White, John RNC Post Three

1) The Early Word: Understanding Palin by Michael Falcone:
This article tried to tell people more about Senator Palin of Alaska. McCain has just recently chosen her to be his running mate, so not many people know much about her. The writer was clearly biased and tried to point out all of her views that are those the same of President George Bush. There are a lot of critics out there, not fond of this. I don't agree with the content of this article. I watched the speech of Senator Palin on national television. She has a son in the military, a daughter who is pregnant, and a child with down syndrome. I honestly don't know how she manages to keep the house maintain, but she has. Not many democrats are giving her a chance to show what she could do in office.

2) Palin Good for the Democrats, Too by Michael Luo
I found this article shocking beyond belief. The support for the Obama campaign was clearly inferior to the that of the Republicans. Senator Obama's campaign, was projected to reach the 10 million dollar mark in total donations, by the time John McCain was going to make his speech. The McCain campaign took in 10 million dollars following Palin's speech at the Xcel Energy Center. That is said to be a one day record.

3) I did watch the RNC this week. I really was shocked as how much I could learn about the 2008 elections just by taking an hour out of my day. The intensity of the speech given by both Sarah Palin, and John McCain, sent chills running down my spine. After the RNC was over, I realized why my mother and father raised me in a Republican household. After every comment I could just feel myself saying "Yes" after every statement. I am anxious to vote, but it wont happen for me this year. I found the conventions to be more interesting than boring, so I even shocked myself.
