I'm getting ready to head out today. My bags are pretty well packed, the sheets have been stripped off the bed and placed inside the pillowcase, per Regis' instructions.
I've had breakfast.
Thursday's festivities were incredible, and I'll try to give more reaction as I can.
But with news breaking this morning that John McCain's vice presidential pick appears to be Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, it seems only appropriate to ask a question: What does it mean to be an experienced candidate, and does it matter? I was reading about that topic this morning, and the author was commenting that the McCain camp may get a dose of its own medicine after saying that Obama is inexperienced, and therefore not ready to run the United States. Does Palin's experience as governor differ because of the office, or make her more qualified?
I'm not sure yet. But with more research, I'm sure we can find the answers.
More to come...stay tuned....

Don't you find it interesting that during the run up to the vice presidential selection by Obama two first term governors were mentioned. It really does seem to be a double standard that those on the left are mentioning the experience issue. If Obama considered both of those governors I really can't see the inexperience tag going anywhere. Clearly the VP pick of Sarah Palin will make the race much more interesting. It seems that the Democrat ticket is extremely light on qualifications at the top of the ticket and the VP selection has years of experience in the Senate but no executive experience. McCain has no executive experience but plenty of foreign policy experience and a VP selection that has the executive experience. It does seem that the Palin family walks the talk when it comes to their convictions and they are much closer to the average American family than either Biden or Obama.
