Being a college football fanatic, I am thrilled that it is back and had a hard time concentrating on the DNC last night as I flipped between three games on my television.

I was, until now an hour and half prior to the actual announcement, becoming more and more impressed with the GOP operation. I could not believe that the McCain vice presidential choice had not leaked yet. I was amazed at the efforts the campaign was going to in covering up who the final choice was.
