John McCain’s Present
With all the frenzy surrounding Sarah Palin this week, I sort of forgot to thank John McCain for filling my request from last week:
I’m hoping for an Obama bait-and-switch. American politics is supposed to be all drama and circuses.
I demand absurd surprises. If McCain selects Alan Keyes, I’ll vote for him.
The fact that Alan Keyes looks like the more reasonable choice at this point is a McCain gift that keeps on giving. At least Keyes is a known quantity.
And this hilarity of this statement from Ezra Klein grows by the hour (and increasing number of Palin -gates):
In this election, Joe Biden is proving the low-key, stable, drama-free vice presidential candidate who basically does his job and stays out of the news. Joe Biden.
Speaking of Biden, my cheer in his nomination also continues to grow (from CNN):
If Sen. Joe Biden was hurt that Republican operative Karl Rove called him a “big blowhard doofus” at an event in Minneapolis Monday, he didn’t show it.
On hearing the news, Biden grinned and said “he’s a great American.”
Perfect.
[Ed note: McCain did not choose Alan Keyes, which means I'm still voting for Obama.
Oh, also - I don't hold myself to anything I pledge on this blog. (Except if Palin is withdrawn for Keyes; I swear on my life on that one...)]
