McCain on how to steal the thunder

Not even 12 hours after Obama's supposedly "historic" speech, presumptive GOP Nominee John McCain, by waiting until today to announce his pick for VP, has succeeded in stealing Obama's thunder.

From the front page of CNN.com:

Today is not about Obama anymore... it's all about John McCain. What do you think is going to be the lead story on the 6:00 news tonight? Yesterday's news, or today's big story? Obama's not even going to get a full news cycle with his speech.

Now that's what I call good strategy.

UPDATE: Just hit "refresh" on CNN.com, and CNN has announced that Palin will be McCain's pick for VP.
