Just Watching

I'm watching TV, waiting for John McCain to appear to formally announce his veep pick. If I were staging this event, I don't think I'd have brought high school cheerleaders in to warm up the crowd.

There's a big banner up that says "Country First" and people are waving signs that say that. McCain will probably deliver his customary disclaimer about how he doesn't question Barack Obama's patriotism.

I'm channel-hopping and all the pundits are saying the selection of Palin was a "daring choice." I think that means they want to see some polling data before they say whether it was a good idea or not. On the other hand, they all seem to think that the referee should step in now and stop the Biden-Palin debate before it happens.

McCain's speaking. I'm going to go listen.
