A brief, irreverant thought about nominating conventions
2008-09-04So, I am work and listening to the Palin speech. She speek gud. And, with my disinterested observer hat on, she really slipped in some zingers, too, which I enjoyed. Even at the points where I disagree.
But all this makes me think about nominating conventions. Honestly, they remind me of football games, except that they’re packed with poli-sci majors. The attitude is the same. Drink your beer, cheer your team, and play armchair quarterback.
Is this really the best way to choose the leader of a nation? No wonder the rest of the world thinks we’re scary and unreliable.
