I confess that for the next 7-10 days I WILL regret the lack of a television in order to get blow/blow coverage of the goings-on with the DNC.
Further, I want to say I am unimpressed with the top 3 names being bandied about (Biden, Kaine and Bayh, oh my). Not that they aren't without their merits ... but from my perspective NONE of them represents the kind of refreshing change and derring-do needed, in fact LONGED FOR, in our political system.
They are more of the same, maybe with a little icing on top for pretty shiny distraction. They have individual accomplishments, however, 2 of the 3 voted FOR the Iraq war. Flies in the face of what distinguished Obama from Clinton, doesn't it. And if he is okay with that ... then he should select Hillary.
I was really kind of enthused when I read Michael Moore's open letter to Caroline Kennedy encouraging her consideration for the role.
Anyone else out there monitoring the situation? predictions? insights?
That kind of an announcement, that kind of choice, could blow this thing wide open. But looks like the old standby, do the safe thing ... will apply.
Anyone else out there monitoring the situation? predictions? insights?
In any event, I am seeking to stay as connected as possible to the unfolding events via my internets. they are my heroes, those internets! my connection to a bigger world!
