CNN

Johnny you are right the RNC does looks white (OLD), so what does that tell you. Never want to change, want everyone to stay in the same old system of being poor. WE MUST HAVE CHANGE IN ORDER TO MOVE ON TOO A POSITIVE COUNTRY. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

No, if THEY do it it's neither sexist nor illegal, nor immoral, nor anything but RIGHT. They have learned well from Zen spinmasters Rove and Bush.
Republicans should be ashamed!

If one of Obama's daughters was pregnant at any age and not married the MEDIA and those lying republicans would be on them like flies on doodoo...Rudy Giuliani should have stayed home because his speech was full of doodoo.lol McCain is a womanizer he did his first wife in by leaving her when she was very ill and had gained some weight, so he didn't think she was pretty anymore so the old crow dumped her, so what does that tell you about the AMERICAN SO CALLED HERO, he is a BIG ZERO. Dumb Rudy Giuliani says Obama has not ran anything, he is such a lier, Giuliani ran around on his wife that is what he has ran an adulter...If the republicans are so MORAL then why are they such LIERS???

All i have to say about this VP choice is just she will put the life of her daughter in danger place her political career ahead instead that is sad and shameful.

Is Gov. Huckabee now been vetted for the VP slot before tonight's acceptance speech by Gov.Palin? Sen McCain is so out of touch with reality. Showing off the teenage-pregnant 17 year old daughter of Gov. Palin and the teenager's high-school drop-out babby daddyis now family value to McCain. It is a disagrace that Sen. McCain and his campaign are talking-up the fact that a teenager is keeping her baby, when they should be condemning pre-marital sex that led to the pregancy. Which Bible do they read?

HOTTEST VP-HMMMMMMMMM-----------TYPICAL REPUBLICANS NOT READY FROM DAY ONE TO DEAL WITH EDUCATED WOMEN OF SUBSTANCE. I GUESS TO THEM IT WOULD HELP WITH "DIPLOMACY"

IF BARBIE WERE A REAL PERSON SHE WOULD BE THE VP NOMINEE FOR THIS PARTY....

wait so, attacking her credentials is the epitome of sexism, but calling themselves 'the hottest VP' isn't?

Double standards, anyone..???

I am disappointed in Mike Huckleberry speech tonight. He was a big fan of mine. I hated that he tried to patranized Obama and then
linch him up under the same breath. I think he could have done himself more honor tonight if he had stick to speak on McCain's qualities. Obama has worked exceptionally hard to prove himself worthy of the nomination and to be the President. As Blacks always has to work 3 times as hard and proven themselves over, over , over and over again. Obama has more eduacation than all of them. Obama studied Poltices. Read his book, Obama knows what is needed to change
Amerrican... He has the know how and he has what it takes. I am tired of everyone beating him down. Shame on all these old guys, your are beginning to sound like a broken record. Give us some TRU
E facts. We can make Stop bashing Obama.... We can decide who is the better candidates with the FACTS. Let the best man win..

I don't agree with everything on either ticket, but after watching both conventions it is clear which one will accept me.

Do the Republicans even realize how they are alienating us independents with their talk? Because I don't agree with everything they believe I and everyone like me is being criticized!

There is no way I can vote for a party that consistently bashes it's fellow Americans for not believing everything the way they do.

For these people talking about the economic development and saying the Dems can't deliver it to us have you lived in America the last eight years. I mean really where do you people come from. It is not a mistake that place is almost empty.

WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY IN THE RNC? THE FEW MINORITIES AND WOMEN IN THAT PARTY ARE EXPLOITED TOKENS!!!!

SARAH WAKE UP FROM YOUR CONTINUED NIGHTMARE AND RETURN TO ALASKA

IS THIS AMERICA????

John McCain has ZERO executive experience. ZERO!

"the hottest VP from the coolest state"
hmmm...if that is not sexist, i don't know what is. maybe someone should notify fiorina that all the arguments about being sexist toward palin are actually coming from her own party. the gop cracks me up. i have never seen a more clueless bunch of people in my life!!

what kind of values does the palin family have? i can understand supporting your daughter through a bad decision. but to promote, laud, and condone her actions is ridiculous. why put levi so much in the spotlight, they are not married, they are both dependent children, and neither has a job or means to support a child. what message are you sending to the american teenagers? i doubt if mccain knew of this pregnancy in advance. shame on you palin why isnt levi being charged with statutory rape

"The hot buttons are national security and economic developement, neither of whick the DIMS can give us."

There are so many problems with that sentence it's not even funny.

Well isn't that just...cute.

