The McCain campaign immediately released a statement saying that this is an indication that Biden is going to be pulling the strings because Obama is too inexperienced.
So, let’s get this straight: Obama is a bad choice because he’s too experienced in foreign affairs. But he’s also the wrong choice because he selected running mate who has experience in foreign affairs. And if Obama relies on his vice president’s experience, he’s somehow going to be a puppet. But when Dick Cheney advised Bush, it’s OK.
Gotcha.
The stupid things these people argue about just turns off moderates. It makes about as much sense to make a big deal about how much real estate the candidates own.

Good old Joe. He’s my guy!!

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear more B.S. from the wingnut fringe about Obama’s “rock star status” due to all the people fainting on Saturday. We had three pass out in the area where we were standing due to the heat exhaustion, then two more as we made our way towards the front.
Damn Secret Service wouldn’t let anyone take water bottles in.
