Less than 24 hours after Barack Obama's very moving acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, John McCain has named a running mate and seemingly done the impossible: shocked the world! In announcing Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP candidate, McCain has made it a lock that the 2008 election will push the country into uncharted territory: starting in January, America will have either its first black President or its first female Vice-President! And while I'm certainly hoping that the Democrats prevail for all kinds of reasons, either way some ground will be broken and another wall will be knocked down. And that's a good thing!
By the way: is it just me, or does anyone else think that Palin looks a whole lot like Tina Fey? If Fey was still on Saturday Night Live, wouldn't she be absolutely perfect to portray the surprise VP candidate?