Those Sarah buttons will be worth a lot someday. She will be the first Republican VP pick that did not make it to the final ballot.
Even the Republican strategists are saying it is over and she is a not a serious contender. Noonan and Murphy's "hot mike" conversation is too true to be funny (even though I fell out of my chair laughing) it is a sad commentary on the McCain.
His decision making skills left him in 2000. Please John, go and enjoy your retirement. It is past time for you to with draw.
Obama/Biden are real!

I have now watched both conventions in this way I can make a good judgement when I vote. I will continue to watch the Republican convention to its end. But if you asked me right now who would I vote for it is not even close. It would be Barack Obama. But we are not voting tonight, and there is much more to be learned.

I will say this though, if the Republicans continue down the path of not talking about the issues and just bash the Obama/Biden ticket it wont even be close on November 4th.

I have a digital sign cutter... I think I'll make some stickers tomorrow. Here's an idea...

"I don't care if she can skin a moose with her teeth – if she can't give an interview I don't want her for VP!"

Somebody tell her to ditch that french manicure...please!!!!!!
...And then the Shania coiff has got to go!

Oh Yeah, Hottest VP from the Coolest State . . . that's not sexist.

hottest VP button....couldn't that be called sexist?...i'm just saying.

AND NOW WHAT WILL PEGGY NOONAN AND MIKE MURPHY DO
TO DEFEAT THEIR OWN PARTY AFTER BEING CAUGHT TRASHING THEIR VP CANDIDATE? WELL THEY APOLOGIZE AND JUST LIKE THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY CAUGHT UNAWARES BY AN OPEN MICROPHONE TRASHING YOUR OWN , THEY WILL GO ON ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
THEY WILL LEAVE THE REPUBLICANS AND KEEP THEIR JOBS.
INTEGRITY AND UNCONDITIONAL LOYALTY IS A PREMIUM THESE DAYS.

I am a Hillary Clinton voter who still thinks that she was the best candidate among both Dem and Rep. However, I was leaning towards Mccain until I realized that Mccain is not different to Bush. The picking of Palin and the Repubican Convention brought me to this realization. Obama whom I was not keen on now makes sense to me while Mccain seems more like Bush.

Yawn. What is John McCain's plan for Iraq? Yes Iraq, that just signed a multibillion dollar contract with CHINA , yep CHINA for ...wait for it...wait for it...OIL!!!!!!

How much money are we spending over there a month again? Oh yes $10 BILLION. Nice going John bankrupt America so we can borrow from China later. NICE.

Where can I get one of those!!! NOT!!!

YOu know what is sexiest ? Leaving your wife because she became fat. going after model, rich woman. and above all choosing a woman 180 degree diffent in terms of values from Hillary and hoping that Hillary supporters will choose you bacause you have a woman on the ticket..... but McCain and some other folks just don't get it.

uhhggg!

No Johnny, you are not. It looks like Alaska in January. Covered in white. And what does this say of the Repubs? Come on CNN let's fire back. They are accusing you guys of being sexist and slamming her in the media what do you call this? These people are so two-faced it doesn't make any sense. John W. McBush is a two-faced sexist, warmongering liar. America please show this man and his "sexy" new thing the door.

Now, I try my best to stay neutral, but all I see here is a very carefully chosen selection of campaign buttons by the media. You do know that politicians don't make these phrases up for themselves right?

I have actually met Mr. Huckabee, and I'm pretty darn sure he wouldn't say, "You know what sounds like a great idea? A cheesy picture of my head on Superman's body! We could put it on a pin...." In fact all I can say about the former Governor is that he is every bit as nice as he seems, whether you like him or not.

And likewise for Palin's pin. I mean, I personally don't see anything all that controversial, and chances are if you're so offended, you weren't planning on voting for her anyway.

Both candidates are flawed, and both candidates are respectable. But remember, the media controls which faces, actions, and details make it through to your TV.

I'm scared by the amount of misinformation flying around at the GOP convention.

Does anyone know how many people voted for Biden in the primaries? I swear I heard Romney claim that Palin got more votes in a mayoral election.

Romney sounds and looks like a used car salesman. McCain smiles as if he is in pain, with a sneaky look. Huckabee reminds me of Gomer Pyles. Cindy McCain reminds me of Barbie, who always walks behind her man-not beside him. After tonight, I'll tell you who Sarah reminds me of, especially since she is supposed to be "the hottest VP frpm the coolest state."

I am praying now that Obama wins. If McCain wins, I will really pray without ceasing because I shudder to think of Sarah taking over the our government!

