I received notification by text message, just as many did
Now, I can't speak for all of you who have nothing better to do but to stay up around the clock with 24-hr crap running on TV...but I do have better things to do...like sleep, and so when my blade went "beep" this morning (as I had come to expect it would) I received the news by text...not CNN, or Fox, or MSNBC, or the networks.
Nice touch to the otherwise overblown, over-hyped choice that VP always becomes.
