Politics
First, there's still one draft slot remaining for fantasy football....email me if you want in.
Second, I have to talk politics. I am rather surprised that Joe Biden was Obama's pick. Don't get me wrong. I've met Senator Biden and love his in your face tell it like it is attitude; however with everything focused on "change" it seems odd to pick such a long time senator.
That being said, it's not like there were a ton of options...picking a one term governor isn't a great idea, there's no way he could have picked Hillary, so in that way it made sense.
And oh look there's John McCain going negative again. I think that's why people like Obama -- his message is pretty positive, and not doom and gloom like McCain. I think we've had enough of the scare tactics. Of course McCain's PR team must be pretty dumb. "Hey I have an idea for an ad -- throughout the ad, we'll have people screaming Obama's name" ...yeah that does well for your candidates name recognition.
Eight years ago when McCain ran against Bush, I really liked the guy; the straight talk was refreshing and heck even his SNL skits were funny. Now however, I'm not a fan at all. He has changed his mind quite a bit and anyone who thinks anything Bush did in the past 8 years was good really needs a refresher course. Perhaps he can start with knowing how many properties he owns.
Seriously, I know my investment accounts and approximately how much is in them. I deal with hundreds of millions of dollars at my real job and I know where it all is. How the hell do you not know what you own? Either he's not good at accounting or he's starting to lose his mind. Either way it's not good.
Okay, that's the political rant.

I think the real issue was that McCain had no ability to think on his feet. He wasn’t prepared to say how many houses he had. He seemed more worried about what he should say, rather than just telling the truth.
This is just another area where Obama seems like the clear choice. McCain needs someone in his ear at all times, because he doesn’t seem to have a complete grasp on everything.
