Why does this business of texting out the name of the Dem's VP seem so immature to me? I suppose it's used as an attention getter. It does have the news media talking. Seems small town to me.
I tend to agree, inogivea -- it is rather immature IMO! But, he accomplishes several things by doing it this way: (1) He gets media attention (as if he doesn't get way more than his fair share already), (2) he appeals to the younger set, and (3) he again subtly puts down McCain's age and lack of technical abilities!
