None of the big three Dem blog frontpagers really touched the family. But there are a lot of people out there who want to know why her family's off limits when the platform her party's running on won't keep its nose out of everyone else's families.
The O campaign is still focusing on McCain in stump speeches and ads. The Democratic party has never really embraced the whole "strict lockstep on message from the top down." That just ain't the nature of the beast.
It is annoying to see so many people going on about "a PTA mom/hockey mom/mother/babywearer/woman in the white house" and have to remind them that John McCain ain't ded yet, but it is really frickin' scary to think that PTA politics is going to be that close to the red button. I'm hip-deep in PTO right now and it's enough to give a sane person a case of the hives.
Personally, my favorite personal theory is that they weren't looking for a VP...just a young and healthy host for the Eternal Spirit of Ghoulish Evilness that is Dick Cheney to inhabit. The current one's looking a little corpsey around the edges.
Ah well, back to the Science Channel. Fifty-some more days until the silliness is over. Maybe I will spring for HBO, if only for TrueBlood, because the fifteen minutes of it that I saw looked awesome as all get-out.
