Olivas, Ashley Assingment 3 RNC

1.) Obama, Palin create must-see TV; I found it interesting in the article that 37.2 million people tunned in to the RNC speech of Sarah Palin, 85,00 people witnessed Obama's speech from the Invesco Field, 38.4 million watched Obama on television, and Obama's speech received the highest ratings ever for a convention. I believe Sarah Palin had an amazing speech but I am not that interested in the Republican side of the convention. I didn't watch Obama's speech but I heard that he went above and beyond with his inspirational words. This article has made me think more about the dedicated speeches that take place at the conventions every few years. I think all politicans have the same advantages in the campaign but one has to be choosen to run our country.
2.) McCain : "Fight With Me"; I disagree with all the choices McCain is planning on changing. First of all, many people can find their own jobs but some do need more help than others. We dont need the government to help us decide what we should do with our lifes as we grow up. Secondly, we can stand up for ourselfs and dont need the government to be by our sides every minute of every day and hold our hands until we have gotten to the end. With Obama wanting to reduce taxes, ending the war with Iraq, eliminating capital gains in taxes, in 10 years ending our dependence on oil, and making fuil efficient cars to help the environment be safer, the world will eventually become a better place for everyone to live if Obama gets elected.
3.) I really didnt pay much attention to the RNC because I am more interested in the democratic side of the election. I think that McCain is going to keep us where we are in the world today and Obama will make a huge difference. Plus im not allowed to vote in this election. I cant believe that more people would vote for McCain instead of Obama. I think I would possibly consider myself a democratic but I'm not quite sure.
