Joe Biden is his VP. Seems exactly like politics as usual to me. Perhaps a better indication would be McCains gutsy appointment of Sarah Pailin.
What a boring, trite little story. Hope you are not fronting too much money for this cattle fodder.
Actually folks, the show was totally underwhelming. Any event planner would tell you that you can have a much better effect, especially for national television by reducing the space and filling the scene. What they had was a stage in a stadium, which diminished the impact of that stage, when Obama sauntered in few were even aware that HE had arrived for the crowning, he gave a lackluster speech that would have even made Stephanne D sound eloquent, then they had a fireworks display that was no better than a few hand sparklers and a miscue when the paper confetti failed to fire up at the same time. The effect, a phizzle. If you are going to use a stadium, you have to put on a grand show—aka Chinese version of the Olympic ceremonies. If I may be prosasic, the Democratic affair was much like fooling around in the back seat of the car only to have messed your pants to show for all your effort—and although it doesn't matter I lean towards the Democrats philosophically. carl
