Well, it appears that both Dems and Reps have their bases cover with Black and Women voters.

All we need is the Green party or the Libertarians to come up with a Native American Vice President and we can have a real party!

I'll bring the sandwiches and refreshments.

I hate the gooks too Mr. McCain

Um, yeah. "Gooks" is derogatory, please refer to them as "Charlie" or "Slopes".

The only way that vid can make a difference is if it goes viral. Great find though.

As far as that "gook" comment, he (tried) covered himself by saying he only was referring to the Vietcong prison guards who tortured him.

To be honest, no one really cares about the RNC, not as much as the DNC.

I smell a 10 point bounce for McCain in the polls in the next week. Any takers on a bet?

4 at best.

Sorry, I would have posted videos, but school just started and I've been busy. Just so you don't think I'm being biased, sith.

That is a stupid thing to say. 😉 It seems that the numbers are about equal.

A good call. I'm aiming higher, but obviously I'm a supporter of the campaign. 😛

No I know you weren't.

In fairness, 4 of those speeches just aired last night so you can't really be "late" on something that's brand new.

You have a good grasp on things...what are your honest impressions? (not expecting you to switch sides or anything.)

What do you think will happen in the debates? (my opinion could change after tonight, but it seems that both McCain at Saddleback and Palin last night are far better than people assumed.)

False. Palin's speech was watched by approx 40 million viewers, the same as Obama's last week.

I'm not sure what's going on but the Viet guy did NOT say he supported McCain. His last words before the video ended was, "this is something I don't get/understand." Maybe I missed something and the guy does support McCain but those weren't his last words. 🙄

I'm betting most weren't about what she will say, just who she is and whether or not she actually is a good speaker.

Newer update from Nielsen:

37.2 million is how many watched Palin, 1.1 million less than Obama.

However, she was on 6 networks while he was on 10.
