Just some quickies about stuff on the edges:

1. The Code Pink protesters were idiots who pissed off this anti-war voter who wanted to hear what Sen. McCain had to say.

2. I was stunned by how bad Cindy McCain’s hair looked.

3. Only 36 out of 2,800 delegates were black, but we got a TV visual of all three dozen.

4. There were some medical malpractice face lifts in that crowd. OMFG!

5. Although the on-the-floor reporter for NBC said there were tears on faces in the crowd, I didn’t see it like you did in Denver when no one had to tell you because it was so obvious people were moved.

6. I laughed when the screen behind the senator was green because I remember that awful episode in Louisiana earlier in the campaign. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try “green screen” as a YouTube or Google search.

7. In the 24 hours since Palin’s speech, $10 million was raised — by Obama.

8. It’s now official that both candidates are running on the same platform: “I’m not Bush”.

9. It looked like maybe a third of the crowd was just too old and feeble to “stand up and fight!”

10. It used to be, when I heard a Republican speak, I thought “what an ass!”, but now that Gov. Palin’s on the ticket … nevermind.
