The Oklahoma Bidens

The boys have enjoyed watching the political parties' conventions. They are very into the states right now, and there are all these big tall signs that say ALABAMA, TEXAS, MAINE, etc., etc. What's not to love?

They are somewhat confused, however, by the McCain-Palin and Obama-Biden signs. First, they think all this must be sports-related - why else would there be a big crowd of cheering people holding signs? Second, Joseph reads "Obama" as "Oklahoma." We've tried to explain the presidential election to them, and what the president is. You know, he's the head of our country, the leader of the free world, etc. Joseph thought about this awhile, and then asked, "So, are the Oklahoma Bidens a real team?"
