Actually, Sarah Palin isn't the first female VP candidate--Geraldine Ferraro was. She ran on the Democratic ticket with Walter Mondale back in 1984. (I turned 18 that year and that was the first election that I voted in!)
I'm loving True Blood, although I agree the series is still trying to find its feet. I'm on the fifth of the eight books of the "Southern Vampire" series. The show is better than the books in some ways because it does put more emphasis on the supporting characters. The books are very Sookie-centric and she can be a bit of a Mary-Sue at times.
All the sex is a bit much. It's like "Whatever, let's get back to the story, mkay?" But if they include even half of the weird things that pop up in the books, this series will be cracktastic, and that's what I'm waiting for.
PS: Keep your eye on Eric, the blonde vampire that shows up in episode 4. He plays a major ongoing role and is a lot of fun to watch.
