Man, there were some real stem-winders during that four-day convention. I'll be watching to see how the GOP counters next week. It'll be interesting to see how John McCain tries to separate himself from the eight-year Bush administration, but still tries to maintain conservative principles while countering Obama. Unlike an overtime football game, it might not work out to the GOP advantage to have had the Democrats "go first". But we'll see.

I'll be particularly interested whether they can line up speakers for their four-day affair that are as effective as the lineup the Dems put up.

How in the world did Al Gore ever lose to George Bush anyway? He was terrific tonight. As I recall he was "wooden" and had no personality eight years ago. Tonight he was very effective, I thought.

We still need a whole lot more detail from both candidates before Election Day, though.

Senator Obama took the gloves off! YEAH! This was a historical night, indeed. IMHO he hit every point from the past and every point yet to come. He certainly took the wind out of McCain's sails. Again, I can't wait for the debates. The speech tonight was the one, two punch. The debates will be the knockout!

You know I was thinking about how great he was too. And asked myself the same question....and here is what self answered back.

"Ofcourse he seemed boring after good old Bill! We had 8 yeats of Bill Clinton....the ultimate speaker! Poor Al never had a chance....but he has come a long way....winning an Oscar, etc!"

I thought that was pretty good insight so I thought I might share with you Kahuna!

He did a great job last night!

We have a lot of things that need to be fixed in this country. I hope that one of the candidates has the leadership capabilities to direct efforts towards the oil crisis, the trade crisis, the war, and the economy not necessarily in that order. Being at times a liberal, other times a moderate and a fiscal conservative at all times, I think our problems are going to need the combined efforts of both parties and all people.

I don't know who I will vote for.

I have just written something in the political forum. I have completely been taken over by TOTV. OMIGOD.

ME too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a "proud American" too. Proud that we finally have an All American ticket for which to vote in November. NO MORE questions about change, we are going to have it. McCain/Palin in November!

What kind of code is an "American ticket"?

All American ticket! What does that mean? My husband's mother came from Ireland.

Would that disqualify him from being on an "All American ticket"?

No code to it. Obama is a globalist/multiculturalist with a vast and varied array of colorful and not so American friendly associates, not to mention Davis, his Communist mentor and other friends with terrorist connections.
Obama is a very insecure person with a severe complex that stems from his African father's abandonment of him. At the same time, he is a hater of white people, this stems from his connections with his black grandparents and parents Luo tribe in Africa. This we do not need or want as our President. There is a hidden agenda, read all you can about him and you will find it unbelieveable, if you are a true American.
I can't believe there are a handful of so called Americans who would vote for the guy, he is so un-American.

If black folks born and raised in the USA call themselves African American.....what are white folks born here in the USA called? Spanish American? Italian American? French American?

I find the much simpler, unifying term of....American...more defining of the born here citizenry.

Sorry, but I find this to be a completely racist statement. Also, like to point out "A handful of Americans" Over 100,000 people will go out of their way to here him speak. Today, McCain had to bus in people to try to fill a high school gym. I think you're going to find more than your "handful" coming out on Nov 4th to make Senator Obama the next President of the United States. I will vote for him and yes, sid, I am a true American.

Thank you Chelsea...I can't beleive that we have to listen to racist comments like this. It is the year 2008....don't you think it is time for everyone to grow up. Color of skin just doesn't matter anymore. There are many white people in this world that are that are much less educated then Obama and still think they are superior. After seeing the crowd in Denver I would agree that there are certainly more than a handful of people voting for him...I will be in line~!!

I can't believe you just posted that. It was racist and ugly. I am so not inviting you to my birthday party.

I fear that many white men on the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder are very resentful of his education, class, success, etc. What a shame. I think he took out huge loans to pay for his education. Most of us make our choices in life. He made the right one.

You said "Obama is a very insecure person with a severe complex that stems from his African father's abandonment of him." Gee, how do you know that? Do you hang with him??

While I do not condone racist remarks in any way,wondering why you folks who are expressing disgust with this comment dont do the same with the AGE comments or the various comments about Gov Palin...I just read a poem making fun of age and such and it recevied kudos !!!

Just wondering !
