CNN

as a woman I am isulted by the gop and campbell brown

cnn why is my comments still in moderation from over 10 hours ago...are you guys bias?

i would like to know were was senitor john McCain born ( brith place), and if not in the united state, then where? If not born in the united State then how can senitor Mc Cain, be sworn in if he was elected.

Goodie for them.

Yeah thats sad... and so is the V.P. pick!

This is so scary!! A 72 year old POW who lacks judgement as a president and the most unqulified woman as a VP?! Is this the kind of administration the most powerful country in the world needs?! in such a dengerous world where countries like Iran are one step away from obtaining nuclear weapon and many are threatning us, our allies, and our friends?!

Nothing from MCCain on paying for my kids education,
Nothing from McCain on paying for my HealthCare,
Nothing from McCain on Taxing the Rich and giving to the poor
Nothing from McCain on getting me a job.................................

Vote Obama

Man talk about a lame... I guess John McCain could have taken a chance and really make a bold bi-partisan choice by asking his friend Joe Lieberman to join the ticket, or pick the woman who's been out there on the campaign trail stumping for him all this time, Carly Fiorina.

But NO.... but that would be to easy. After making "experience" such an issue–he folded under pressure from evangelicals to pick Sarah Palin, which smack of Bush era cronyism over the GOP ideal of meritocracy. I guess McCain's not such a "maverick" after all. Because this woman is a wack job. Gonna love the the GOP it's the same as it was a bunch of old white guys trying to take back what was never really their's in the first place. This counrty it's ours. All of ours!

I will not vote for them now!

She is very unprofessional. I will not vote for McCain, because their speeches.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA EXPERIENCE IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND 20 YRS WITH A RACIST CHURCH.

NO WAY! NO HOW! NOBAMA!

I have come to the conclusion that Palin and Juliani are republican EXTREMIST!
Dangerous for America!

Hooray?

I think he has lost some people with the "community organizer" jokes. They are not going to stand for that.

Obama is th only sensible candidate in my opinion, he makes me feel like I'm not living a nightmare.

What a crazy nut she is.

I actually saw men in full VFW gear yawning on the convention floor. These men have been in the trenches, they are behind Senator McCain, but they are obviously bored with the same old rhetoric,. My father served as a helicopter door-gunner in Vietnam. He witnessed the deaths of many of his friends and platoon members during that struggle, and he is a staunch Obama supporter ( after being a Hillary Clinton supporter). I am tired of the GOP's attempts to make themselves the champions of the military. The GOP has done little or nothing to help the soldiers that have fought for our freedoms. If a soldier is injured in Iraq or Afghanistan, he must, under the current GOP law PAY BACK his re-enlistment bonus, because he was unable to complete his service term. What a load of BS. How can McCain defend this?

all you brainiacs who are happy with the economy vote for Mclame, I hope your taxes skyrocket when Obama is elected , hahahahah

Night Night

that's a good parent to have a prego 17 year old daughter, nice job mom:)

Votin'4 a Chick this year, the corruption is not in Chicago. It is in Bush, Cheney, McCain, and Palin. These corrupt Republicans need to go once in for all. Eight is Enough!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Yes, they did nominate him. He then picked a puppet, Sarah while Obama picked somebody who can challenge him.

Good! As a Democrat it'll be my first vote as a Republican. I can't say I'll always vote Republican, since I'm a Democrat at heart. But I'd rather vote for someone who does have experience over someone who gives nice speeches.

McCain/Palin 08!!

Who cares !

John Mcain please let Sara take that baby home to bed ..........

When the Left dogs on Sarah Palin, it gives me great comfort. Because that just shows me that McCain made a GREAT pick. She has energized the base and that matters alot more than a few Hillary crossovers. The left SHOULD be scared. An energized conservative base was what lost the election for the Democrats in 2000 and 2004. You guys got nothin on Palin.

McCain/Palin
A Hero and A Hottie

thegreatamericablog.blogspot.com

After listening to Governor Sarah Palin's speech.., the real question is: Do I or (we) want four more years of the same ? I don't.

nominate a crook

All of Chicago's politicians are not corrupt. In fact most of them are not corrupt. People are judging my town from things that happened years ago. Apparently Alaska's politics are dirty to because she is under investigation. Explain that. I don't think we have begun to see the mess of this character here. Just based on an email that I recieved today she has some big ole scary skeltons that are about to come out. Her opponents tried to treat her with respect but she opened the door. You think they found out something about Edwards wait until you see the mess on her.

