Got an alert from The New York Times at 10:05 p.m. saying that Obama picked Biden. At 12:55 a.m., I got a text from the Obama campaign, and an email at 5:14 a.m. I didn't think it was a glitch, I just figured they couldn't be tempted not to leak it to the traditional press. That reaches a lot of people too.
