  How about the rest of the resume?

  Barack also used to be a Constitutional Law professor, which is kind of like knowing how the government works, including knowing what the vp does.

  Palin used to be a tv news reporter, which is kind of like being eloquent, only somebody else writes your words for you, and nobody watches you at home and says "damn, that guy makes me remember the things that are great about this country, and makes me feel like they didn't all happen before my lifetime."

  I live in Denver, and I couldn't help comparing the sometimes half-empty hall at the RNC to the energy flowing through this city during the DNC. If the administrations are going to be anything like the convention, you can keep the one that's full of nastiness and bitterness, with journalists and protesters being arrested sometimes even before they arrive in town. Give me the city where people were walking around and smiling even though the streets were crowded. Give me the city where the armed police spent most of their time posing for pictures. Give me the city where people talked about what we could do, that we could do it, that we could all do it and be part of it. Forget all those words--hope, change, country. Break it down past that. At its most basic, the difference between the parties this year is this: Obama's people are walking around saying yes, and Palin and her people are huddled together screaming no.

  I vote yes.
