Saving the big mo'

I just turned on MSNBC, and Shuster and Harwood were talking about the decision by the Obama camp to limit pre-convention appearances by Obama and Biden to the event in Springfield at noon (Pacific). The notion is to save the novelty of Obama and Biden campaigning together until after the convention, thereby increasing media interest in Obama-Biden events in the days following the Democratic convention. It's a smart move -- and should make it much easier for the Obama camp to step all over McCain's plans for the start of the GOP convention.

By the way, did I mention that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were both speaking on the first day of the GOP convention? That's gonna' be must-see TV. Heheh.
