What a Week!

What an election year. So much history is being made. Barack Obama is the first African-American to be nominated for President. Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, named as John McCain's Vice-President pick. The first Republican woman chosen to run for VP. The Democrats convention thunder stolen from them by the news... wow. Brilliant on McCain's part. Two months and change until November 4th. I am not that excited about the candidates. I am excited about the democratic process. And isn't that what it really is all about?
