Obama seems so ordinary now

Who let the air out of Barack Obama's campaign on the eve of the Democratic National Convention?

Oh, yeah, it was Barack Obama himself. The choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden for his vice presidential running mate was greeted with a deafening silence. I was at a soccer practice this morning with my son and there was about a dozen parents milling about waiting for the kids to finish. Not one word about Obama's pick. Nobody seems to care anymore.

All that suspense. All that excitement about the text message business. (By the way, if you're one of the millions of Obama-maniacs who thought you'd get the new first, don't you feel a little silly today? The news leaked out overnight, long before the Obama camp sent out its text message.)

Anyway, here's what some of my favorite blogs have to say about the Obama-Biden ticket:

PAWaterCooler says the Obama/Biden pairing is the "Contradiction Ticket."

Gunservatively! says "It's an admission that Obama's inexperience has finally begun worrying voters."

Is This Life? says by picking Biden, Obama "throws in the towel."

Page 13 News brags that he predicted the Obama/Biden ticket 10 days ago.

From NEPALibWatch: NEPAConservative says: "As if Tony Rezko and William Ayers wont be enough of a problem, now Barack has got Joe Biden’s mouth to contend with."

Along the same lines, SAVE THE GOP says "Biden's Own Words To Bite Him."

Also check out the Obama's Con blog for comments Joe Biden made about Obama last year.
