Reasons why John McCain chose Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin could grab woman votes for John McCain because she is a woman. McCain said that she has deep principles. She has had a life long member ship in the Nationial Rife Association (NRA), meaning that she is for gun rights and so is John McCain. She is against gay marriage, I don't know if John McCain is for gay marriage. Her son is going to war in Iraq in Sept. 2008, and she is for the war. She has a very high approval rating in Alaska from the 80s-90s in percentage. She is in good shape, she was a high school championship athlete in high school and still manages to stay fit. She is a Christian just like John McCain. She is 44, so McCain wouldn't be bringing another old person in office. She also wants tighter control on government spending, she also wants energy independence. She is probably the best pick for him, I think she should've ran for president. She is actually better than him! :)

The Democratic Convention was overall...

Pretty good I guess, the part I liked the most about it is when Hilary asked for Obama to win and to stop the Roll Call, and it happened. So Obama won by Acclamation. Obama was real mean to John McCain on his acceptance speech last night. Al Gore Spoke, Hilary Spoke, Biden spoke, Bill Clinton spoke, people act like that was the best speech. Bill Clinton's speech was okay, I didn't post about it because its not that important. The best speechs were Hilary's and Barack's. I could not stand the "Madame Secretary" that was running the roll call, she sounds like a witch.

Barack Obama's Speech

Pretty much, Obama's speech was summed up to: I'm great, My Family's Great, McCain's not, oh yeah, were all equal, Vote for me. That's pretty much how it was. It was a Great speech, but it was a little short. It was approximately 45 minutes. Dick Durbin spoke before Barack Obama did, who cares? My favorite line of this speech was, "The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America - they have served the United States of America."
Thats true, we need to unite! Joe Biden made a little speech last night. America, vote for your favorite candidate, whether its Barack Obama or John McCain, whether you hold a sign saying NObama or McLame! Just Vote! If your too young to vote like me, inspire people, don't tell them too.

Day 2: Democratic Convention

Hilary Clinton delivered the best speech she had ever made last night, in my opinion. She probably changed the minds of thousands of people who were going to vote for McCain because Hilary didn't make it. I liked that speech, and I am a Republican. Her speech was a little bit like her old speechs, talked about a man that cant get health care and he was in the army or something, and this Woman trying to survive minimum wage. She was also being nice with Barack Obama, but not mentioning the things she said about him in the past. I believe a political convention is 2 things, 1. is to reunite members in the party and 2. is to get people to vote for the Candidate.



I try to stay balanced for your needs. That why I am covering the Convention. Bill Clinton is going to speak tonight. If you want more information about the convention go to : http://www.demconvention.com

Obama chose Biden as his Vice President

Barack Obama chose Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) as his Vice Presidential Pick. Last time I posted, it was Hilary and Obama, well Obama won finally. Since then not many things has happen, McCain and Obama just keep attacking each other. Clinton supporters are mad that Hilary wasn't chosen. Joe Biden was a former candidate for president. Obama text messaged his supporters who his Vice President would be because most of his supporters are young and have a cell phone. The Democratic National Convention began today, August 25, 2008. CNN.com questioned a ton of voters and 47% chose Obama and 47% chose McCain as they are Equal.
