Holy cow, this week has been a srsly epic one in Election 2008 land, especially these past 18 hours. I have loads to say, both about Obama's speech (magnificent) and McCain's VP pick (deliciously awful).

But since I'll be spending the better part of my day zipping around prepping for Bumbershoot, I wanted to create an open thread where imaginary readers can discuss the political news of this most exciting day. So… have at it!

I'm gonna chime in shortly.
