So how do you top Barack Obama speaking to 80,000+ rabid Democrats in a speech that rivals JFK, Martin Luthor King and Abraham Lincoln?
You try and make a woman vice-president.
Last night as I watched Barack Obama's impassioned stadium speech, I wondered whether people were going to buy him for his personality or for the production value of his speeches.

John McCain (or the party, because who really knows if he truly made the choice himself) has made a very daring decision. Sarah Palin is someone that could be the answer to all those PUMAs out there who were desperately holding out this week, but she's a complete contradiction in terms. A pro-life feminist who has a son deploying to Iraq, and yet she represents the latest stab at the glass ceiling where Hillary Clinton just came up short.
As a Canadian, I should have little to no interest in the US presidential race. But as a people watcher, it's been more hours of entertainment than Hollywood has even tried to churn out in the last few years.
