Ratings: McCain has the slight edge over Obama: Over 41 million people watched McCain's acceptance speech, compared to the 38.3 million that watched Obama's. McCain's speech also had more people watching then his vice-president Palin's speech had. With her speech having 37.2 million watchers. What really surprises me about this artical is that according to it, Obama barely beat out McCain's Vice-president's speech let alone McCains. It shows that McCain has either a lot more support then Obama or at least that more people care what he has to say.
Palin Fund-Raises by Slamming Democrates: In Palin's letter thanking her and McCain's supporters she talks negatively about all the demorates taliking badly about her personal life. Including things such as her 17 year old daughter's pregnancy. But at the same time both Obama and his running mate Biden, have said that a candidates personal life should be off limits, and not be included in the voting process.
Once again I didnt even make an effort to watch any of the speeches, even though that I see myself as a Republican. Pretty much for the same reasons that I did not watch the Democratic convention. I just see these speeches as lieing to us, to get our votes. But once they get in office its back to their own priorities. I did catch a glimpsh at one of the speeches (not even sure whose) while on my way to turn on the tv. But all it was was a guy on stage saying "McCain wants to do this..... but his oppenent wont!" and then a bunch of people that most likely didnt even know what was said screamed "YEAH MCCAIN! GO MCCAIN!". After seeing this I just cared even less then I did before. Good luck to who ever wins.
