Read a great piece today how Michael Moore wrote a letter to Caroline
Kennedy (who was involved in the VP choice) pleading with her for the ticket
to be Obama-Kennedy. How would have that have been for creative and
energizing? Not to mention unexpected. I think women in the 39-50+
demographic (or whatever the age range is they talk about) that the Obama
camp is concerned about would have rallied behind Caroline. A mother of
three and a lawyer, she has a lifetime of public service but not in
politics, and of course there's the family legacy.

That would have been interesting. Of course, she doesn't have the experience
Biden has, but some might like that. My husband likes Biden, he thinks we
need better management than we necessarily need of change for the sake of,
well, new and different.

Starting?? I went from interested to cynical to almost apathy a while ago.
I'll vote for Obama, but I am tired of politics and the entire process with
a capital T.
