Biden?
FlightBlogger wrote at 5:33 PM EDT: "a flightplan was just filed to Wilmington, DE (New Casltle) from Chicago, IL (Midway) on a Netjets Hawker 800. Obama has been in Chicago all day. A Delaware departure could mean Senator Biden is his number two."
The plane in question arrived in Delaware at 7:33 PM EDT. Where is Obama?? Do we know that he's still in Chicago?? Would it even make sense for him to fly to Delaware, since he's supposed to be in Springfield tomorrow with his veep? Shouldn't Biden (or whomever) be flying to where Obama is, not vice versa?
Still no text message...
UPDATE: Herbert makes a good point: "Why would Obama have to be on that plane? Maybe he sent a plane out for Biden since Biden is part of the campaign now."
Has Obama timed this so NBC will have to break into Olympics coverage?
Meanwhile, CNN's Candy Crowley just referenced both the bumpersticker and the plane.
UPDATE, 8:17 PM: Politico's Ben Smith: "I ... don't see why you'd need to fly from Chicago to Delaware in order to bring Joe Biden from Delaware to Springfield. Slightly more alluring: A redirect, briefly, from obamabayh.com to a dead page on Obama's site. A slight downer on this front: Whoever owns the site bought it in 2005."