Truly sad day in the history of the Republican party.

Is this something to be proud of?

SO !

Obama/Biden 08-12 any questions? Mcain threw away the victory on his birthday!!! it will haunt you forever john

I guess the economy is good for the republicans views because they did not talk about it and how they plan to turn it back. We need jobs and better school for our kids and one more term of Bush/Chenney with continuation of McCain palin is the last thing we need.
For people who said that Palin had more vote in her election as governer than Biden did as president, I want them to know that Biden was not on the barlot caucus past Iowa. You cannot take vote from one state and generalize the situation. I guess the same situation apply for that person when it come to his failed presidency bid as well. Biden is a long time experience senator with far more vote in all his reelection than that person who stated that comment and Palin combine. Biden is ready for the job when Palin is going to be an intern for the job.

LIKE CHRIS MATHEW WILL SAY hah! this unbelievable.....well let see what Mcbush is going to say

I am truly disgusted by the way Guiliani and Palin undermined the work that Obama has done as a fighter for Civil Rights and as a Senator. As I recall, at the DNC last week, Republicans were spoken of with grace and humility and then differences of opinion/policy were stated. The RNC's verbal bashing filled with contradictions and divisiveness; it's deplorable and disappointing!

John McCain should be prosecuted for child abuse. The crime that he has orchestrated against Brooke Palin should not be allowed in this country. What a sick, desperate man. I for one thank my God that Sarah Palin is not my Mother!! Every good parent in America should be outraged that these two people have chosen to use an innocent 17 year old for their political gain. Good parents defend their children, not offer them up for public humiliation. I hope Palin is ready for real politics, her daughter may be off the table, but she is certainly not. Country first? She represents Sarah first. Cue the hook, your 15 minutes of fame are just about over!

All I can say is OMG. I am a registered republican and I am ashamed. What did I hear tonight? War! Win at all cost! Make no acceptions! Look at the crowd! This is not the America I was born into! You can argue "experiance" argue "who is ready". What I would like to argue is "what is being American about". The GOP will trash America more than it has been trashed so far. I will truley be afraid should the republicans take office once again. I am older and wiser but the GOP is not.

Obama? He talk so good, that sounds like an empty can.

Palin Delivered. Yes. She delivered pain.

I must say, I have not ever seen a candidate who was so ready to ridicule, demean, and dismiss a fellow candidate as she did with Obama. It seemed like the crowd just loved her any way, inspite of the joy she seemed to take in bullying and cutting down another human being. This is not appealing to me, to say the least.

And I still have no idea what she wants for this country that is positive.

I'm expecting mccain and the repubs to pull out all the stops during this campaign cause they know it's a long shot for him to win.....yea they nominated mccain, but they didnt want to....they dont like him, but they have no one else to put up there......so stop one was getting palin as vp, trying to get women on your side.......stop two is trying to connect to all white americans(they've already started, just look at the convention and the early commericals mccain got going at obama "will he help your family" and he shows 2 little white kids)....seriously, as a man of color, i feel so alienated looking at that convention, but anyway......i figure stop three gonna be some scare tactics.....and stop four gonna be more race and sex driven things......

Hillary Clinton was my pick. She has the intelligence, wisdom, grace, audacity, experience, and know how to be a leader. Palin is just another puppet for the Republicans. At least this time, she can read a speech and knows big words. As a working mom and a child of the sixties and the feminist movement, the republicans got it wrong thinking that they can sway Hillary votes for Pailn. She and McCain have no idea what the people want or need. I'm officially voting for Obama! Bring the troops home! Universal Health Care! Leave no child behind! Not on the way side for your career! Pro-life can also mean using birth control people! Palin was nasty, rude, and definitely not my idea of The HOTTEST Pick! She's the WORST pick!

McCain lost this race when he selected McMoose.

This time the same old republican tactics won't work no matter how they dress it up. The party is trying hard to stay together but thanks to Bush and company (and really, thanks!) the damage has been done.

