Now, both Bill Clinton and Joe Biden will be giving speeches at the
convention.

Time for another DVR hard drive upgrade.

I wonder if the DNC will start to play music (as the do at the Oscars)
if they go beyond their allotted time slot.

I was just thinking .... if McCain goes with Romney, it will be an
interesting match up with Obama/Biden, especially when both sides start
playing dirty.

Obama and Romney are more alike .... somewhat reserved and polite in their
exchanges. Both find it somewhat uncomfortable to engage in close quarter,
confrontational attacks.

It will be left to McCain versus Biden in the game of making viscous,
personal attacks. Both are evenly matched, with Biden perhaps having a
slight advantage in the capability of pure, unadulterated nastiness.

I could be wrong, but Romney doesn't seem to fit for me. He's a Mormon,
which wouldn't make a difference to me, but to evangelicals? It's a big
part of the Republican base, a part of the base that is lukewarm on
McCain as it is.

Under that scenario, McCain and Biden squaring off would only
emphasize Obama's weakness.

Which (heh - this is a good one) would mean that Biden is Obama's
Cheney. :)

Which, now that I think about it, makes a lot of sense.

Exactly. The same thought crossed my mind earlier this morning.

Except, of course, that if Obama is "weak" on foreign policy, he is
strong in many other areas. Bush had and has no knowledge of anything
except how to screw things up.

Obama isn't running against Bush.
McCain, like Biden, has many years in the Senate.

But, there won't be a direct matchup between McCain and Biden. Debates
will be between Obama and McCain and Biden and whomever. In reality,
nobody really pays attention to the VP contest.

Yeah, really. I'd put Bill on about three hours after the end of prime
time. On the other hand, Bill will do a terrific job of reminding
everyone how well the country did with him at the helm, and how crappy
is is doing now, and that McCain is just four more years of Bush.

I have a feeling Biden will be a bit more disciplined.

One good thing about Biden, of course, is that he actually knows
something. That alone differentiates him from the top and second banana
of the Republican ticket. McCain is one senior moment after another, and
Romney is the flip-flop champion of the GOP.

A second good thing about Biden is that the professional Republican
slimers are already on the attack.

I can't wait for Obama and Biden at some point in the campaign to pledge
to NOT send the sons and daughters of America off to a war because of a
mistake or for political reasons.
