Obama Wants U 2B the 1st 2 Know

The press may or may not be in love with Barack, but for what will probably be the next big political story (love children notwithstanding) Obama has decided to circumvent them entirely and take it directly to the people.

Last night we received an email from the campaign telling us that if we so desired Obama would be happy to email or text us the name of his VP pick. We imagine this mostly a new ploy to up his list of possible donors as we move into the final stretch of the campaign, but it also made us wonder whether newspapers will pick up where Barack leaves off and this will be how we get a lot of our breaking news in the future, in 140 character twitter texts.
