11. Great pics!
Don't you wish they would have put on the jerseys before they left the stage? (Or am I weird?)

Also, I can't even imagine McCain and Cindy OR Palin and Todd doing a head bump. Neither of those couples show any real warmth toward one another. Whereas the Obamas and Bidens... :loveya:

24. McCain and Cindy doing a head bump?
Ewwwwwwwwwwww! x(

It's getting near dinner......please clean it up. How can I enjoy my clam chowder with a vision of botox squirting out the seams of both McCain's foreheads?

Yuck...

25. Agreed. All four of them are highly intelligent.
And the fact that they're poised to win in November gives me hope there aren't enough idiots to totally ruin this country.

29. All four with post-graduate degrees
I know both Biden's teach at community colleges and Sen. Obama also has taught classes - does Michelle Obama teach as well?

None of the republican team has a post graduate degree or has done any work to pass on their knowledge :shrug:

38. I love that magazine cover with Stewart & Colbert on it.
That is hilarious. It sure puts the New Yorker in perspective because theirs is funny and TNY is not.

34. Detroit Free Press estimated about 30,000 people were at the rally today.
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080928/NEWS15/80928016

He said he’ll cut taxes on the middle class, eliminate the capital gains tax on small businesses and start up companies. And he pounded on Republican presidential candidate John McCain for his past records of support for deregulation.

“My opponent, John McCain, talks about getting tough on Wall Street now, but you can’t make up for 26 years in 26 days,” Obama told the crowd, estimated at about 30,000 people. “He’s been against the common-sense rules and regulations that could’ve stopped this problem.”

and are lost in each other for a moment. Those two have one of the most real and loving relationships I have ever seen :loveya:
