The Race is on!

Well, now that the Republicans are in St. Paul, it seems like a good time for me to be updating this blog.

I have watched most of the speeches from the DNC, and was quite impressed with a few of them. I think Bill Clinton made a very good speech. He got the crowd going and did what he needed to do that night. I also think that Hillary gave a speech that fit her role. I have not watched Obama's speech yet, but I look forward to watching it tonight.

John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate, and I have been given mixed reviews from people. I believe this was a very strong pick for many reasons, and, if I am honest, one of them is that she is a woman. If you look at this as a strictly political points game, she will probably be able to bring in much of the female vote, but we shall see.

Just wanted to add a quick note here and I hope I will keep blogging now that we are getting down to the fun part of the race. Let me know what you think or what topic I should talk about!