Here's a botton for you: Mitt Romney has always been proud of America, even proud of the fact that his church didnt allow Black Membeership... Hmmmm

Mike Huckabee is full of crap and so was his speech. McCain so what a war hero, that is so old and played out "WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR ME LATELY?" Oh I know the answer "NOTHING" He is a washed up old man who needs to go sit down in his rocking chair, he is a copie CAT trying to piggie back off of the next PRESIDENT OBAMA. Sarah Palin is being used by McCain, she has NO experience in nothing but having BABIES that's about the most experience she has. Sarah should have taught her daughter about birth control and maybe she would not be another negative statistic. Now the poor girl has to have a shot gun wedding and marry her 18 year old boy friend who is clueless about life. Now Sarah is dragging him around like a run away slave. McCain and Sarah is NOT THE ANSWER FOR CHANGE.

Hope the democratic censorship moderadotion doesnt block this too:

Dem can have their talkative puppet, 0 experience. But Governor Palin is the one who´s been used?

What experience Obama has other than give speeches? It´s better for him to go work with Oprah, and leave the presidency for real people, with real experience.

You robots wont learn never, wil you?

Before the election, the talking, after the cry-mamma.

NOBAMA.

MCCAIN-PALIN ´08

The GOP is so pathetic. Everything they do is laughable. I look at the RNC audience and I cannot believe how deluded these people are. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

Three Canadian soldiers DEID in Afghanistan today – eight hurt badly.
They were attacked and fought against the Taliban. The SAME people that attacked the US.

The repubs created a war and a factious enemy in Iraq leaving the REAL job to others – you cowards!!!

Republican convention of LIES
It is not Nation First it is Republican First.

LIES!!!! Put that on a BUTTON

LOL–I saw that 'hottest' button on CSPAN–

What a bunch of hypocrites--

That is SO SEXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The RNC is a bunch of empty platitudes and pandering. They want us all to believe the choice is between those who want to protect liberty and freedom and those who do not. What they simply don't get is the choice is between keeping doing the stupid things that aren't working to strengthen and protect our country and finding smarter ways to get there.

They are talking about how they can fix all the problems that the liberals caused. Who has been in the White House for the last 8 years and which party has controlled congress for 6 of the last 8 years. Their speeches have come from big time politician and corporate CEO's. Yup, the party of the people all right.

Why would we put the same bunch of fools, who obviously STILL don't get it, back into power.

Palin as running mate is yet another example of poor judgment and reckless decision making. Grossly unqualified right wing extremist selected by an out of touch candidate.

just heard Huckabee give a wonderful and heart felt tribute to Obama honouring his historic rise as the first black Pres Nominee .
Pan to the audience....luke warm applause and disinterest. That says it all. The world is watching and I am ashamed.

Whaa? The biggest news story from the convention is the buttons?
Romney looked like he was posing and Huckabee was unoriginal .

FRED THOMPSON votes over-looked.

Speak the truth.

Huckabee stated that Biden got less votes as a presidential candidate, than Sarah Palin got as governor.

It would have been better to keep it real by stating the facts that Fred Thompson probably got less votes as presidential candidate than Sarah Palin as governor.

LIE- Huckabee said that Palin recieved more votes in her mayoral races than Biden did in his Presidential run.

I think Biden received 15,000 or so just in Florida.

I cannot believe that Huckabee just snubbed Americans on National T.V. Stating that he worked hard to be wealthy, so that the government doesn't have to help him. Well good for him, what about everyday people that go to work everyday over the last eight years and have watched as the government has worked has helped make it more and more difficult to succeed. This man is a JOKE! Four more years? I can't stand four more minutes of this garbage!!!

oh God...POW BLAH BLAH BLAH Huckabee did say one thing right though...we should not elect McCain as a "symbolic gesture"

Palin set to slam Obama in speech, Bring It On!

Sen. Obama Been Taking The Kitchen Sink For !8 Months and Counting!

Where Still Here, Still Strong!

Palin 3 Days, One Tonight Doesn't Make You Some Super Women.

Come On, Do What You Think You Do Best, And Watch "It" Slide Off!

I would like to know why the republican speakers tonight are trying to blame the catastrophies of the past eight years on the "liberal democrats" when the republicans have ruined this country by measure of their control. When the republicans took over we had a surplus, we had a fully funded social security, we had jobs and decent pay. After eight years of republicans we are where we are now. Do they think we are stupid or what???????

Why do you OBAMA supporters keep talking about the economy. I watched the DNC Convention and not a solution came by about the economy. OBAMA does not have a clue what to do and Joe Biden has been there for 25 years. What makes you think he gives a darn about the economy. John McCain is the only logical choice for Americans to make for someone with half an ideal as what to do. At least he knows foreign affairs, security of the U.S. and has the experience to lead this country at the most urgent time of need in the past forty years. For these trying times the Americans have no choice but McCAIN and PALIN.

