GOP National Convention

The night before the headline speach of John McCain we had a chance to get to know an unfamilier face in Sarah Paplin the VP running mate. At first glance I was quite disappointed with Mr. McCain's choice in running mate and am still alittle unsure of the decision but her speech this evening calmed my nerves alittle. It seems as though the down to earth "mother" might be able to grab so undecided votes especially women. She was quite the elequent speaker. She carried herself very well and although there are still many questions looming about her past and her family matters I think the GOP has something to be happy about. As long as something doesn't go seriously wrong over the next two months the elections seem to be in the GOP's favor. With John McCain giving his exceptance speech tomorrow it will be interesting to see how well the party rallies around McCain. If it is anything like the democrat national convention the party should rally very well behing their candidate and we should be in for a good battle over the next few months. Election times are always fun if you enjoy politics and very long and boring to those that don't but my recently found interest in politics has gotten me quite excited about his elections even if I don't think McCain was the best choice for the Republican party. The Republicans have something to look forward to. The ackward ticket could turn into a winning ticket.
