Okay, the "08" in the convention logo -- I get that the "0" looks like a capital "O" for the "Obama" connection, but does the "8" look upside down to anyone else?
It's driving me BATSHIT.

I am in love with Joe Biden's mom! I love how she keeps mouthing, "It's true!" as he tells these stories.

Biden was pretty damned good; he's definitely more than the token Old White Dude on the ticket.

Alrighty. Good speech, Joe.
Heh. Michelle Obama looks like a proud mom. (Er, WRT Joe's successful speech, that is.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
When my grandmother was sick,
When the nephrologist came in to my grandmother's hospital room early one morning to discuss treatment options, he asked her some standard general orientation questions -- "Do you know where you are? Do you know what day it is?" That sort of thing. The fourth or fifth question was "Who's the President?"
She looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Abraham Lincoln."

God, I thought Obama was going to say "President Clinton reminded us what it's like to have a president who actually has a grasp of the English language."
Also? You guys, I hate to even say this out loud, because it feels like saying it will jinx it, but -- I think Obama's going to win. I don't think it's going to be easy or pretty, but I think he's going to do it.
Please Vishnu.

Joe rocked that. God, to hear someone talking foreign policy with intelligence and nuance. (I was a little surprised at the Georgia stuff, but I'll trust his take on it over most people.) And I hadn't expected how effective he was on the economic stuff - I was struck by how softly he spoke and how real that made it seem when he's talking about people grappling with reality.
