Little Wolf's World

I am not completely sure what John McCain was thinking when he picked Ms Palin. (Several people I have talked to had an initial reaction of "did he just say he picked Michael Palin of Monty Python?"

She gave a terrible, very unorganized speech on Friday, and I found her voice to be annoying and screechy.

I found it rather funny that her 17 year old daughter was pregnant when it was released today. Wife kept trying to tell me that she wasn't 17 and that the baby was her's. (I guess from the rumors on the internet, my wife isn't the only one.) I also think that it was interesting, that the press release was all candy and flowers about the issue. I have a feeling that the news wasn't received at home quite that well.

They said that she is going to be marrying the father of the baby so I just was hoping to get several questions off my mind:

1. Where did the girl and the father of the baby meet?
2. How old is the father?
3. When is the wedding?

A separate list of questions in about the Palin family come to mind.

• As she is a big supporter of home schooling, are their children home schooled and if so by who? After all she has been a mayor and is now governor, and hubby is busy commercial fishing.
• If they are paying for someone else to educate their kids at home does that qualify as home schooling?
• How did someone who is as shrill as she is get elected to any kind of public office?
• For a family that is as evangelical as they are reported to be, why do I get the feeling that she runs the family with an iron fist?
• Does anyone else get the impression that she is a closet bitch?
• Am I the only one who thinks she appears to have moments of the eyes of a psychotic person?
• What did this woman do to convince John McCain that she was the first best choice for VP?

And several questions about John and his wife:

• Why does Cindy McCain appear to have inhuman eyes, and does this worry anyone but me?
• Aside from his VP choice, does anyone else think that John may be getting a wee bit senile? After all he seems to be forgetting some important things recently.
• Wife and I seem to think that there is something physically wrong with John. He doesn't seem to move very well any more. Anyone else feel this way?
• I realize that the good Senator's mother is still going strong, but is anyone else worried that a 72 year old former POW and torture victim is going to put himself under the stress of 'running the free world' is may not make if 4 years.' (This, I might add seems to be made all the worse by his VP choice.

I enjoyed the rest of the convention last week.

I though Hillary and Bill did what they had to, and hope that her voters will listen and move to support Barack for the general election.

Joe Biden's speech really impressed me, I don't remember him giving that good of a speech in quite some time. (I also felt that if Hillary had spoke as well as she did at the convention through out the campaign, the out come might have been very different.)

The Speech that Barack gave was outstanding. My first comment to my wife was that he was quite as dynamic as he usually is, but he was much more presidential than usual.

I have comments on John McCain, but will do those separately.

As PS on the Day one comments: I thought Nancy Pelosi look very good, but was very dull on the speech front. (She doesn't always look all that good to me.
