This morning, around 3:28 a.m. EST, subscribers to Presidential candidate Barack Obama's text messages received the ultimate announcement – that Obama had finally selected a running mate [1]. His choice? Joe Biden [2], a senator from Delaware. Although the news was leaked as early as 2:00 a.m. EST, few members of the Twittersphere had anything to say about it. Instead, their reactions were based on Obama's selection of Biden.

From Denmark, Svanes [3] was disappointed with Obama's choice:
