Tonight is an historic night. Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee...the first African American presidential nominee. (We here at PD & J know deep down that it was this blog's endorsement that put him over the top. NBC news projected that we are worth 0.0001 super delegates.) However, one man tried to get in on this historic night, crash the party if you will: John McCain.
We were just watching his speech in Louisiana. Despite what the talking heads on cable news say, it was an awful speech. Both Hillary and Barack are head and shoulders above him in terms of their ability to inspire. To me, it sounded like an old man reading a story to a child. That's partly because he WAS reading it. And it was almost as if there were cues to him for different forms of nonverbal communication, gestures. *Smile here* *Chuckle here* *Nod head knowingly here* *Shake head for affect here*
Luckily, MSNBC cut him off early to announce that Obama had essentially won the nomination by garnering enough of the vote in South Dakota.
Also, it reminded me of the Andy Dick bit where he played Bush's speech writer. Watch it!

This comment has nothing to do with your post, other than the title. Made me think of my Grandpa Webber and how he used to always sing "You are my Sunshine" in my ear :) He'd also ask, "Did I tell you yet today that I love you?" I'd answer, "No," and he'd say, "Well, I do!" And then he would smile and laugh. *tear*
