mouth but it's some speechwriter/ventriloquist that carefully crafts a response that sounds great and can be attributed to the politico-until something goes wrong.

Then they bounce the consultant and get another.

When asked about not releasing the name of the Veep, they'll make a statement like this-

"The announcement for the Vice Pres was delayed as to not take away the spotlight from the fine athletes who are competing on behalf of the United States. Any comment from the campaign would not be fair to these people who have prepared for years and trained for their moment of glory."


As we speak there are phone calls trying to get some medal winners at either convention.

Until the election keep track of all the athletes who show up at ralliesl.
