A Shout Out to Barack!

Thank you, Senator Obama, for selecting Joe Biden to be your running mate. For while I am not rash enough to predict a certain McCain/Palin victory in November, I think you’ve given them a fighting chance.

You played it safe, and John McCain rolled the dice. I will note that that yet could backfire on him, but credit where it’s due: the selection of Palin was a bold, intuitive move (wait a minute; aren’t Democrats and liberals the only ones allowed to be bold and intuitive?) while you decided to be (oh how much this delights me to say!) conservative. Bet you’re reconsidering not picking Hillary now, eh, buddy?

The Delaware Senator was in Michigan recently, and I have to believe that in light of all this his charge that a McCain term would be an extension of Bush policies sure sounded hollow. And after his other gaffes (telling a wheelchair bound supporter to stand up; is Joe a Pentecostal preacher on the side?) it really makes your choice for veep rife with potential trouble too. Palin should take him in debate short of a major flub herself.

As McCain appears to be playing up his choice so that the ticket seems equal, giving Palin almost the same stature as himself in ads, he must think he’s found something. It’s going to be an interesting ride these next few weeks.

Thank you again, Senator Obama, from the bottom of this little old right wing heart!
