Houston, we have a possible problem. if you chose your Vice-President, after supposedly meeting with them for fifteen minutes, does that mean that you fly by the seat of your pants, or that it doesn't matter what they have done, you just want to shake things up because, you are slip, sliding away? If after you select this individual, you learn that she is under an investigation into possible abuse of power as a Governor, that her husband was a member
of an Independent Political party, which wanted to sucede from the United States of America, that she taught abstinence in schools while her underage, unmarried poor, exposed daughter was expecting, that it was announced on CNN this morning that the National Enquirer (which is not usually reliable until recently, when it proved the story about John Edwards' infidelity was true), is reporting that the Governor had an extra-marital affair. Senator John McCain is threatening a lawsuit, if they don't retract the story. The reporters and editor of the Enquirer are saying that they have three reporters in Alaska and they are sending four more, to work on the story. Think there is any good, in fully vetting a candidate more than fifteen minutes? When I saw who Mr. McCain chose, my reaction was, he is going to have to find another Vice-President for this race. Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong, time will be atelling. David Gergen, CNN commentator said a few nights ago, after Mr. McCain's selection of Governor Palin, that this was the riskiest thing he had ever seen in his political life. Mr. Gergen has advised about four past Presidents. Oh yes, one final tidbit, she is under investigation for firing the Deputy Commissioner of the State Troopers, (title may not be accurate) but the gentleman was in charge), because her sister was undergoing a messy divorce, and the Governor wanted her brother-in-law fired. The commissioner refused, so she fired him, not only does this appear to be abuse of power, but if the commissioner was dismissed without cause, he has a civil suit under the EEOC, which he may very well win. There were twenty-four telphone calls made to try to get the man fired, some made from the Governor's husband, others from her staff. She said she had nothing to do with it. This is who Mr. McCain decided on for his first big decision. Mitt Romney, MiKe Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty, Mr. Portman, former Budget Director or Tom Ridge, were all second rate to the Governor of Alaska. I don't even think he will use her in the real sense as his governing partner. She will be a facade, and someone else will do the second-in-line job. He, as someone said, wanted a person with female body parts, he got her. She made a rip roaring, base rousing speech on Wednesday evening, filled with scathing assults on Senator Obama. They won't allow the press to ask her anything, and now the Enquirer story. Lordy me! Judgment, judgment, where did you run to?

Has anybody seen my sunshine?
It seems that it has disappeared.
It makes me very sad, when it leaves.
I need my sunshine every day,
I don't care about the rain,
It's alright to have a few drops.
I just don't want my sunshine to hide.
I search and I search, but not a glimpse,
Of my favorite playmate, my sunshine friend.
So, if anyone has seen my sunshine around,
Please pass on, a message from me,
Come back soon and make me smile and smile,
For there is no one, like you, who makes my day.
Please return soon, color my very heart,
Sunshine happy, and radiant again.

Look for: "Scream if You Want To!" Reduce the stress.

But for the light of the sun,
There would be much darkness.
But for the sound of voices,
There would be no communication.
But for a true value system,
All would be amok.
But for the loyalty of friends,
There would be a lack of empathy.
But for the beauty of nature,
Life would be so colorless.
But for the love of family,
A lot of people, would be cold, unkind.
But for the love of God,
The entire world, would likely be lost.

Have a great week!

Believe it now!
CNN has just confirmed at about 12:45 a.m., that the choice is definitely Senator Joseph Biden as Vice-President, to compliment Senator Barack Obama.

I think I was right! It is reported that the Secret Service has been
dispatched to Senator Joe Biden's home. There is also a chartered plane, which came, reportedly from Midway Airport in Illinois, which
landed at the Delaware Airport.
Also Senator Biden has been asked, to submit a list of his aides who could travel on the campaign plane to assist Senator Biden as he goes out to hold rallies. People who could be cleared immediately by the Secret Service.
In addition, they want contacts who could speak about Senator Biden's life, at any given point in time, from senator Biden.
The report is also that Senator Biden's collegues in the Senate, are saying, that from all indications, Senator Obama's choice will be Senator Biden as his running mate.
From flowers being sent to his home on Friday evening, to his family members coming over, on Friday evening, to Senator Evan Bayh, Governors Tim Kaine, and Bill Richardson, all being told by telephone, that they have not been chosen, and Hillary Clinton, never being vetted, all indications are that Senator Joseph Biden will be the vice-presidential choice.
Senator Biden is a Catholic, the working man's friend, hails from Scranton, Pennsylvania, is the least wealthiest man in the Senate, with reported net worth of minus three-hundred thousand dollars, and someone, who travels by train every day to Washington, D. C. from Delaware, is therefore a very good choice for the Obama campaign to have selected. By the way he is a bulldog debater, turn him loose, and his opponent won't know what hit him, unlike the low key way Joe Lieberman, handled Dick Cheney, during the 2004 campaign while running with John kerry.
Senator Biden is in charge of the Foreign Relations Committee, and recently was invited to Georgia by the President of Georgia, then came home and reported to Senator Obama what he found out, to help Senator Obama in his assessment of the situation.
So, we can't say absolutely, positively, it is Senator Biden, but the Secret Service does not visit a Senator's home for a party, at 12 o'clock at night, and so we say that, it is our thought that sometime this morning, all those who signed up for an early text message, as to who the Vice-President will be, should receive their answer before 9:00 a.m., this Saturaday morning, and at 3:00 p.m.. Eastern Standard Time, Senator Obama and Senator Biden will come out, in Springfield, Illinois, for an introduction of the Obama-Biden ticket to win in November on the Democratic side. You go guys! This is exciting. How amazing, that the word was held for so long, I have never seen anything like this in present times.
Oh yes, early word is that Senator McCain's choice for his running mate will be former Governor Mitt Romney. Senator McCain will make his announcement on his seventy second birthday, which I think is August 29. Let's get this show on the road, and get this party started.

