Ahhh... That's Why

Now I think I get it. I kept going over it in my head. Over and over. Why would Obama announce Biden as his running mate on a Friday night/Saturday morning??? BECAUSE... no one watches the news on the weekends and the majority of Biden bashing and a good chunk of McCain's initial response was going to come immediately following the announcement. So they buried it in the weekend news so that after the spewing occurred they would know how to respond once everyone was listening again. At least that is what I think. Already I can imagine the rebuttals to McCain's ad reminding us all of Biden's being unsure of Obama's being ready to lead us from "Day One." Obama has been saying for over a week now that he wants no "yes men" around him. He wants people who are going to challenge him. What better proof than choosing someone who already has. The more I think about it the more I feel happy with Obama's choice. We have had 8 years of conformity. What we need now is intellectually based dissent.
