But the journalists (who apparently never sleep) stalking out Biden's house noticed Secret Service activity late Friday night, and realizing that could mean only one thing, they broke the news, and the Obama campaign had no choice but to rush out the announcement prematurely, in the middle of the night East coast time...
Honestly it would have better, with greater exposure and impact on Thursday evening and Friday, to have made the announcement on Thursday around noon Eastern. By Friday night/Sat morning Americans are in weekend mode and not tuned in to campaign and political events, or news in general.
In general the Obama campaign has been very smartly run, very well organized (had to have been to have knocked off a titan like Hillary) but they clearly goofed here with the VP announcement.

I believe that the Obama campaign intended to send the message much later on Sat morning
