Campaigns shift as McCain choice alters the race

We totally ignored the Democratic conclave last week and had planned to do the same this week with the Republican get-together. Until Gov. Sarah Palin was nominated for VP, that is. This could be entertaining at the very least.

McCain's choice of a running mate comes at a pivotal time in the campaign. It follows what even Republicans said was a successful convention here by Obama. And it comes on the eve of McCain's convention, with Republicans nervously watching Hurricane Gustav as it heads into the Gulf of Mexico, an unwelcome reminder of how the Bush White House's halting response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 hurt the president and his party politically.
