So I wake up, and my network is down, and I turn on Air America, where I hear an "encore" Franken episode of Katherine torturing Al with nipple clamps. That was really disturbing. Nothing about the VP race. So I had to call up a friend of mine that hardly cares about this stuff at all and she said, "Oh... yeah. It's Edwards. I think I heard it on NPR."
Talk about underwhelming!
Anyway, I am now back online, basking in the glow of a very good day in politics. I'm much more encouraged about Kerry now. I really wasn't sure how committed Kerry was to the actual Democratic movement that is out there. It was hard to tell whether he was actually changed the Dean experience, or was just cynically adopting it on his way to picking someone from the old guard. This proves to me that he's inspired about what is going on these days. I might start donating money again.
Just found this little tidbit. It turns out Rupert Murdoch made the call personally: http://www.nydn.com/front/story/210554p-181436c.html
