9/11 Memorial
Well, first let me start off by remembering all those who died on this day 7 years ago. In remembrance of this day McCain and Obama both left politics on hold for today. Both party representatives made speeches at the temporary memorial in New York City. "The mood was somber, the air was heavy, and the candidates stood side-by-side without saying a word to each other" lisa lerer. That says it all about the candidates on this day. They were able to drop politics to remember this day. “Let us remember that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 are still at large, and must be brought to justice, Let us resolve to defeat terrorist networks, defend the American homeland, stand up for the enduring American values that we cherish, and seek a new birth of freedom at home and around the world." Obama said these words today and on today more than any other they had the greatest meaning. I praise both of the candidates for their words to a nation that still fells the effects of this tradegy. for the full story read http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13392.html

Palin Interview
In my opinion the Sarah Palin interview was Good given her inexperience in foreign poilicy. ONe thing that really stood out among her foreign policy mistakes was her lack of knowledge about foreign. She said that we should invite Georgia into NATO. WHy would we do that and risk war with Russia. Then she goes on to say that we should always leave the fighting to be the last option. I don t know about you but to me that makes no sense, make a descision that almost guarantees war but talk about fighting last? But that aside i saw no other reaons to say that she doesnt know her stuff. BEcause quite frankly she does know about many other things. ALso she has shown herself to be a quick learner, so in time foreign policy wont be a problem.

McCain In THe lead
IN the recent Gallup poll McCain is in the lead By 4%, a very good turn around from weeks before. Although you could say its becuase of the recent RNC and the sensational Palin. Nonetheless it is still 4%, but how long will it last? I believe that once the commodity of a women vice president wears off some of that margin will dwindle. I cant say exactly how it will change, but it wont stay the same for long. The Republican campaign is on an upward trend and that rise will soon decline. BUt for the time being lets hope the republicans enjoy that 4%.