Farewell and goodriddens!

Mc Cain Isn't Reagen, he's another Bush. All he knows is bomb bomb Iran and drill drill drill. Palin is more interesting but is so far out that she won't make a good leader. Her line is veto veto veto.

Replace McCain with Palin! "Palin, Palin, Palin, Palin, Palin, Palin!!!

Let's get ready to RUMBLEEE....Your going down McCain

Will McCain be able to answer for 8 years of Bush Cheney? Will McC ain be able to answer for exploding debt? Will McCain offer an economic plan that is not invisible hand and Lauffer Curve? Will McCain apologize for mocking community organizers whose service, often voluntary, goes unseen and unheard, but deserves every bit of honor as our fellow Americans in uniform? Will McCain apologize for Katrina, Enron, WorldCom, the sub-prime crisis, lack of agricultural inspections, no civil rights enforcement, and HUMAN RIGHTS violations of torture? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I doubt it.

Hey all talking about 'big government'. I'm from Toronto and I guess we have what you are referring to 'big government', we pay higher tax. When we have inflationary pressures interrest rates go up as does the cost of everything!But guess what! We don't have an epidemic of home forclosures, we have pulic health care, we have a working public transport system that you can get nearly anywhere on, our workplace laws protect us pretty well and we generally only have to work one job to pay the rent.We are hurting under the same global economy your Repulicans have ruined, yet we are lucky that our change of government bought us some security in these critical times.I feel incredibly sorry for a country that continuously votes for a government that scares the death out of the public such that it belives the only purpose of government is to create war to protect it.Please stop voting against yourselves, as whom you put in power matters. There are innocent people dying everywhere because of your religous vendettas, it is so terribly sad...

so... they will lose

yawn

Whatever, he still won't win. I can't wait to send that first mistress and first cheerleader home.

Great job, new media. Don't let the Repugs turn this into 1980 again.

Obama/Biden 08

.....to the sound of America shuddering!

It doesn't say much for the Republican Party if they would nominate a guy for President who doesn't pick a running mate from truly qualified individuals, but one who didn't even know what a VP's job entailed.

Looks like another Republican presidential candidate who has an agenda for oil . . . just like Bush.

Well, Hillary taught them well. Dirty nasty attacks work for the Repugs.

Barack still gets my vote. Good, but no cigar.

Obama/Biden 08

Why did they nominate McCain tonight and leave her nomination until tomorrow? Strange, isn't it? That wasn't an acceptance of the nomination because she is as of tonight, still the presumptive nominee. Were they waiting to see if anymore skeletons show up by morning before the roll call for VP?

Sadly, so far, the RNC has been a return to dividing a nation instead of uniting it and using fear to cut that swath. They will continue to do that in the rest of the world too if they retain the grasp on the White House.

My God !!!!! what are these re-publicans thinking ???..some gall. Palin is so silly she does'nt see herself as being used by john mcsame to promote his agenda. And talking about experience.......what experience does she have to do anything ?The GATHERING of ODD PEOPLE ( GOP ) must be really desperate and panicky to continuously glorify Palin. She better start learning the rules in DC before she gets there, IF, she ever gets there. What a bunch of shameless, hypocritical empty suits.

Can the Republicans pay some minorities to attend so they don't look so white washed?

Am I the only one that finds her voice terribly irritating. It's screechy and reminds me Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady

McCain is now officially in the pocket of the agents of intolerance he once warned us about.

It's time for the Republican party to be swept out of office at all levels of government.

These evil people will kill the goose that lays the golden egg in their maniacal quest to get more money and power.

The first time I didn't need to take an Ambien to go to sleep. Need to Tivo it and run it over and save on copays for prescriptions.

