People – mostly the news media – were concerned when the Republican National Convention was trying to get started. It was going to literally rain on their parade. Natural disasters do not consult with political parties for a convenient time to occur. The GOP did what was needed – curtailing events on their opening night,… Continue reading RNC Final Night
I have to admit I was skeptical before the night starting. The stakes for Sarah Palin’s speech were so high yet someone thought it was a good idea to put her speech after three of the best speakers the GOP has – Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani. I wasn’t sure there was anyway… Continue reading RNC Night 3
Mike Huckabee was sandwiched in between former rivals Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. I think that both Romney and Giuliani were lacking in their speeches. Huckabee, on the other hand, hit it out of the park. I was so impressed. I have taken my notes on his speech and put them in separate post as… Continue reading Mike Huckabee at the RNC – Night 3
I actually had to head out for a run – I actually walked the whole 3.5 miles as I twisted a muscle in my back yesterday morning – early so that I could manage to be showered and planted in front of the television for the RNC. The video productions were unbelievable. Robert Duvall’s narration… Continue reading RNC Night Two
I was, until now an hour and half prior to the actual announcement, becoming more and more impressed with the GOP operation. I could not believe that the McCain vice presidential choice had not leaked yet. I was amazed at the efforts the campaign was going to in covering up who the final choice was. … Continue reading Leaks Abound
Okay, so Tuesday morning, I was contemplating watching college football openers on Thursday night. I still am. Tuesday’s convention evening was better than Monday’s but still way too much talking heads and not enough convention coverage for me. Wednesday night was equally disappointing. I realize that I live on the East coast. I cannot think… Continue reading Convention Day 3
See Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad Okay, so now I have not only heard but watched this spoof. I realize that Paris’s mom was annoyed that McCain blasted her “pretty in pink” baby in one of his ads since the Hiltons have given his campaign $4600. But could someone have stopped this from coming… Continue reading Paris Hilton Responds
Okay, so everyone was up in arms over The New Yorker’s cover that was a caricature of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. What will people think about Vanity Fair’s caricature of John McCain and his wife Cindy, which is a spoof? Vanity Fair Cover Now, the first thing I notice is the hand full… Continue reading Vanity Fair Hits GOP Candidate with Spoof
Ah, a headline like that is definitely what McCain’s campaign doesn’t need. What else can be said, though, after McCain’s own admission that he doesn’t know how to get online yet? I admit I telecommute so spend more time on a computer than a lot of people. I have had a web site since the… Continue reading John McCain and the 21st Century
… John McCain. John McCain does not speak for me. I have to say that I have been waiting for a politician to decide to tell the American people something that they need to hear and that they do not want to hear. While Gramm’s comments on Americans being whiners is not quite what I… Continue reading Phil Gramm does not speak for …
