Subject: I agree it's a good pick for him.

I find it incredibly odd that suddenly experience is not a big deal to the GOP - LOL! At least that issue will be off the table except for each sides back and forth rhedoric....Well SHE's only been a governor....Well HE's only been a senator....Well SHE has executive experience....blah blah blah blah.....I'm sick to death of the hypocrisy of American politics.

I have to admit I watched Obama's speech (I have not watched much politics at all but I do read a lot) and I did like it...a LOT. It made me feel a little hopeful for a better America and hope is a good thing. Sure it's just words, but some great things have started with only words.

I will also watch McCain/Palin speech. From what I've read and seen today she seems like a tough cookie, but who socially is on a different atmosphere than me. Will Hillary voters really flock to vote for her just because they both have XX chromosomes? It seems they couldn't be more opposite in viewpoints - why in the world would smart women vote opposite of their viewpoints just to get a woman elected....tell me women aren't this stupid? Lastly, I wonder how she leaves a 3 month old son in his first and most important year to campaign for VP and gets by fairly unscathed by the 'family values' party? Boy, if the Dem's would've pulled that how she would be called such a horrible mother.......again the hypocrisy of politics.

In any event, the debates will certainly be interesting and more entertaining than I would've imagined. This woman will spice things up no doubt!

and ICAM on Obama's speech. When the tears of joy dry and the tingles going up Chris Matthews legs subside, however, you gotta wonder where all the $$$ are gonna come from to cure all the ills of the world. It did indeed make you feel hopeful tho. That is what great orators do and he is right up there. During the upcoming debates? We will see and I cannot wait!

As far as playing the Mom neglecting her baby card -- that is way too much of a hot potato for either side. Crys of sexism would resound. The experience card won't work either - Barry's resume isn't exactly fat and he is at the TOP of the ticket.

Anyway, I am happy with the pick as are many many other Americans. It is exciting and I am so looking forward to the McCain/Palin sign going up in my yard!