I'm going to be completely honest here...I'm terrified, and here's why...McCain might have a chance of winning this election seeing how the polls have been really tight. And if he does win this election (God forbid) He's...(sighs) he's an old man, and to be honest i don't see this guy lasting much longer, that would make the inexperienced VP President of the United States. We would literally would be the laughing stock of the world, no one would take us seriously any more, not that they do now thanks to Bush, but even so we would be in a worse situation. McCain should have chosen a more experienced VP candidate, not for his sake of winning the election (his interest), but for the best interest of the American People, We need a LEADER that has our interests not his own interests! That's why I'm voting for OBAMA

As a Republican for my entire life I always thought that small government, lower taxes and incentives (lower taxes) for coporations and the rich would do what they did during Reagan's administration. Living in South Africa for the last six years and experiencing first hand the hatred foreign people from all over the world feel for the US has changed my feelings. The Republican government of the last eight years is anything but "small government" spending more than our children can ever reasonably pay back. Selling their case by activating FEAR in the hearts and minds of Americans is reprehensible. What has happened to the America that has integrity in the world? The America that doesn't trade money for policy around the world? The America that respects people in their speech and actions. The violence and distrust around the world is being fueled by this lack of integrity in politics all over the world as other governments learn and model themselves after us! Stealing from the poor and giving to the rich is a disease rampant in our world at a time when the environment is suffering, there is less food for the poor, and less being put into alleviating starvation, disease, and suffering than into our war machines, private planes, and protected properties of the rich. Fear is keeping us from becoming who we might become. It is time for HOPE and LOVE in this world or there won't be a world to be rich in.

These repubs are becoming real clowns. Now they have their clown-ette.

Glad I'm with the DNC if this is what the RNC has to offer.

i think gov.palin gave a moving speech tonight about sen.mccian,but she did not say one thing about how she would lead this country if she was pres.she did not go in to deatial,about the econ.edua.h/care.sec or jobs.thats what i want to here.i do not vote for party i vote for the man i think is going to do best jobs.not for who has the most wise cracks or who can trash the other the best.to me both parties are acting not even as good as elem.school children.you need to stick to the iussues,this is about the poeple.and not about sen.obama or sen.mccian.

Voting' 4 a Chick this year... what was up with the nasty tactics…from the republicans….it sounded like a Hitler rally.
Republican always goes after the simple minded people (Voting' 4 a Chick this year...) or small government because they can easily be controlled…they have showed to me yet again, they will stoop to scum to get their way. They offered nothing to solve solved the countries problems.

Living in California, a state that is without a working budget from July 1, and a Democrat controlled legislature, that wants to spend without any means to pay for it but to tax. What makes anyone in their mind think we need more of this at the national level?

Will it be McCain or Obama there must be fiscal restaint. The Country can not keep writing checks that the banks will not have the funds to cash.

Remember that you can't have a love for fine wine, (Democratic Programs) unless you have the means to pay for them.

VOTE McCain + Palin 2008.

Just wondering:

When are we going to hear the plan on the following:
Economy
Energy
Global Warming
Health Care
Education
Veteran Benefits
Teachers Pay

oh wait never mind, you all don't have a plan....what was i thinking? This country fell for this hate filled garbo twice now.....and sadly there are about 25 million hard headed evangical nuts out there that we can do nothing about (i would even do a 2 ofr 1 trade with Mexico on that one) that want to the status quo. But Not this time, and not this country and not THAT McCAIN/PALIN!

Veterans for Obama

I am appalled that Republicans havent learned that the boisterous, rhetoric filled cowboy politics has earned Bush and team a whopping 27% approval rating..

The more they divide the country the less appealing Mccain/Palin will be ...

Ron Paul is running his own convention.

If a maverick reaches accross party lines, then McCain has lost his

bearings and is officially a sidekick

Im so exited now,wake me when Obama wins.

John McCain is a reformer who has the experience and integrity to be our next President of the USA and I will PROUDLY vote for him come November!
McCain and Palin 08!

If I've seen any "yahoo's" it has been at the Demo convention. And talk about "party whoops!" You people are so funny! Anorth, you with with a steel trap mind, who would consider your opinion? I listened to Obama until I got fed up to the teeth with his trying to tromp all over Senator McCain incessantly and with plenty of lies thrown in. He has been smart- talking about him like a little bratty four year old. He deserves every single thing he is getting and a whole lot more. And his angry wife found out that her rhetoric was a bit much too. She can't hold a candle to Cindy McCain. A real lady.

McBush could have chosen buksbunny for vp. It would have been better.

and say hello to the next President of The UNITED States of America...Barack Obama!

McCain/Palin '08 = WAR WITH RUSSIA/ERAN....

