Atlanta school kids do Presidential politics music video

A group of kids at a private school in Atlanta, mostly black, have a musical video that's getting a lot of play on youtube and CNN does an interview with them. But surprise, surprise, the shortest and I guess youngest black kid says he's a John McCain supporter, the only one in the bunch. Has a new Joe the Plumber stepped into the limelight? Stranger things have already happened lately. Plus one of the girls in the group says she likes Sarah Palin. Maybe there's hope for the future.

Obama’s brilliant Biden pick

I had a flash of insight about Barack Obama’s choice of Joe Biden for his VP. It really is a pretty smart choice for Obama because he picked one of the very few candidates among liberal Democrats who, when standing next to Obama, has the quality to make him look “Presidential.” Making Obama look presidential by comparison is a pretty neat feat, but IMHO Biden is one of the few who can pull off that difficult task. Well played O.

On the other hand, Rick Moran points out that by picking the underachieving Biden, Obama did McCain a huge favor in making his choice of VPs.

McCain's choice won't have to be a stretch. Just about anyone he chooses will stack up with the Delaware senator so no one can accuse him of picking someone less brilliant or less talented or with less "heft" than Biden.
