BEDTIME.

Between them, Lindsay Graham and Tom Ridge have delivered a jolt of Sominex to this convention. These guys were vice-presidential options? Delegates are trying to pay attention, trying to be good, but they're getting no help from the podium. Ridge makes Mr. Rogers sound like Huey Long.

WAS Lindsey Graham really a VP option? I would have expected him to be, since he's best buddies with McCain, a Southern conservative, etc. But I never heard his name mentioned. Is being a single male in your 40's a death knell? Seems to have doomed Charlie Crist too.