LETS NOT GIVE THEM THE CHANCE.....NO MORE WARS!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

How about McCain the Adulterer, who's been on just about every VA/Arms Committee for the Last 26 year, but continues to vote against those GI's and Veterans he supposedly supports. Please check the record before writing.
ALSO, He/Bush sent me and my fellow Brother/Sister in arms into a War that was over in 2003 (Regime Change) Taking us away from the true Mission of getting Osama Bin Ladden, and has us in a Civil War that we started off poorly equiped (ARMOREDHUMVEES/Body Armor) for the first 3 years. Please... Besides how do you Win a Civil War you don't belong to??

GO MAC GO!!!

Luv ya Mac!!!

Say no to corrupt Chicagoesc Politics...

McCain/Palin '08

McCain thinks he has re-energized the Republican yahoo's (party – whoops) with Palin but infact when all of her twisted facts are revealed (every day there is something new thanks to the wonderful investigative skills of the media), this will be the worst decision that he has ever made.

She is nothing more than a glorified wanna-be who already has clearly shown that her political agenda trumps her family. She doesn't have a solid issue to stand on and so instead she spews sarcastic one-liners like she some tough broad to be afraid of because she's from Alaska. I don't think so!!!

As a woman, I found her display of rhetoric unflattering, unintelligent and she is not the type of woman that I want representing this country at all.

How can anyone compare her to Margaret Thatcher? She is not even in the same playing field or category.

what was up with the nasty tackics...from the republicans.... I was pretty pist. To many people out there need health care, jobs etc... bring our troops home... what was that about.... I'm lost, it was about attacking Obama... and whats wrong with community organizer, he helped alot of people.

Yawn.

Two nights ago, the audience at the RNC was filled with old white guys. Now the hall is filled with women and a handful of minorities. Have the wives of the delegates been allowed in? During the DNC, CNN ran the demographic makeup of the delegates on the fact cards. Why aren't there any for the RNC? I would like to know, even if it's less than 1% for every group except old whte guys.

Ummm, can McSame do a speech tomorrow that actually mentions something about what he and Palin will do to help our country?

I watch CNN political coverage because I expect it to be analytical. It was really flat tonight. Did you guys get your hands slapped because Campell Brown did her job? Does that mean you won't do it anymore.

I guess I'll watch someone else. I am disappointed.

I'm a die-hard Democrat but still like to give ear to what the other side has to say. So tonight I thought most speakers were effective rallying their base w/o making me feel like an alien in my own country for being a Democrat. The exception, though, was Giuliani...his comments berating the value of a community organizer and that Obama has never led anything were insulting and ludicrous even for the wise man who put all of his marbles for the Presidency in one state. If all the Republicans have to offer again is who is best to keep us safe, then perhaps they should propose that every four years we settle for the highest ranking military professional or Congress person with most military experience...wouldn't that save the drama?

I think sarah will make a great v.p, she is really intouch with all the problems facing the u.s.a., we need to drill now!!!!!!!!! she knows the oil is there for us. She is a hard working gal that has a sharp mind and will not back down she knows what it means to run something like lets see a STATE i think she will do fine just fine. WAY TO GO JOHN GREAT PICK FOR YOUR V.P.

WAR
FLIP FLOP
WAR
WAR
BIG OIL
DRILL DRILL DRILL
MORE WAR
4MORE YEARS BUSH POLICIES
BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN
IRAQ 100 YEARS
NOT PRO- CHOICE

NO WAY NO HOW NO MCAIN !!!!!!!!

There are less than 1 million people in Alaska (670,000), and this is the extradionary Executive experience Palin touts ! ?

More Moose than people.

1) I guess Palin finished McCain BOOTCAMP !!!
2) McCain & Palin shouldn't have the same speech writer
3) Is Ebay a Republican sponcer??? WHY ARE WE HEARING ABOUT THIS JET???
4) Why are Republicans wearing buttons that say HOTTEST VP???

I heard allot at the Republican convention but I didn't hear what most important. I heard about pipes and insults and attacks but what about the plan. Where is the Maverick plan, what are they planning to do, and how do they plan to do it. They can say any and everything about Obama and Biden but one thing they can't say is they don't have a plan for the economy and the Iraq war. Wheres the republican plans. Does anybody know.

