I've been bored out of my mind with this convention. Here's some of my opinions however. I can appreciate Joe Lieberman's speech and really enjoyed the way he presented himself. I think he was very classy and supported McCain without putting down Obama or making himself look like an asshole. I can appreciate Rudy's point related to the sexism card, and how come no one asks Obama about having enough time to be President and a father...no one ever thinks about that, so I will give that point to Rudy. I can appreciate Palin's feelings about Obama and the media etc. However, I wish Sarah Palin had been given a better speech. I think that the speech they gave her lacked any substance at all, I never heard anything about any issues that were significant. One jab about Obama wanting to meet with Iran, well Reagan met with Iran too so let's get over ourselves.
Another thing that I have found lacking is anyone under the age of 35. It seems that these people are all quite a bit older than those that went to the Democratic convention, and whereas I am sure the base has been energized I was bored. I was never part of the base. I have always been a Libertarian Republican, and now I just vote Libertarian because I feel the Republican party is going in a direction that I don't want to go down. I think it is unreasonable to be touting this speech as a wonderful speech. Yes, it was well delivered, but there was very little quality to be worthy of extraction. I hope that McCain's speech tonight will lay out a plan to move ahead, because I feel a real hunger to understand what the party is thinking.
Until next time, I am still voting Libertarian it's the only way to take back this country.

I really liked the spirit of Governor Sarah Palin, she seemed to be a real pro. I thought that the speech could have been focused more, I thought it jumped around a little, but I liked how she presented herself and she seemed very confident.
