Getting To Know You...

Getting to know all about you...

So the infomercials are over and let the games begin. The RNC and DNC have trouted out all their key people to spend two weeks telling us absolutely nothing and I watched it like it was crack. Granted the RNC had divided attention because of a great Williams sister match at the US Open, but overall it was great political theater - Will the Clinton's behave? Will Bill be sincere? Can the DNC unify? Who will McCain pick? McCain picked who? Her daughter is what? Will Bush speak? There's a hurricane set to hit New Orleans again? Wow Palin brought down the house how can McCain compete? -- all of this fodder leaves us in one place, what happens next. I am thrilled and encouraged by the millions who have tuned into the conventions and sincerely hope that it is only momentum to the debates and record turn out in Novemeber. I have had much to say about Palin in the last 48 hours but will refrain from it here. Suffice it to say, she gave a terrific speech, whose content I question.

I watched the DNC like my life depended on it. I watched a little of the RNC but just couldn't stand the speeches they were so boring and said nothing. At least Al Gore's speech, which was said very fast, was informative.

Yeah, you lean towards what you want to hear naturally I think. I also couldn't get past the "Country First" slogan -- Country First - as opposed to what? You'd think McCain was a Marine - God Core Country.

It's all a little frightening for me right now in the silly season. It is also disappointing that the man who led a solid debate on immigration reform has devolved to campaign lies and back handed tactics.
