Media Mess 05

Recorded LIVE on ustream.com, Jeff and I talk with special guest Tuan about comic books, tv, some personal issues, some politics. Thanks to everyone that showed up and chatted with us!

“Eight is Enough!”

I have just a few quick political thoughts for today. First, Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last night was exactly what it needed to be. Check out the video here for the full experience, but I’ll leave all of the other analysis to the experts.

Second, kudos to John McCain for ensuring that, either way, a precedent will be set in this year’s election. While I think that the choice of Gov. Palin was, in part, to pander to some of the pro-Hillary crowd, as most of that crowd is pro-Choice, I don’t believe it will be a significant factor in the election. Combine that with a few skeletons, her extreme lack of foreign and domestic policy experience (yes, much more so than Obama), and the very real possibility that McCain might pass on in office, I’m not sure that she’s the safest choice to ensure his victory.

This, I figure I should link to this post on the excellent blog Pulse of Central Florida where I recently posted a rather lengthy comment on exactly what I like support Obama over McCain. This was in response to post about how Obama wasn’t exactly specific on the issues and what he would do as President. While there is a great deal to get excited about by Obama the person, there’s even more excitement and a great deal of detail about Obama the candidate that’s worth pointing out from time-to-time. Here’s to hoping that last night marked the opening salvo of this fall’s election battle.

“Eight is enough!”