I couldn't believe it when Huckabee said that he didn't grow up rich but he became a republican because he didn't think the government should bail anyone out. What a nice guy. He has such a big heart.
I thought he had been a preacher before he was a governor. Or was that a different Huckabee? Maybe that Huckabee is hiding with the Mccain we haven't seen since 2000?

Or V.P. until 2012 and then President.

The Republican Convention audiance doesn't look like Americas melting pot but that's okay their youth are showing them every day that CHANGE is coming. Republicans are afraid of change and if they are allowed to enter the White House again our future will continue to go down the toilet.

After watching Huckabee's speech, I heard nothing about health care. The gov't did not do anything this past 8 years, look what happen to the country.

what happen to this country called american. aren't we made of different people from differnt culture and background. i haven't seen one person that is ethier latino , asian, black, etc. it a pity this is why mcsame wll not get the latino vote, black vote, or jews votes. opbama convention was about divesity. young old black white latino you name it as american.

listened to most of the speaker and love their promises. But.... didn't they say the same 8 and 4 years ago? All I see is that we are worse off today.
As a retired executive all I can say I would not have reappointed the party 4 years ago and have certainly no confidence in their professional ability today. Results not words count; its time for a new team and some sanity.

The GOP Reverend Huckabee lied without blinking an eye. Palin got jut 6000 votes in Wasilla. Biden got more than 18,000 votes in Florida and more than 10,000 in Delaware alone.

You remember last week when all we heard about was how garish and over the top the DNC stage was? Has it occurred to anyone that maybe this was because the RNC stage and preparations SUCK in comparision?

The DNC knew thein convention was a celebration of their ticket and a launching pad for what's next. In contrast, all I see with the RNC is a bunch of white folks (agree with you Johnny...) with signs that say "prosperity"- which is incredibly out of touch with what most Americans are feeling right now.

Biden calls her "good looking" a remark that disparage himself and he is sexist. The Republicans call her "hot" and that's OK>

Pot meet Kettle

I thought Sarah Palin energized there base... is this GOP base or is this what they call energized? Show them the clip from Denver.

Better ad – Ban those books! While Mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin tried to ban books from the public library. After the librarian resisted, Palin tried to fire her. Did John McCain check anything about her record?

Funny that the repubs have a button calling her 'hot' but if Biden says she's (and Obama) are better looking than him, they're being sexist.
whatever.

listening to Romney blame the liberals for the economic mess we're in and dare say he's not for big brother when the repugs are the ones who have ruined us economically and destroying our civil liberties, makes me sick.
talking about 'family values' over and over when McShame is an adulterer (something the repugs would never let up on if it were a dem) is just more icing on the cake of hypocrisy.
ENOUGH!!

Jamie Lynn Spears Sends Baby Gift, Wishes To Bristol Palin. Glenn Beck took Jamie Lynn Spears apart for being a bad role model 6 months ago. 6 months ago she was not worth the dirt on his shoe. now he sings by a whole other tune. Republican spin makes me vomit.

what is wrong with these republicans,they complain that Barack does not have experience but look who is picked for VP. Sarah Palin, Sarah who? is what everyone is asking. We do greatly appreciated John Mccain for serving his country in the war but going to war does not equal experience. Sarah Palin is not a role model for anyone's children. We should say yeah her daughter is 5 months pregnant and that is okay. We have many children having babies in these times. So now she have given all the opportunity to these children thinking it is ok to have a child at a young age. If they were giving sex education maybe her daughter may not be pregnant and her state being # 1 with STD's

Palin,

Was it true you left your small town in debt or is that an urban myth?

hmmmmmmm come to think of it your right the color does seem off I lowered the brightness on my television as far as it goes now I see nothing but hear what sounds like Nazi Germany during WWII.

Sad!! Given all the issues America is faced with today because of the the last 8 republican years the focus is on how "hot" Palin is? Maybe it's a ploy to take the focus of her lack of experience ...

Get as many of the buttons as you can... a real collectors item! And to think... they could have had Superman as the VP and instead got Super Nanny!

