Obama insider leaks running mate to the AP

The Obama campaign generated
Quite a bit of buzz by promising to announce Obama’s choice of running mate via text messages.

Apparently at least one campaign insider wasn’t quite on board, because tonight they told someone from the AP that Obama had chosen Joe Biden as his running mate. Or maybe they were on board, but were a little confused. Apparently they leaked the info anonymously because, somehow, they thought that would avoid preempting the text messaged announcement on Saturday morning.

Stupid? Naive? Cynical? You be the judge.
