Politics - yes, I'm going therre

First, let me say that I think the hype of being the first to know of Obama's VP selection by text message was poorly executed. Sending the text out at 3am?! Come on!

Past that though, we are now getting into the heart of the election cycle. Obama's VP choice has been made and announced. The news this morning is all about Biden. Interesting story, solid experience, and at times, his mouth is a wild card. Sounds like a good choice. McCain already has ads out of Biden saying Obama doesn't have the experience. It's all about strategy.

The speculation on McCain's VP choice is increasing as a result. Apparently, he will make the announcment next Friday after the Democratic Convention. The talk today heavily favors Romney.It is easy to vote the party especially in the presidential election. But, there are SO many important issues the country now faces and sometimes, those party lines are blurred. We still have reproductive rights, equal rights and the economy which are typically party issues. But, we have the changing face of foreign policy, terrorism, and globalization not to mention energy issues. I can honestly say that I have not definitively decided on how I will vote. The VP is an important issue.

For my own piece of mind, I am going to look at the issues that I think are most important for the health and future of our country as well as those issues that I think are fundamental for our citizens and see how the candidates stack up. But, also, who do I think will actually make progress (or the reverse, not do more damage) in the next four years. Honestly, I'm not sure either candidate will be what I want.

How are you making this important decision? Have you decided definitively?