Seriously? It has always been obvious of the blatan media bias for NObama and the bloggers HERE are just the same. Seems to me that Romney was only quoting dear ole Michele's horrendous comments about "her" country. Who in their right mind says the things she said about country with her husband running for President of the United States. That is so completely different than attacking a 17 year old young girl as many of the mean-spirited bloggers have been doing. I see nothing wrong with his comments but then again, OF COURSE THE NOBAMA FAN WOULD - SINCE THEY DON;T GET CALLED OUT ON REAL ISSUES. WHAT DOES NOBAMA STAND FOR AGAIN>>>

Wasn't this convention center more packed when Obama gave his winning speech?

buttons huh...what percentage of those in attendance know how to use the internet...to be generous we'll exclude mccain himself from the count

So now she lead her basketball team and that makes her VP material?

Gee, Gomer really is smart isnt he. A cape is all he needed,now hes a bonfide superhero.

Who is Huckabee trying to kid? " Sarah Palin got more votes for mayor of Wasilla than Joe Biden got when running for President" Uh, yeah, and your point is? Wasilla, population under 10k vs. the US population 300 million plus. What a dipstick! There is no rational corollary between these two!

I am now ashamed to say that I live in Arkansas and that he was a fomrer Governor. I find it simply amazing how wharped the Republican part and the social conservatives are. They are using a 17-year old in a political campaing and somehow they think they have the approval of God. It will take God to heal this land and not the Republican party.

Isn't that little pink heart cute? For the beauty queen that's "HOT" by republican definition.

McCain slogan should be "Campaign First." Country later

A pink heart surround the name Sarah Palin. What do the Republicans think this is another beauty contest? Remember she came in second in her last beauty pageant and will do so again in what she and the Republican Party think is her second beauty peagant. She is a terrible selection. Even Peggy Noonan in in heart knows this selection was a mistake.

Maybe Huck will be superman and come to the rescue in a few weeks when she is forced to drop out because of her on-going troubles with her pregnant 17 year old daughter and her troopergate investigation.

Palin is a joke and another example of McCain using women for personal gain...*cough CINDY'S MILLIONS*

OBAMA 08

Funny–you know how Mitt decided to bring up the fact that he is bringing up the point that promiscuity must end in our schools--oooops...isn't there a 17 year old related somehow to the republican pick for vice president who's been a little too promiscuous?

And Huck...greaaat speech-again with the big government getting off our backs...but lets not forget the fact that taking a womans right to choose...lets make that the governments choice...and illegal wiretapping...hmmm...keep the government on that as well...but those democrats want to continue w/big government...riiight...

And then Mr "Mayor of America"...9/11...September 11th...9/11...anything else?? no...

Well we can all say one thing....after the race is over and Obama is sworn in as the next Great President the GOP will still have alot of cool looking buttons.

Oh btw where are the people of color? Looks like an all white over 40 convention.

Veterans for Obama

Is that what the republican convention calls bringing people together, not very diversed is it? What is the change they are speaking of? And why are they tearing down the democratic party? I want change, and I believe in change, I BELIVE IN the Obama/Biden ticket.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Informed voter, San Diego, CA

Is this the correct spelling of H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S? The media, this time, is so going after McCain, who used to be their golden boy...

Good evening,

his button shoud be littleman! I wonder how some country can actually help aids victims in Africa and dump their own people!
Your words are divide and conquer...the party should surrender and should get a good work out at changing to a more progressive republican party. There is an evolution missing and you are missing the train! And it belittles any common values that should exist in the name of the country!

Sometimes you do not appreciate how your ancestors have fought not just for your freedom but they have also fought for shared responsibilities as true american citizens should be the model at home and abroad.

Help me follow the Republican's logic! If Palin's 2 yrs of experience qualifies her and Biden and Obama's experience as Senators do not qualify, then that must also disqualigy Senator McCain . So why have we had weeks of beingtold his experience qualifies him to be President??? HMMMMMM Their logic mystifies me just like everything else they do does. Just more double talk!!

As a Republican I am disgusted with my party what is worse it will take about 30 years or so before this very bad crew dies off into the next life and history. This is not the party of Lincoln what a sad day.

The right-wing argument about Sarah Palin's "executive" experience as Mayor and Governor is ridiculous. They claim Senator Obama lacks Palin's "executive" experience. They claim Senator Biden lacks Palin's "executive" experience. I guess the right forgot to notice that, by their crazy argument to puff up Palin's resume, Senator McCain lacks Palin's level of "executive" experience. Puh-leeeeeeeeze.

They mention McCain's plight in service so much.......why don't they just give him another medal instead of the presidency?!??!!

How???? How do I talk to Idiot's... MItt Romney tries so hard to be American...... When most of America; is full of crap... Change is not going back to Zimbabwe.... Not going back to the, Somalia of today.. It;s about Toto's.... What ishappening today in the Sudan???

