By now everybody knows that Obama picked Joe Biden as his running mate. I think its a good pick, although history has shown that to win, somebody on the ticket needs to be from the south. Biden is from Delaware which isn’t exactly Georgia, although some people might consider Delaware kind of the south. What I find alarming about this pick is that when you put the two last names together, what does it look like? You all know I’m as liberal as they get and am a pretty big Obama supporter. But when I saw an Obama-Biden sign in the paper (you know the ones that have Obama’s name on top and Biden’s directly under it) I did a double take at what it COULD look like. And although I’d like to think most people are smart enough to look past what it looks like, we should not over look the dirty, scummy ways of the Republicans. Subliminally the signs could be changed and although I don’t know if doing things subliminally actually effects people, leave it to the Republicans to try to find a way. All I know is that this is too close of a race to take a chance on wondering if the connection of the names will have an effect. Never underestimate the lengths that the Republicans will go to steal an election. They will lie, cheat, steal, forge, embellish, cover up, and pay off to win an election. I’ve been saying all along that I thought they would win this election because they will find a way to steal it. That being said, the Democrats are the ones who are usually dumb enough to do shit to not only lose but also help the Republicans along the way. Shit, McCain is even using Hillary Clinton in some of his ads. And now this, its almost like they are gift wrapping this tactic for the Republicans to use. And I’m sure that Obama didn’t even consider the names together issue when he made the choice. Or perhaps he said “I realize it, but fuck those bastards, I’m going to do it anyway”. And I’m sure Biden is a fine choice and would probably make a good VP. Either way, this is just more ammo that can be used against the Democrats.
Hell, if I see it, anybody can see it. And if you don’t see it please let me know because I want to know if I’m the only person out there who sees it.

I didn’t see it until some blogger pointed it out (not you), but I think it’s a sham. I think those kinds of nuances are lost on the average voter when he/she pulls up to the pump or checks out the cost of a container of figs at the grocery store, as I did today. Actually, they had some grenola crunch, with chocolate. It looked delicious, but a bag was $4.95, and it didn’t weigh as much as my…uh…part. I had to skip that.
This election is going to be won or loss on the economy and the war. And I think Obama is going to win. And so does Jimmy Carter, as I heard him say on the radio (NPR) today.
