Your Viceroy

Well, who will serve alongside of John McCain as the Vice President of the United States of America?

Sadly, but consistently, my faith is the American democratic process is dissipating. However, this is not some conspiracy against "the establishment", this is a theory that the American people have helped me formulate. I would prefer that Barack Obama lead our nation, but I just don't know if that is going to happen.

I'm starting to get the feeling that many people felt after the 2004 Election, "This candidate couldn't win." Granted, Obama isn't running against the political wunderkind that is George W. Bush. It's still an uphill battle, and McCain plays dirty.

For much of last night, I thought, "Please. Please let Obama choose a dynamite candidate." I was hoping he'd announce today that his running mate was none other than Al Gore. I knew he wouldn't pick Clinton, there is an air of mental breakdown that surrounds her. Not to mention, her secret hatred for Obama.

The gas stations have been advertising a new flavor, "Election Time Gas". All of the sudden 70 cents disappeared from the price of gas. From what I understand the stock price of crude oil has been fluctuating in favor of consumers for about a month, but I can't believe that the impeding election has nothing to do with it. I remember the 2006 election season. I think that was the last time gas was under $3/gallon, and within two weeks after the election the price was back to normal.

Personally, I love the idea of Sen. Biden. He's got political experience, he's got knowledge of foreign affairs, he has a son that is being deployed to Iraq, he has persevered through devastating personal tragedy, and I hear he commutes to work from Delaware. He wears a Navy Blue Collar. However, I'm sure much of that will disappear now that he's the vice presidential candidate.

Realistically, the legitimacy that Biden brings to this campaign will be overlooked by any one that isn't already planning to vote for Obama. Senator Joe Biden is the type of candidate my father could vote for...but he won't. He'll be flying a McCain flag. I can feel it. My father is a modern Everyman, and I can see his patterns being followed by most Americans.

All and all, I ask you this question, and you have 6 years to answer it:

Is America lost?
