Thank You Obama

First: Thank you, Barack Obama. He lacked the confidence or the strength 
to ask Hillary Clinton, recipient of some 18 million votes, to join him on 
the ticket. Such a ticket, uniting and exciting the Democratic party, 
would have been hard to beat in this Democratic year. Having ruled out 
Clinton, Obama then lacked the nerve to double down on the theme of 
change, by selecting, say, Virginia governor Tim Kaine or Kansas governor 
Kathleen Sebelius. A change versus experience election wouldn't have been 
a bad bet for Obama. Instead, he settled on an unimpressive vice 
presidential pick, a long-time, long-winded overrated senator from a safe 
state, who gave him no lift at all in the polls, and offers no prospect of 
doing so.

Second: Thank you, John McCain. He showed guts with his pick of Sarah 
Palin. He also demonstrated a shrewd strategic sense.
