Ramblings

I was watching the replay of the DNC speeches at 3am this morning.

Barack Obama made a surprise appearance after Joe Biden's official acceptance of he VP nomination. Whatever. There are no surprises. So much in campaigning and conventioning is orchestrated. Right down to the signs waved by delegates as Biden repeatedly said, 'More of the same' when speaking about his good friend, John McCain.

I don't begrudge anyone their campaign excitement, but the media insults me when it reports that this was a surprise. I'm not that insulted, however. You gotta do what you gotta do for an audience...for ratings..for a cause...for a campaign. I guess more than anything I am amused , especially since I'm pretty sure on Tuesday I heard some commentators talking about Obama's expected appearance on stage with Biden after the VP acceptance speech.
