1) The Early Word: The Home Stretch by Michael Falcone discussed McCain's speech from last night. I thought it was interesting how he noted that McCain used the word "fight" 43 times in a single speech. I find that surprising. McCain wants to fight to be nominated as President of the United States, but are there other things that he wants to fight for? Does he want to continue to fight in war?
2) Hundreds of Protesters Arrested: Colin Moynihan talked about Thursday afternoon's protests that occurred just an hour before McCain's speech. I find it astonishing that there were so many protests during the RNC rather than the DNC, or at least that we've heard about. Hundreds of marchers were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly.
3) I paid attention to the RNC much like I did the DNC--both as a want to understand each party. The RNC to me seemed a lot more spirited, but in a negative manner. The republican party seemed to discriminate more against the democratic supporters and Obama himself. I think that they could have been a little more classy and focused more on uniting America as a whole, rather than republican vs. democratic.
