Another story about VEEP picks
For about 5 years I've taken communion every Sunday to an elderly member of our parish. First I brought it to her husband and her at their home, then for a while, I'd pick her up and we'd go to the nursing home together and have communion there. Her husband passed away, so now I bring it to her again at her home. She is a 93 year old, strongly prolife republican.

She brought up the convention and said she had watched the speeches. Her summary.

"I don't like any of them. I especially don't like McCain's choice for vice president." "She says she is prolife but doesn't put her kids first. That baby is so young." "she doesn't have any experience." "Biden I like." "Obama is very smart."

I don't think it will make much difference because I'm sure her son helps her with her absentee ballot, but I told her Biden's story of going home every night to be with his sons.


But her reaction surprised me.

1. Once again proving Obama has better decision making then McGrumpster
Biden is going to appeal to lots of working class people who Hillary appealed to. Palin will get the fundies but they had no where to go anyways.
