Barack Obama looked right into the camera and definitively pointed when he said the above words.

I work nights. I haven’t watched anything but the convention the entire week to ensure I got a full sense of how to describe what I saw last night.

It just so happened that as I walked into my place of employment, I ran into my boss. We were the only people in the building, so I turned on the TV in the rec room and we watched Barack’s speech together. Now this was an awkward moment because I’m sure he pegged me as the Black guy Barack supporter, and I was cool with that because it is what it is.

John McCain has just made 1st term Alaska Govenor, Sarah Palin his choice as vice president. She’s 44, with 5 children, is pro life (she will appeal to pro lifers because she has a child with Down’s Syndrome) and against gay marriage.

The self described Hockey Mom also hails from a very important energy state. He has to restart the conversation that he too can be a change agent. I guess after last night’s amazing pageantry, McCain has to do something drastic to make winning the November 4th election a reality. He’s going after the women and independent vote in one fell swoop. This is a huge roll of the dice and it proves the Republicans are scrambling to run an idealogical campaign of sorts.

She’s attractive (Miss Alaska runner up), young and poised to become a power player in conservative politics. Economic and social conservatives are going to love this pick I hear. Simply put, the Republicans might have created a star.

She is facing an ethics investigation in her hometown state for firing a state commissioner who refused to fire a state trooper. The trooper was her sister’s ex husband who allegedly physically abused her so there are supposedly some extenuating circumstances. I’m sure this will be something the Dems will go after even though she hasn’t been found guilty of anything.

Thanks to Claude Johnson for posting this in the Barack post. I crack up every time I watch it. Dig the look on Lloyd’s face as Quayle begins to stick his and everyone else’s feet in his mouth….as if to say, “Dumbass.”

R.I.P Senator Bentsen.

Last night was as unique a moment as we’ve had in our nation’s history as Barack Obama becomes the first Black man to win a major party nomination for President of the United States. It was a moment where there was national unity–at least for one night–for one party. The Democrats have kicked off the convention season with a boom bang and for the most part have stayed away from the paradigm of attacking John McCain and the Republicans. In doing so, they have expanded the electorate.

Black Mustard: the celebration after a play in your face…after the trash you talked…after the media support you hawked, for it made the swagger we walk.
