Palin wasn't a good choice and I have heard some major talk from other ethnic groups about how the Republicans paint others as being "low lifes" and not up to par with American Values.So,these polls- that don't include us, may surprise you in the end.Own up to your faults REpublicans because you sure remind the rest of us how unamerican we are....lmao Republicans-FAmily Values is your platform.Don’t get mad when we hold you to it.If this was Obama,Clinton,Biden FOX news would have a banner over the building about Obama and his stupid choice.

McCain and Palin have a proven track record of reaching across the aisle to find solutions for America. Obama and Biden have proven (thru their voting records) to be your typical far left candidates. One other important reason I am voting for them...balance of power in DC. The last thing I want is EITHER party having complete control of the Presidency/Senate/Congress.....

I think that they have both done good jobs, although I do not agree with them all the time. Political party conventions used to be very important in selecting candidates, but the primary system has undermined this. In real political conventions, as took place in the past, Obama would not have been nominated. But the conventions perhaps serve the function of letting party leaders get together. talk things over, make decisions. Why such denigration of Bush and Cheney?

Music vids are lame. Content, please! [and it's 'bump'. You seem to have got bumbs on the brain.] In recent history, even 12-15% bumps after the DNC has failed to elect a Donk POTUS. Whether the DNC bump is 0% or 8%, it's all the same. Doom for the the Democrat candidate. DaveII;

When the Presidential candidate is 73 its also about the VP candidate’s intelligence, experience, and potential for governance, leadership, negotiating ability with other world leaders, and making very difficult decisions. David, I do understand your point, but honestly, I don't see any discernable difference between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. I know that each side is trying to separate their accomplishments and I think it is futile. Some might even say being a governor for the same time as being a senator provides the edge in executive experience. As a life long Democrat raised by blue collar parents in the heartland of California (Fresno) in my heart of hearts I just can't vote for Barack this time around. John McCain just seems to me to have worked in a bi-partisan way far more than Joe Biden and Barack just seems to be nothing but a liberal talking head. My parents were Ronald Reagan Democrats and I'm leaning that way myself because Sarah Palin seems to be cut from the same cloth. Everyone I talk to in Central California that is a fair minded Democrat feels the same way I do. I wish we had a moderate Democrat to vote for but we don't. It seems like the vote for moderation and bi-partisianship will be with the Republican ticket this time around. I'm actually very excited about Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate.

It just makes SO much more sense to instead elect a president who has even less experience than Sarah Palin does, doesn't it? Yeah, David.

Not that the Republicans can't enjoy an even bigger bump. I believe it will soon be clear that Maverick McCain and Maverick Palin are just what the American voters thirst for. Jude Jennifer,
