'm listening to the RNC and I'm listening to Obama's and Biden's responses to the Palin pregnancy "controversy," and I have to tell you... If anything is going to convince me as an independent voter to vote for Obama/Biden it's that the Republicans are just being so vitriolic toward Obama/Biden and all the "angry left" (actual Bushism from tonight) while Obama and Biden are saying "leave Palin's family out of this and be decent, folks." Biden even went so far as to say he can't speak to Palin's experience and that he can say she's a Governor and that isn't an easy feat. Kudos Obama and Biden. Good show.

I had such hopes that Thompson was actually going to be respectful because he wasn't resorting to the usual name-calling and smearing at first, but that sadly changed as his speech wore on. Lieberman was seemingly a whiney brat lashing out at his party (he still claimed to be a Democrat while speaking even though he's supposedly now Independent) because he had to go independent just to keep his seat. But hey. Who knows. Maybe he actually does believe McCain is the best person for the job.

I'm not sure how I feel about Laura Bush's speech, especially the part where she highlighted the women working for the Bush Administration.

"Fellow citizens: If the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain's resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry left never will." - George W. Bush

“I don’t know the governor…I know people worry about Biden-style talk, but the truth is I simply don’t know. I take her on face value. She’s a governor, that’s no mean feat and she seems to have a strong personal story.” - Joe Biden
