A lot of you have seen the speech, some have not. Overall, high marks for contents. Very high. I think he brought out the right issues, positions, and comparisons with Obama. He’s working out the differences, which he needs to continue to do. Probably the three key areas that he addressed and should continue to [...]
Just a few minutes away from John McCain’s big speech.
It will be interesting to see how it compares to Palin’s.
David Gergen at CNN is apparently a little bit disconnected as HE stated that others were disconnected who said that Democrats were running Washington. Gergen’s perspective is apparently that the party of the President dictates who [...]
During Rudy Giuliani’s speech at the Republican National Convention tonight, the crowd got so stirred up on the oil drilling issue, they interrupted his speech for a couple of minutes while they chanted (I believe):
“Drill, Baby, Drill!”
It was another inspiring moment produced spontaneously by a group who clearly believe we should use and manage the [...]
Tonight’s speech by Sarah Palin was a smashing hit!

As much as he’s saying about John and [...]
Due to events surrounding the imminent landfall of hurricane Gustav, Monday’s Republican National Convention activities will be toned down substantially. John McCain has requested that only the minimum required activities under the Party’s rules be conducted, eliminating prime-time broadcasting… official business probably only running from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
President Bush and Vice-President Cheney [...]

On the Republican side, the increase in McCain’s position in the polls, slow as it is in coming, is a reflection of the unity that is starting to build within the Republican Party. I think what you’re really seeing is that as the various state conventions come to a close, and people have finished jockeying [...]