Well here goes, I am going to go out on a limb, and say that Senator
Obama is going to chose Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, as his running mate. Did get a hint that Senator Biden has been acting as if he is going to be away from home for at least sixty days, now it could be a head fake as they say, but for my part, I think if it is Mr. Biden,
this is a good thing. They will make a good team, Biden is smart, articulate ),and well versed in foreign affairs, which will be an asset to the team. Though I don't know why people were getting antsy, as Obama has three hundred advisors, every base will be covered.

Muhammud Ali, reportedly called Senator Obama's campaign and said that it was going to be such a great historical event at the convention, when Senator Obama makes his acceptence speech, he wanted to attend, especially since it was on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech as well.

*

Senator McCain was asked by a radio interviewer, how many homes did he and his wife Cindy own. Senator McCain stumbled over the question and said he would have his staff get back to the interviewer. The answer it seems, is seven homes in three states. The Obama campaign quickly jumped all over the comment, more that McCain did not know or did not want to answer the question, to show that Mccain was totally out of touch with everday American people, with so many homes, and the nerve to call Obama elitist.

Tropical Storm Fay is moving up the east coast of Florida, and has stalled dropping up to 30 inches of rain in some places. People had to be evacated using airboats. Alligators and snakes were seen on the flooded streets. Some 8,000 homes were damaged by the waters. The storm may pick up steam after moving into the Atlantic, and revisit Florida as a hurricane on Thursday, according to reports.

Senator Joe Lieberman, Mr. Independent, will be speaking at the Republican Convention, in September. Hopefully Senator McCain will win the election, because Senator Lieberman, will probably not be caucusing with the Democrats during the next session of Congress.
What a loyal piece, he is. Totally campaiging against Senator Obama on Senator McCain's behalf. Can anybody spell traitor?

Polls have Senator Obama ahead of Senator McCain by one point, another poll has Mr. McCain up by five points over Mr. Obama. It has been my theory that the polls are not taking into consideration, those young people and those who do not use land line phones, and are not contacted by the pollsters. This would effectively give Obama a five to seven point lead over McCain, with a Bradley effect of a minus two points. Bradley was the black candidate running in California with people telling the pollsters they would vote for him, and at the booth did not. Total it up and Obama is at least five points ahead of McCain, at any given point in time. A five point difference on election day is a landslide, according to a renown pollster. I also think that Obama's choice for Vice-President will be announced on Thursday morning. Possibly it will be Senator Joe Biden, according to reports, but it would be great if he shocked everyone and picked General Colin Powell. Could the Universe handle that combination? I think that would be good-bye John McCain. Just a thought ;o)!

The three choices most talked about, are Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia, Senator Evan Byah of Indiana, and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico. Senator McCain is to set to make his announcement, on his seventy second birthday, which is August 29. His possible picks for Vice-President include, Governor Charlie Christ, of Florida, former Governor Mitt Romney, of Massachuetts, and former Governor Tom Ridge, of Pennsylvania.

*

At a forum on religious values, entited the Saddleback Forun, Saturday, hosted by Reverend Rick Warren, who wrote,"The Purpose Driven Life" a best seller, Senator Obama and Senator McCain answered questions presented by the Reverend. Senator Obama went first, Senator McCain was supposed to be in a sound proof room of sorts, it turns out that Senator McCain was riding in a motorcade as Senator Obama was speaking, and could have had access to some of the questions, as he rode to the church where the forum was being held. On Sunday's Meet the Press, Andrea Mitchell, reported the story of McCain not being hidden away. The McCain camp, is now requesting a meeting with NBC, to protest what Mitchell reported on Sunday. Imagine that, a future potential president protesting reports from the press. Would that be suppress the press, as in Contitutional amendment freedom of speech by the press? Wow! Just a little something to think about, as Mr. McCain is always speaking of country first, does that include the constitution of the country as well?

May your day go well, and your night go even better.
