as I said to my stepfather after Biden's speech yesterday:

Mith: Oh, that's our vice president.

Stepfather: No, that's the democratic vice presidential candidate.

Mith: No, that's our vice president. Obama didn't make a stupid choice, because he's not a stupid man.

I CANNOT WAIT TO VOTE THAT MAN INTO OFFICE.

I am so excited about him, and voting, and the resurgence of political rhetoric as a valid communicative tool in America (ehee.)

It's been forever -- it's been EVER -- since I felt this way about politics.
