I think it would be great to keep this seat in the family after all Joe Biden has done for his country and for his state.

At first I thought Jill Biden would make an excellenct choice but as the wife of the Vice-President of the United States I think she is going to be extremely busy and doing some very important work.

So Joe's son Beau who is 39 and Attorney General of Delaware as well as a serving Captain in the National Guard stationed in Iraq makes a lot of sense to me.

So I hereby suggest Beau Biden to fill his father's senate seat.

Looking at MSNBC vote totals for California I noticed that just under 10 million votes had been counted. The California Field Poll was estimating a record turnout of 13.6 million voters on election day.

I suspect voter turnout was not as large as anticipated but this discrepancy means that millions of California votes have probably not been reported yet. My guess is that at least 2 million votes have not yet been reported and the total could reach to over 3 million and even 3.5 million if there was a record turnout.

I spoke with an official of the California Secretary of State's office and she verified that only semi-official totals are available for mail-in or absentee ballots whatever that means. I was told that considerably more absentee/mail-in vote totals would be available by tomorrow but that individual counties have 28 days to report their final totals. Over 6 million people were expected to vote absentee/mail-in so it's entirely possible quite a large number of votes have not been reported for California.

More over the fold.

I just heard that John McCain is in negotiations to return to David Letterman next week around the time of the last debate. I don't think Barack Obama should let Senator McCain have a monopoly on the talk show circuit during the last four weeks of the campaign.

Senator Obama needs to hit the talks shows again during the last month of the campaign. BIll Clinton used the talk shows to great effect when he was running for President in 1992 and 1996 and Barack Obama should do the same.

I think Barack Obama will get a very enthusiastic response with the Tonight show audience and with the Letterman audience.

I would even go so far as to suggest appearances on Rachael Ray, Bonnie Hunt, and Ellen. The View would be another good place to make an appearance. I most definitely think he should also make an appearance on Oprah.

He could even consider appearances on Jimmie Kimmel's and Craig Ferguson's shows although since they are on so late and their audiences are relatively small he simply might not have time for these shows.

Don't Care, because it's time to be arrogant and say no way can Senator Obama lose this thing.

I believe given the dramatic happenings in the finacial world that the focus of the first debate should be changed to economic and domestic issues from foreign policy. Our focus right now needs to be on domestic issues and the economy. In particular, we need to hear what the candidates have to say on the economy given the current financial crisis.
