How do I convince Barack Obama to send out this text message thing while I’m in public?

One thing about living in DC is that you know that there are politically plugged-in people all over the place.  Almost everyone follows politics in this town, even if they’re not directly involved in politics.  The city trends heavily Democratic, and anyone who has spent time downtown knows that the city is totally run by young people—the kind that love to use text messaging.

In other words, I’m expecting an awful lot of text message recipients in this town when Obama announces his VP pick.

I fully expect entire rooms full of people to stop, stare at their cell phones for a second, and then break into some sort of furious uproar.  This is a sociological experiment I don’t want to miss.  I will continue to jump into action every time my phone vibrates today and tomorrow.

So Barack: on my lunch break, perhaps?
