the buzz around my workplace is my barometer. People at work know that I'm a political junkie, and they always come to me with their elation and/or concerns, and since the Palin media frenzy, they're not talking to me about politics. I hope the Obama campaign has something in store for us to get the buzz back.

I agree with you about the media, they're finally doing the vetting that McCain obviously didn't. I just hope that there's something big in the works. Also, when does Joe Biden get a sitdown interview in prime time? I understand that Gibson was introducing Palin to the electorate, but is it just assumed that everyone already knows Joe? The Obama campaign could take a lesson from McCain's camp, and attack the media more? I don't know.........
