Republican National Convention - Day IV live thread
« on: September 04, 2008, 04:12:17 PM »
It's pretty much an anti-climax of an evening.

Quote
Thurday, September 4

McCain will accept the nomination on a day that will focus on national security and foreign affairs.

Other speakers include Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Florida Sen. Mel Martinez.

well, maybe not.

the stage has been rebuilt to allow McCain to get very deep into the audience and be more intimate and personal. I think McCain has been having a lot of fun this week and we may see something different from him tonight simply because he is so charged up about Governor Palin.

I know! We walked in from outside and it was already going... thank God my DVR was already set to record it.

the older daughter is coming over tonight to show us her new dog, but she doesnt have cable hooked up yet and she is really curious to see Governor Palin's speech last night. Apparently, all the Juicy Couture matrons were all aflutter about the governor..

Not a single person can be found in the whole of the democrat party that has as much class as Cindy McClain.  Nowhere.
