Last night, after John McCain's big speech at the Republican National Convention, I was in a convention media room doing some television interviews for KGMB-TV 9 in Honolulu.
After Reporter Ramsay Wharton finished interviewing me, I happened to walk past a FOX Newschannel media booth. The discussion happening on the set at FOX at that moment was about whether or not Barack Obama will need to "drop" Joe Biden from his ticket, simply because, in the face of the Republican V.P. nominee Sarah Palin, Joe Biden might be ineffectual.
In one sense, this discussion seemed silly to me. Obama cannot, with credibility, "drop" the man he picked to be his running mate three weeks ago, nor will he. However, the very fact that this discussion was taking place demonstrates how dramatically Governor Palin's presence in this race has changed it all - - literally, "everything" about this year's White House race.
I'm in flight today - - more when I return home...
