Republican Convention Blog

I was able to watch the Republican Convention in bits and pieces whenever I could, and I noticed that it was very similar Democratic Convention is some ways, even though the faction and its beliefs were entirely different. The Republicans spoke about their strengths and how much McCain would help the country if he was elected. I found the beginning of Palin's speech to be overly corny when she was introducing her family and everyone was smiling through their teeth. Once again the energy was high throughout the course of the convention, and it's obvious that each candidate has his own group of followers. What I am curious about however is how many people changed sides from one group to another after these conventions. I believe that is what would measure true success. Watching these conventions was an entirely new experience for me, and it helped with my undertanding of our country's political process.