Wow how exciting...anyone got another telephone directory i can read during tomorrows convention?

I just thought it was funny, and don't know if anyone else caught it but, when CNN announced today that McCain got the nomination at the RNC convention they said he was the Official Democratic Nominee. LOL. I just had to say something. Sorry if I wasted anyone’s time.

BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*
I DONATED to Barack Obama TONIGHT...

Thanks SARAH..

Obama/Biden.. 2008, 2012..

I'm not sure that Republicans represent all a broad group of Americans. I am a white female and was shocked at the almost complete lack of diversity in the crowd at the convention. I had to rewind my Tivo to make sure I was not mistaken. I think this is shocking and should be a concern to all Republicans and should be pointed out.

there goes the neighborhood

She may want to rethink the pitbull mentality... Biden will eat her lunch!

I thought I heard alot of Ron Paul nominations

I just heard a story about John McCain. It seems that he was a POW in Vietnam. I wonder if he will bring that up.

ALL I see hear is eyecandy

I'm so happy about Palin!! Go Palin!!!!!!

Goode evening,

Congratulations are in order respectfully!

This election is about issues and not personalities since frankly taste is quite questionable. People do not carry in their pocket book a photo of candidates they carry money from solutions! This election, we cannot afford to run away from all of our responsibilites!

Boooo Cnn

They have to.Nobody else will run for the job and he was their patsy.

The floor of the Republican Convention looks a lot like the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Doesn't that tell you something about this party? That maybe they don't have the interests of normal Americans at heart?

It's the economy, stupid!

HIS SPEECH. WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL KILL KILL KILL KILL DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL.

The answer is no. She doesn't appeal to me. She is like a Harry Potter character.
Her message and delivery were so nasty the American public doesn't to go there.

She is nasty, inelegant, racjy and rough. Her whinny voice is a small indication that the American public will not enbrace her.
It isn't the media, it's her. She is bad news.

God help us if he is elected

I could understand why Obama needs Biden, but what in the hell is John McCain doing with Palin? America is gone to the dogs. So if John McCain dies we have Sarah Palin and a bunch of kids in the White House. Can she really focus on her kids? Or will she turned them over to foster care to take care of the country? This is a scandal John McCain. Very very poor judgment.

Nice job of reporting that the Democrats have nominated John McCain for president during your RNC convention coverage. Are your editors asleep, or are you so biased you can't to put words "Republican" and "President" together in a sentence?

I noticed all the speakers for the GOP are ACTUALLY taking the time to say how they can/will improve America's weakness' and increase our strengths. John McCain not only has the fortitude but also the intelligence to do so. Barak Obama, on the other hand, continues to promise "change" and "opportunity" and many other vague words to sway voters who aren't intelligent enough themselves to pick up a newspaper. He talks about how the government screwed up in the past, yet what has he done as a US SENATOR?? If Obama wins this election, it's because American voters listen too much to Hollywood and lofty words, not actual promises. I for one am casting my vote for John McCain, and I hope you do too.

If McCain gets elected America will be worse of the "McSame". You can sell that on E-bay.

Palin is a great choice. She's real. That's rather unique in politics.

poor republicans. they have the two weakest candidates in history.

and no harry reid pulling strings behind the scenes on his marionettes, to keep people from believing anyone wanted hillary to be president. don't worry, nothing to see here, reid made sure the illusion was perfect for a "unified" party. what a joke! a day later he wants to exterminate lieberman for not beckoning to his command.

Surprise?

What a waste of precious votes.

LOL!!!

the mess left to us, in November

These folks are……nuts!?

These people are not leaders……….they're not acting like leaders (except Huckabee) …………I dont know what they are, what they're saying or trying to say…..contradictions or insults seem to be their red meat

definitley not the right people right now

Obam/Biden

Or Ron Paul

The Republican party is presently unsafe at any speed……seriously

The fat lady is warming up her vocal cords for the republican party.

Was this the only thing left in the bottom of the barrel? John McSame cares about nothing and no one. He said he does not even know what the economy is.

So?

HERE COMES THE PAIN.

NO WAY. NO HOW. NO McCAIN

Wow, what a surprise – didn't even know he was running.
