biden's like the saturn of vp picks. you see it, and you're like, there's a solid, economic decision. it runs ok, it's unpretentious, it's AMERICAN.

there's a certain level of cognitive dissonance seeing OBAMA BIDEN signs, stickers, t-shirts, etc. i got so used to seeing the same signs everywhere for the last year and a half. now i'm like- who's this guy on all our stuff? what's the deal?

i actually didn't see his speech. i heard it was good. lots of attacking mccain on the right issues + introducing a biography = exactly what he had to do. i was in a coffee shop working in ann arbor, sitting right by the window while a socialist was literally on a soapbox, yelling at passers-by. i don't know what would have been more enjoyable- watching this crazy guy, or the next vp- but i didn't have headphones so the choice was sort of made for me.

anyway, that's the update ON THE GROUND.
