Say It Aint' So, Joe

I'll admit, I've had a crush on Joe Biden since the Thomas confirmation hearings.

Yes, he talks to much, he puts his foot in his mouth. But I still like him. I'm probably a bit alone on the crush thing, though. And I still won't vote for Obama.

So as we prepare for Obamapalooza, I will be getting the seventh season of Buffy to watch next week. Yes it was the worst but anything is better than the suck fest of love for the other chosen one. We now know who the running mate is. Does it matter? It feels a bit "Odd Couple-y" to me. Can two senators run for office together without making each other crazy? Or us?

I've been completely tuned out. Too much work and a bit of the blues followed by my fabulous staycation where I managed to catch a bug during a tropical storm that has dumped more rain on Central Florida than all the storms that hit in 2004 combined. I feel like I'm living back in Germany - no sun. The weather has matched my mood - very Lear like.

What I've managed to pick up in the air is that Senator Obama didn't bother to vet Senator Clinton for VP. Not a shock but a nice insult. The Times today posits that Senator Clinton is too tepid in her support for Obama. Really? Wonder why. Obama keeps slipping in the polls. It must be Clinton's fault.

In an election where most people aren't excited about either candidate Joe Biden is a luke warm choice. Can he deliver the key Del-Mar-Va votes? Who cares?

One week until college football starts. Now there's something to get excited about.
