still sick.

I watched Barack Obama's speech last night at Invesco Field and just felt that yes, this is it. I think this guy will be the next President of the United States. And honestly, how could you not? Seeing him up on stage giving this great, awe-inspring speech and seeing all 80,000 people cheering him on pretty much sealed the deal for me.

(MY ONLY GRIPE WAS THAT THERE WAS NO BALLOON DROPPING, WHICH I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO BECAUSE THEY WERE OUTSIDE, BUT IT WASN'T TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE.)

But then it got even better this morning, because Matt Lauer broke in with a NBC Special Report saying that McCain picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his VP. While it's and interesting, bold and history-making choice, she's really not the best candidate because of her lack of experience and the fact that she's a unknown in Washington. So really, I think the Democrats have this sewn up. Even Mommy, who outright said she'd vote for McCain, heard the announcement and promptly announced she's voting for Obama now because of it. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES, REPUBLICANS?
