I guess Sen. John McCain can now say, "Look at me, I have a minority too."
When you look at what happened at the Democratic National Convention this past week when it comes to unifiying the Democrats with the rest of the voters who supported Hillary Clinton, that job was done. It took the whole week to do it, but it got done.
Good job.
However, the historic speech by Obama put the nation's first African-American presidential nominee out swinging from the corner.
Then McCain pulled a headfake, with everyone thinking Mitt Romney would be the choice. I didn't think he'd go for him because Mitt couldn't even win his home state, let alone make this country go red. So why not pick a woman? Obama didn't.
First-time governor Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be Sen. John McCain's running mate.
That announcement came Friday, with he and the 44-year-old mother from Alaska making their first appearance in Ohio.
McCain explained he had many good people to choose from, and said that he was grateful to all of them for their willingness to serve with him. He also said she has the grit and the common integrity needed in Washington today.
Like Obama, very little is known about Palin, so both parties will have a lot to show. Republicans and Democrats are thinking on the same levels for the first time in a long time when it comes to strategy.
She admits to make McCain's short list was a "privilege", and promises to bring nothing but the best to the ticket.
Even though she really didn't say anything that to me stuck out other than her giving a resume of what she has done. I admit she's a good pick because she's wasn't a ringer for the RNC, but, she's going to really have to show why she's the right pick to run as Vice President other than the fact that she's a woman and that she wasn't picked because Obama didn't pick one. That's something that Palin can ony do.
And with Van Halen's "Right Now" playing in the background, the duo made their way to the stage
Either way you look at it, things are going to change in Washington D.C. The faces are going to change.The 2008 General Election will be one for the books.
