I really enjoyed watching the Vice Presidential debate so much more than the Presidential Debate, both Candidates did a good job.  I was concerned for Palin, but she did an excellent job.  As people, both candidates for Vice President are personable, nice people.

For me, I don’t know that there was a winner or loser, I’m going to think about that a bit more.  Clearly from the type of posts you see on this blog, I’m a McCain supporter, and I hope he takes some pointers from his running mate…I appreciated how gracious she was to Biden, that she looked at him when she spoke.  When McCain debated, even when asked to engage in conversation with Obama, I don’t recall seeing a lot of that.  Hoping for better in the next two debates.

Finally, what a beautiful ending, the families cordially greeting one another on the stage, I don’t know whether things like that make one a better candidate, but I sure did like it.

Now it’s time to watch…and watch out…as the press does it’s “spin” thing.

Here’s the debate:

Now it’s the Roublican’s turn.  Who will McCain pick?  Great job of keeping a secret, McCain.  They are already saying “no” to my picks, unless you have a surprise up your sleeve.  So far they say no to Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Pawlenty…so who is left?

Tom Ridge…Leiberman…Sarah Palin…Meg Whitman, CEO of eBay? These are names being tossed around this morning, as for the woman, I have to admit I don’t know much about them…in fact, so little I’m not even sure I spelled “Meg Whitman” right, I sell on eBay, but don’t know a thing about the CEO…I’ll have to do my homework. Waiting…..

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 :-))