The hottest sexiest VP.. !! I like that ...

We have more dead kids in this war than were killed (not by Iraquis) – maybe that should be brought up. ILLEGAL WARS ARE TOO DEMANDING OF HUMAN LIFE. NO MORE WARS McWarmonger.

Uh Oh – Rudy coming up – NOW we'll get to hear 911 911 911

i fell asleep on part one watching rudy speech and i fell asleep part three on liberman speech because it was too boring now what did liberman say oh i forget i fell asleep

The RNC IS really white!

As for the election being over already, remember, a lot of Democrats are voting for McCain because they're sore that their fave candidate didn't get picked. Very few Republicans are voting for Obama for the same reason.

That's why McCain will win this fall, he has the support of his entire party, they'll vote him in even if they don't like him because he's one of them. Obama can't say the same.

RNC

Rich, old, white guys and uneducated single-issue (abortion) Christian extremists = Nightmare, degeneration, and being dragged back to the stone age while Europe becomes a Union, works less, makes more money, and doesn't get into wars while they enjoy high quality free health insurance. Yay!! Were going places with these guys!! Woman running the border for Mexican back-alley abortions!!! Yay!!!! Now mother AND child can die!!

Huck looks like a squirrel.

Listen to these guys every dently they were not born in America ,I an many more started work at age six and seven years old on a farm . We only had half day school, and had to rush back home and go straight to the field without eating and work untile night. These neo-con went to school full time and never did any kind of work untile they finish school.

why don't they just come out with the button that would describe this convention, "if its white, its alright"

I don't care about these buttons! But as a European I am VERY offended by Huckabee's speech still going on. He slamed Obama for visiting Europe and said he was concerned about what he brought back. That's exactly the arrogant tone of Republican Americans. Think they are the best in the world. And Romney said America is the Worlds Hope. Ha Ha
Wait actually he is right! On November 4 when Obama becomes the first black President of the United states.

By the way we need to do a side by side photo with both Hillary and Sarah in that leather skirt and the Head Line should read: "Who where's it better" Every one could vote and we could post the results all over the USA......

How does the number of votes that Palin got running for Mayor of a 5k/7k/9k population town equate to experience?

Why is it that every Republican that talks about Palin's experience sidesteps the issue?

I am listening to the speechs(only because I am waiting to hear 'THE HOTTEST VP FROM THE COOLEST STATE" now I am just waiting for the "HEIL HITLER" These people are very scary..

This outcry of 'sexism' by the Repubs, while they are the ones who keep perpetuating it, makes me sick. How soon we forget what the talking heads did to Michelle Obama – sexist AND racist.

Wait so the media is sexist? Umm Republicans making a pin saying " The hottest VP" is pretty sexist in my eyes.....By the way Biden and Obama taking the high road on everything is great. Hopefully average Americans can see the Republicans smearing everything. You ask one question about Palin they put up the "SEXIST" remark. Total BS.

this repuklian convention is a big fat joke. lt so funny that they could bash obama and the demonscrate which he haven't taken office yet but the repuklian want us to give them another 4 years no another 4 months. why aren't they bashing bush he the one that screw up this country with two wars, the gas prices and the economic. are they kidding me and mcain think he can bring this country backward by voting 90 percent time with bush. please 8 years is enough hit they road and don't come back no more.

Johnny, I keep getting the 'we don't need no education' feel ....

Palin to hit hard, Tonight Let Her.

Sen. Obama Been Taking The Kitchen Sink For !8 Months and Counting!

Where Still Here, Still Strong!

Palin Been At It For Four Days.

POW POW POW POW POW – can anyone say SONGBIRD in vietnamese?

WHERE ARE THE ISSUES?

Our world is topsy turvey! New Orleans just about got wiped off the map this past week. More destruction is on its way.

We have two arenas of raging war–right now our young people are in harm's way!

And this drivel is all our "leaders" can come up with???

I am beyond disgusted.

Repubs at thier highest point of creativity!

Best button i ever seen came out on Obama's First months

GOT HOPE ?

At least they have SOMETHING new to add tonight.

Service, honor, country, judgement....

No issues, no specifics and now Mike Huckabee is doing another Vietnam recap.

Let me tell Mr. Romney, that Nobel Laureate Mr. Al Gore has done far more about energy conservation and increasing nature conservation awareness in the last 4 years, than what Mr Romney probably can even imagine to do in his whole life. Have the dignity to recognize and respect other’s efforts. Republic convention is going no where; its sad to see how confused and narrow minded these folks are. America is different and far-far more globally dependent today than what it was even 15 years ago. Republicans need a major shift to their mind set; and their way of looking at themselves AND OTHERS.

