A Late Update on Obama's Speech- Also, Sarah Palin? You've got to be kidding me.

Sorry, readers, for the late update on Barack's acceptance speech. I'm sure all the other blogs have already covered it, but oh well.

So Obama's speech. Absolutely incredible. He managed to get onto the offensive a little, too, which is always good, with lines saying that voting for McCain would be "taking a 10% chance on change" and that McCain "just doesn't get it". His campaign had lowered expectations for a while, saying it wouldn't be as good as '04 etc. but my expectations were certainly exceeded and I imagine that it had a similar effect on other voters.

In other, snarkier news; Sarah Palin? Seriously? Why?

Well, we all know why. I'm pretty sure that goes unsaid. But why her? I get it that she's a woman and all, but she's no Hillary. She's a conservative, anti-choice governor of Alaska. By picking her, McCain just lost his "experience" card. He could have just chosen another Republican woman: Ever heard of Elizabeth Dole? I guess McCain hasn't. It's actually insulting to Hillary supporters, really. I mean, Palin is the epitome of "baking cookies". She's an ex pageant girl; as Miss Alaska, he so-called special talent was whistling. Now that's just ridiculous.

I really can't stop laughing. Sarah Palin. That's pathetic, even for McBush.

On Hillary Clinton's Speech

Not much left to say- I'm a little late covering it. Still, I just wanted to commend Hillary on a great speech last night. Hopefully that'll help convince all those "Democrats for McCain" voters- if they really are Democrats for McCain at all. I've honestly started believing that all this disunity is a scam created by the McBush campaign to try and convince actual Democrats to vote for him. I've looked at their various websites, and they seem like Republicans on there...

Anyways, back to the subject of the convention. Great speech, great for unity. I was actually getting a little worried there when she started onto why she ran, but she tied it up nicely with "that's why I ran, that's why I support Barack Obama". Also, I appreciate her taking a shot at John McCain, something that hasn't been done that often at the DNC as of this posting.

I'm really looking forward to Biden's speech- hopefully he'll continue with the offensive, as well as chalk up some points with working class voters. I'll just be waiting with our fingers crossed and my TV pundits talking until he speaks.

In case you've been hiding under a rock this morning

According to Larry King and the message I got from the Obama campaign in my inbox this morning, Joe Biden's been chosen as Barack's running mate. So far, pretty much all of the pundits I'd heard consider Biden an asset to the ticket, and it's no wonder why. After all, the polls have showed that the American public considers McCain stronger than Obama in regards to foreign policy, while Biden is incredibly experienced with that matter. On the subject of experience, Biden's thirty-five years in the senate may counterbalance Obama's relative inexperience (which conservatives have been capitalizing on).

The only issue with Biden is that he's opinionated, which can be a good or bad thing, but could render him unpredictable. Already, the McCain campaign has released an ad attacking Obama, using Biden's words from the primaries. Also, people have been mentioning the "scandalette" (my word) regarding Biden's college plagiarism. However, if we're going to talk about college, I could say a few things about McCain's years in the Naval Academy, and all his demerits there.

I guess the pressure's on McCain now to pick a running mate and deflect some of the attention towards him. Until then, I'll just be Biden' my time (sorry, couldn't resist the bad pun).

I think I'll blog a little extra more...

Ah....Dubya is at it again. Apparently, in a recent talk with the Lincoln Welding company in Ohio, he has blessed us with yet another Bushism, this one on the topic of conservation of energy. He brilliantly (coughcough) stated that "people are plenty wise about how to conserve", adding that they are "making the choices about whether you want to drive a little extra more or not drive extra more".

Also, Bush had an explanation as to the high price of gas. He states that "when you hear "my gasoline prices are going up," you got to understand the main reason why is because oil prices are going up. "



In case you want to read the rest of his speech, here's the link.

I'd also like to make a quick shout-out to my aunt and uncle, who are apparently reading this (even though they're conservative). Thanks for taking time out from reading your Ann Coulter books and watching Fox News! Meheheh....I tease. Anyway, here's the website of my Aunt's company, La Vie en Rose Party Favors. Check it out if you're in need for supplies for Obama's inauguration party....*smirk*.
