Like Churchill said (I think) “Democracy is the worst political system in the world, except for all the rest”. In other words, Obama’s promise to win the election while remaining outside the fray of politics as normal was complete and utter nonsense. That being said, I think Richardson, Schweitzer, Warner or that dude from Tennessee, Ford, would have been refreshing, “clean” picks.

I read that Obama is going to give his speech from a faux ancient Greek temple. What the hell is he thinking? Maybe he will walk down like Robespierre did at the climax of the French Revolution sporting a toga and replacing Christianity with the “Goddess of Reason.” It’s so ironic that the party for the common man never fails to leave the common man’s jaw dropped with bewilderment.

I’m kinda curious on your opinion as to which running mate would have fit the “time for a change” motif.

Comrade Chen, can you smell the dissonance? Smells like defeat. I love the smell of Democrat defeat in the mourning.

But at least Biden should pull in those all important THREE electoral votes from Delaware.

“Jimmy Carter was a man of decency and a man of principle, but it wasn’t enough. That’s the first time I realized that on-the-job training for a president can be a dangerous thing.”

Joe Biden. OJT and Obama are synonymous.
I actually endorsed Biden for D president so I think the selection was a sound one,as sound as it would have been for the dems to pick him for P.

“ONE HOUSE/ONE SPOUSE” as the new mantra for Barack’s campaign! Love it.

About the text message being received hours later. I bet the Obama camp realized that the text-message is instant, so because there is a 3 hour difference between the West coast and the East coast, it probably screwed everything up. Or it took hours for all those text-messages to be delivered. Not sure how the whole thing worked, but I wouldn’t stock the incident up as him not running his campaign well.

I thought Biden summed up McCain well on Saturday. You live, you learn, and it appears Biden has when it comes to Johnny.

P.S. My link on the Political Alliance doesn’t take you to a page, can you fix it?

oops! – Fixed