McCain's top adviser has said the race is about personalities not issues. You would like it that way wouldn't you? Republicans can't win on issues, because their solutions are the same solutions that have been failing for 8 years.

When are one of the Democrats going to point out the fact that all this "executive experience" Mrs. Palin supposedly has is strikingly similar to that of one GWB. Except he was a popular governor of a huge state for 5 years. He will go down as one of the worst ( maybe the worst ) presidents in history. How does that executive experience look now?

Watching the republican convention is scary. The republicans truly see themselves in a war with an enemy, and everyone who doesn't agree with them is an enemy.

This is how they're going to work to bring the US together, work across party lines and get things moving?

This is the same Rove, Bush tactics of old. Fear, divisiveness, us/them, only republicans love our country, our patriotic, have answers, are even worthwhile.

They believe and keep repeating in different words how everything that wrong is because of the liberals.

Funny though, the republican administration of the past eight years has gotten everything they have wanted and look where we're at.

In a sea of white faces and close minded ideas, they are showing themselves as unable and unwilling to lead this diverse country understanding that EVERY American is important.

At the Republican convention I only see seas of white faces. Are there any republicans (of color-other than white) that are at this convention? I am vexed to see them claim they are the party of America.

Im tired of all the hypocrisy, pandering and the other desperate attempts to defend poor decisions that some republicans are really unhappy about. of course its the convention and they arent going to show it. It seems that they are desperate to win, and grit their teeth trying to find any possible way to support mccains decisions because he's the only hope they have this year.

Huckabee calls McCain his no. 2 choice for the nomination. He still has grudge that McCain became the nominee. Yes, he is still flattering him.

What is going on?

And Romney's speech was a shame.

I just noticed the website of Palin's church has been shut down. I wonder who did that? Any guesses? Apparently there were sermons on there that weren't supposed to get out to the public.

POW,911,POW,911,POW,911.

These buttons are something that look like kids wear at high school for homecoming...how grown up!!!!

How about these buttons:

STILL NOT QUALIFIED

She's not the only boob on the ticket.

HOTTEST VP?!? That is horribly sexist and condescending, and dismissive of strong, accomplished women everywhe- Oh yeah; It's OK if you're a Republican. I forgot.

I hope the irony and the hypocrisy isn't lost on the women in attendance, but it probably is...

Oh Boy – POW – now, huck, say 911

talk about sexism??? R U kidding me

The buttons are just as comical as the McCain campaign.

Omg Hillary is head and shoulders above any of these women. The GOP is still trying to lure women by saying we are being sexist. Have they taken a look in the mirror?

This whole Palin thing is a real freak show. Is this the best the Republicans can do? I am tired of both Mccain and Palin already. What news will we learn about Palin tomorrow?????

Huckabee is speaking right now and I saw women wearing Huckabee button. What is the GOP conspiracy theory behind this?

Hey, calling someone 'hottest' is not sexist!! You gotta know it, kids.

Huckabee: "..most americans don't want more government, they want less government..." no....most people don't want the government of the last eight years!

Huckabee: "...I don't want the government to rescue me..." no $#%^!!!!
I don't want the government to hold me back and want CHANGE

Grab these buttons while you can, they'll be a very limited edition and collectibles in December!

Obama/Biden

THE HOTTEST VP...WHAT THE HECK, YET OBAMA CAN'T CALL ME SWEETY? CALL MEEEE OBAMA ANYDAY. YOU REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE LEIBERMAN...A JOKE.

Let's talk about Sarah Palin's expertise in Home Land Security....Terrorism Control and her Back Ground with defense missels......and how she can help this country....I have read on comments with in different secections of Polital Tickers that she doesn't have experience.........I know the soldiers would like to get home to there lives....the year 2012 is not soon enough.......Maybe she is exactly what we need......FYI NO PARDONS for Bill Clinton Hillary and Al Gore or any of their cronies......

Am I the only person who thinks that the RNC looks really white!

So is that what the repubs think the issue is, being hot? Forget about the economy and the Iraq war, and the housing crises. McCain is thinking with the wrong head.

I just lost all respect for Huck. He's no christian. (lower case deliberate).

I've never respected that mormon that worships Joseph Smith (WHO?) – and McCain has been in the toilet since I read Carol McCains story and how the Reagans shunned McWar because of what he did.

Obama/Biden '08

Sorry Sarah, can't watch you. The Williams sisters are playing each other at the US Open. You lose.

