Obama is expected to drop the name any time now, although rumor is that Hillary isn’t expected to be thrilled with it. He is sending out a text message to let the world know who he had chosen.

The funny part is, a lot of people can text these days:

“There is incredible enthusiasm for Barack Obama’s vice presidential announcement and unfortunately some people have used that enthusiasm and sent out hoaxes,” said Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who received one herself. “We can assure our supporters these texts did not come from the campaign and their data is secure. Everyone can also rest easy that despite their popularity, Mickey Mouse and Michael Phelps are not on the short list at this time.”

A Manhattan woman got excited when she received a message announcing Hillary Rodham Clinton, but soon realized it was a joke she saw nothing more about the choice on the Internet.

There also were reports of John Kerry, Walter Mondale and even Eliot Spitzer.

Spitzer was in the top ten, but he came in around #9.
