The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got eggs Benedict this morning, or eggs Florentine for the vegetarians (or for people like me, who just like eggs Florentine better…) I’m girding my loins preparing for That Other Convention tomorrow, but I feel like a little kid… “Mom, do I have to?” Have a good day.

Watch the whole thing and see if you can spot the pregnant woman. Perhaps she was selected over Lieberman for the Israeli flag affixed to her office window (see image on landing page).

The baby was her daughters.

I think the main value of a wedding is that if your relationship can survive the process of planning a wedding, the marriage has a chance to be successful. We are sometimes being tested (grin).

Of course, you’re invited!

Surprise? First Two National Polls Find Palin Gains LESS Support from Women

NEW YORK The first national polls on John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin yesterday came out today from Rasmussen and Gallup — and contrary to what the GOP probably hoped, she scored less well with women than men.

Here’s a finding from Gallup: Among Democratic women — including those who may be disappointed that Hillary Clinton did not win the Democratic nomination — 9% say Palin makes them more likely to support McCain, 15% less likely… …Gallup is now out with its own initial poll. It also shows women with a slightly less favorable view of Palin. An excerpt from USA Today:

There is wide uncertainty about whether she’s qualified to be president. In the poll, taken Friday, 39% say she is ready to serve as president if needed, 33% say she isn’t and 29% have no opinion.

That’s the lowest vote of confidence in a running mate since the elder George Bush chose then-Indiana senator Dan Quayle to join his ticket in 1988. In comparison, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was seen as qualified by 57%-18% after Democrat Barack Obama chose him as a running mate last week…..

Dontcha just love it…? ;-)
