Republican National Convention

First of all: I am not affiliated with affiliated with any political party, and I have NOT “officially” decided on whom I will vote for during the upcoming presidential election.  I think both Democrats and Republicans have good ideas in some areas, but are terribly skewed in others.  I just wish there was a third party that wasn’t so far “left” or “right”.

Now I consider myself as an average Joe, and I don’t have the gift of the magic “pen”, but I wanted to give my opinion.

Now I did watch, or should I say I tried to watch , the Democratic Convention a couple weeks ago.  I just couldn’t get into it. (though I did love Spielberg’s tribute to veteran’s)

So, anyway, tonight I watched night 3 of the Republican Convention, and I must say it was very impressive.  I was impressed with most of the speakers (even the ones that you didn’t see on the major news networks).  Giuliani’s speech was exceptional, but there was one I loved, the speech delivered by Vice Presidential nominee Gov Palin.

Gov. Palin nailed her speech tonight!  I thought it was incredible, especially since I had never heard of Gov. Palin before this week.  Funny, articulate, and well delivered.

I am now watching the “Major” news networks and they are shredding Palin’s speech in many aspects.  I don’t understand why these anchors can’t just keep their personal opinions to themselves.  I am glad you love the “other” candidate, but let me make up my own mind without your two cents. As a matter of fact, all your criticism is further helping me make up my mind, but I digress.

I look forward to Sen. McCain’s speech tomorrow. 

At the risk of changing my mind later, and being called a “flip-flop” supporter… and since my in-laws have been saying I was always on this bandwagon (even when I wasn’t). I now put forth my early, not firm (but in the wet cement that’s quickly drying), and worthless endorsement for:

MCCAIN
