Speaker: Senator John McCain
Alright, its over! And by that, I mean both McCain's speech and the convention. This speech was dull to put it nicely, though comparing him to Barack Obama is more than unfair. I swear, i must have been asleep through most of it. the only saving grace was the ending, not only because it was the ending, but because of the energy that was seen going into it. By far, this is the McCain that will be needed in the days to come: Palin may bring in youth and exuberance, but McCain has to show he is just 'too old". Someone give that guy some uppers and get him angry at someone, PLEASE! All we want is a little EMOTION! Other than that, is was an okay speech, and drew more views than Obama. I guess that's a plus.

RNC: Day 3
Speaker: Governor Sarah Palin
Let's face it, Sarah Palin is the only real reason why today was so important, so this whole little section goes straight to her! Today was when she introduced formally herself and her family into the national political scene, and she just hit it out of the park. She was eccentric, knowledgable, and seemed to know exactly what was expected of her. Am I the only one who thinks she is the second coming of Ronald Reagon?

RNC: Day 2
Speaker: President George Bush
Wow, I haven’t really been a fan of this guy, and have regularly made fun of his speeches, but this one was good. He did exactly what he needed to do. I mean, Bush was supposed to show McCain as a the Maverick that he is, and show that McCain would stand up to him, even though he was the president and a member of his own party. Shame though, since I really wanted someone to mess up horribly, I mean, the Clinton’s did everything perfectly…Bush did everything perfectly…what’s there for me? Well, Michelle Obama didn’t do much, but neither did Laura Bush or Cindy McCain. Well, we still have a few days left…I can hope right?
Speaker: Fred Thompson
Here’s another headliner. I really don’t like this guy, but once again…good speech. He ended up tackling the issues with Gov. Palin. He also hit the reformist agenda of McCain-Palin, saying that “They won’t care if the gators get angry, they’re drain that swamp!” He did however talk about an exotic dancer called Maria…which doesn’t seem to make sense, but ‘eh, that doesn’t matter. One of the best parts in my opinion was when they talked about McCain’s experience in Vietnam, and his capture. It as another great speech…with a bit of crazy talk. At least we have that to have fun with!
Speaker: Joe Lieberman
This was interesting…a Democrat turned Independent who endorsed John McCain, and was even in the running for becoming McCain’s VP instead of Palin. His speech was kind of…’eh…to be honest. I mean, it was the normal stump speech. Maybe I’m holding the guy to a higher level, but it really wasn’t that impressive. It was more or less “I’m a Democrat turned independent that supports McCain…and you should too. Yeah…okay good.” So yeah…not much here with him.

RNC: Day 1
Speaker: Laura Bush and Cindy McCain
There isn't really much to say here folks. Laura Bush basically came in, got applause that rivaled Bill Clinton, talked about helping people being effected by Hurricane Gustav...and thats about it.
Oh...and she introduced a video dealing with the governors in that area...yeah.
Cindy McCain did much of the same thing. Come out, wait for applause to stop, show them the charities they should donate to so they could help those being effected by the hurricane.
I'm not going to lie...this was most likely the most boring thing I have seen in a long time...and I watch the Senate on CSPAN! To be honest though, they both did use a lot of political talk...until Laura and Cindy got involed. So thats about it...no music...no interesting speeches...no Dennis Kucinich jumping up and down on stage for a while...no nothing.
What I wanna know now is: Where is the relief efort for those who had to watch this thing?
Let's hope tomorrow is better...
