It’s Saturday evening, about 10:30 here on the East Coast, and I’m watching diving on the Olympics as I check the news and do a little blogging. I expected a lot more in the news on Biden being chosen as Obama’s VP, my hubby said that the infamous text message letting the “World” know that Obama had chosen Biden didn’t get out until about 3 am., quite a while after it hit the media, and those of us who were watching our alerts got it on our sites and blogs.

I did see an article in Washington Post that has a nice bio on Biden, and mentions Obama officially introducing him in Illinios yesterday, which should actually be today…but no matter, it’s a good article, and timing doesn’t seem to be everything if everyone knew about Obama’s choice before the magic text message was sent. But if you’re fussy about timing, read the article on Sunday, then the event WILL have been yesterday:-).

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, we have a lot to look forward to, the Democratic Convention, John McCain’s VP choice, the Republican Convention, Debates, things are finally getting interesting again.

It’s about 12:45 EST….click here and see for yourself.

1/2 of the “veepstakes” is over, and I’m headed for bed, have a great weekend!

I’m sorry, just kidding, it’s late and I’m tired, but wouldn’t it be funny if that’s the text message everyone received on their cell phones, those that are going to receive the message, that is.

Hubby and I were talking tonight, and we aren’t Democrats, but can see that with how close the race is, having Hillary as Barack’s Vice President would make living at the White House a LOT more hopeful than it is now, right? Or are we wrong?

Maybe…because I think that if John McCain picks Mitt Romney as HIS running mate, we’d have close race once again.

I haven’t gotten into the “Veepstakes” talk much…where did the word “Veepstakes” come from anyway? …because it’s dragging on and on, and who wants to hear more, but since the first VP selection should be known by this time tomorrow, thought I’d give it a go.

Wouldn’t it be funny to wake up and find out I wasn’t kidding in title after all? (No it wouldn’t be :-))

Like anyone who is following the election, I’ve been pondering a lot of things, but most of all, who I think the best running mates will be for each of the candidates.  This is just my humble opinion, the wife of the man who is into politics, or used to be, and I may be way off, but it just seems that for the Republican Party, Mitt Romney would fill in the wide-open gaps that John McCain has.  As a republican would this be my ideal?  This election I am afraid is falling short as far as there being ANY ideal, again, JMHO.

For the democratic side, it probably goes without saying that Hillary Clinton would be the best choice for Vice President.  The mantra this election is CHANGE, how much change can you get than the first black man and the first woman elected as President - Vice President.  Do I want that change?  No way, and it has nothing to do with race or gender, not one bit.

I am not excited about the coming election, lack of excitement leads to lack of blogging.  I don’t see excitement in my husband, either.  So I’m contemplating a change in what this blog is going to be all about.  Watch and see, some changes may be on the way…they are still coming together in my mind.  I’m thinking of moving toward an even more “opinionated” format, and some may not like it, but that’s okay.  More exciting that way.
