It’s official, it’s historic, Barack Obama has just been officially declared the democratic nominee for the President of the United States.  In years to come, “This Day in History” will have Barack Obama’s name as the first African American to be nominated as Presidential candidate for the Democratic party, or any party for that matter.  What a moving moment for our black American brothers and sisters, whether or not they support Obama.  I am not sure what word to use, congratulations seems so small, but what a day, only in America, God bless America.

Am I voting for Obama? Probably not, but that doesn’t take away from the significance of this day.  In fact, I’m not going to go into what will be happening for the rest of the evening, or the things that lead up to it, lets just savor this, and be thankful that we live in America where anything is possible and attainable.

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.