What a Joke.... Seriously... This is pathetic of the republicans

Palin is a Gimmick.... she has never stood up for womens right to choose... she is against sex ed

plz give me a break

Again, Republicans are showing their hypocrisy. If a Democrat said Sarah Palin was "hot," that comment would be deemed sexist. I just saw that button on tv and it disgusts me. Seeing Bristol Palin and the baby daddy shaking McCain's hand at the airport also disgusts me. As far as I'm concerned, it's open season on everyone and everything.

Sarah is McCain's new puppet, she is told what to do and what to say.

These aren't real Republicans. If Abraham Lincoln were alive today he would be shocked that his party has been taken over by the very evil that he defeated more than 140 years ago.

Palin is a former Alaska beauty queen for Pete's sake. She is a practiced spokes model. She has been rehearsed and run through her speech in sequestered sessions like a psychology student's learning trials of a white rat. Excuse my cross-species simile, but tonight she will get on the RNC convention stage and bark like the trained seal that she really is!! The speech writers have given her words to make 'em cry and make 'em laugh. You can be sure she will serve her trainers well. If Republicans and Americans believe what they hear, then they are naive enough to deserve the disaster that a McCain/Palin administration will bring to our country.

A quote from Romney's speech a few minutes ago "People in our party prefer straight talk to politically correct talk!"...two comments:
1) Does this mean he refers to Gov. Palin as "sweet-cheeks", "baby-cakes", or simply "woman" when trying to get her attention? That's straight talk and not politically correct talk, yeah?
2) I would hope one of CNN's political commentators would post a story to the ticker referring to how backwards all of these speakers have been tonight...I swear it's like I'm watching a convention from 1950 or 1960!

Sorry, I know this comment doesn't refer to the story, but no stories on the ticker have referred to how socially backwards these speeches have been tonight...now Huckabee is trying to make the argument that taking into consideration "european ideas", which I take as "the thoughts of other countries, genuinely affected by our actions" is a bad thing...do they not know that the neoconservative policies of Bush aren't popular or working?! What are they doing?!?!

Copycat Supper Huck says it all. Ha! Ha!

Mike Huckabee KNOWS good and well HE IS NO OBAMA. He wished he had a movement like Sen. Obama.

the hottest VP – can you say SEXIST!!!!! and this is being put out by the Repubs.........

What a shame....this is over for the repubs....

"The hottest VP from the coolest state"

That is so sexist....oh wait it is ok if the Republicans do it to each other

Excuse me while I puke......................

Replay the Democratic convention so that we can watch something of interest and also get a look at how America looks when Americans come together.
Obama08

I think the republicans are setting the rules tonight for what IS and IS NOT out of bounds.

So far, if SHE hits him first, HE's allowed to hit back.

Go ahead – start this one with the American People.

Yea this is going to really get me a job... Is it November yet?

She may be hot, and saying that would be sexist. But if they want hot they should have picked miss Alaska or something, wait she was. Majority of her experience is as a major of a small town and during her tenure the city went from being debt free to 22million in the hole, that's a city of 8000 people? That's the majority of her so called experience, she has been governer for only 20 months. How could anyone in their right mind compare that to Obama who is not was a state senator for 7 years and Illinos (12 million+ population) and that after spending 12 years teaching "constitutional" law. She at one point belonged to a Alaska Independence Party who’s primary goal was secession from the rest of US, she belongs to a radical church that believes that Jews deserve to be victims for terrorism. How could anyone want to put such a nut job a heart beat away from the presidency just because she is a women, WAKE UP.

It's THAT boring there????

"The Hottest VP from the coolest state?" I guess they are still the, do as I say not as I do, party. I would think that button is extremely sexist. But their idea of sexism is valid questening of a candidate's qualifications.

the hottest vp isnt that sexist...heading to the blogs! this is no different from what what fat Rush said!

obviously if a democrat called her HOT... wouldn't they say the the person is Sexist? Hypocrisy is a big disease for the republicans.

The hot buttons are national security and economic developement, neither of whick the DIMS can give us.

McCain/Palin '08 & '12

"The hottest VP from the coolest state"...and they're accusing the media and Democrats for being sexist.

Give me a break

Sorry buddy (to mittens), we've had conservative for 8 years.

But doesn't Karl Rove give HIS choices mind-grabbing points? Oh – sorry – those that believe this stuff don't have a mind.

Dear God, they're worshiping MIKE FRICKIN HUCKABEE?! A better button for Palin would be her torturing a animal by chasing it until it collapsed from a helicopter.

"The hottest VP from the coolest state"
...and that's not sexist?! i'm confused

why dont mccain just concead the election now its over mccain will never win

"The hottest VP..." How sexist is that???
