Did anyone see McCain's speech tonight, or Sarah Palin's speech last night?  
 
I watched both, and have to say I was surprised and impressed by Sarah Palin. She is a strong speaker, and seems to have a broad appeal to "normal" American people (hockey mom, family problems, small town girl, etc). McCain isn't a great speaker, but he also did a great job and showcased his air of confidence that he is known for.  
 
The polls are suggesting that the race between the Republicans and Democrats is still very close. I'm still don't really understand how the republicans receiving so much support given that it is their party that has so little public support under George W. Seems to me that throwing in a couple new faces makes a lot of people believe that it will change the entire Republican party and it's current policies.  
 
I thought by now that the poll results wouldn't be this close at this point!  
 
And now we're going to be having a federal election of our own. Wow, it's going to be a very busy, political fall season this year!
