Still feeling meh about it. Need to see them on the trail to get a better feel. I think he would have done better choosing a governor. Still having trouble getting excited about either ticket.

Obama is just too "nice". Joe will bring a "tough" edge to the campaign...finally! I'm kinda bummed! I signed up for the Obama text last nite at 9:45pm and didn't get the announcement! Maybe I signed up too late. Anyone else experience the same thing?

On a side note: While everyone is talking about Biden's experience, Fox News was talking about how many bedrooms/bathrooms he has in his home! Lol. Which is funny, because it is a mere comparison to McCain's 7 or 8 homes. Fair and balanced, eh?

My mom sent me an article that analyzed the interior decorating styles in Obama and McCain's offices. It was interesting, but also just weird that they are writing this stuff ...

Ditto, but at least it undermines McCain's main argument, that an Obama ticket wouldn't have enough experience for the job.

Meh, not from the south...

He's going to have some problems.

It's been shown that it's very important to carry the south.

I think he should have picked Wesley Clark had Clark had any interest in the veep spot.
