I’ve had to change to MSNBC so I can listen to Mitt Romney give an excellent speech because you, FOX NEWS, are to busy keeping up your usual programming.  I love FOX, but you’re disappointing me tonight….and now here’s Mike Huckabee, and you’re skipping him, too!

There’s more to the Republican National Convention than Sarah Palin!!

All indications seem to point to Gov. Sarah Palin of of Anchorage, Alaska…and as I type, FOX news reports it’s official!  More to come on this, but this is exciting…so outside the box…a woman, a conservative, a maverick like McCain, 44 years of age, single (oops, editing this, she’s not single) Mom of 5, child with Down’s Syndrome, pro-life, pro-family, from almost as far away from Washington DC as you can get in the US.

I’ll have more to share, but for now, this is the official word! Go McCain, another sign of what a maverick you are!

I’ve just finished listening to Michelle Obama, and earlier, Ted Kennedy, and I can tell you, you don’t have to be a Democrat to have been moved by this evening…perhaps not as deeply moved as I expected to be, but moved none the less.

Michelle did a wonderful job, I can’t imagine, as a woman, standing up and speaking before so many. As Juan Williams of FOX news very emotionally expressed in his words after her speech, this was a historic moment. And it was, we have never had an African American candidate for the Presidency, and Juan’s emotion at seeing Michelle on the stage reminds us that there is still so much healing going on in the hearts of our black brothers and sisters.

“Daddy”, Barack Obama, came on for a bit after her speech via satellite, and I’m not sure whether he was prepared for all the questions by his adorable daughters were going to ask. There was a helpful question in the mix for him, by the way, as he stated that he was in St. Louis at first, and thanks to his daughters question was able to correct that and say he was in Kansas City.

So tonight was a “warm and fuzzy” night, maybe in the nights to come we’ll get to see what Barack Obama plans to do as President, tonight that was definitely not the focus.
