2008 Republican National Convention

I thought it was interesting how many of the speakers focused on how much our country has developed. They referred a lot to the past, such as the civil rights movement and John F. Kennedy's term. I also enjoyed how they made it a point that we are not done developing. There is so much more we can do to provide for our country. I really liked how the speakers tried to relate to the audience by using their own experiences dealing with family and other issues. They talk about what appeals most to the crowd; less taxes, less government, and more protection. For example, Palin's speech was very family oriented and I think she best connects with the audience, seeing that she has five kids, which one is of special needs. I didn't hear them mention much about the issues I chose (immigration and war on terrorism), but I did hear lots about the economy. They talked about the problem with the mortgages and the high gas prices.
