No need to be sorry. I love it when people tell me what they're thinking.
I didn't like her speech, about "small town values". It sounded like they want to return to the 1950s. The whole thing, to me, sounded like a rally for "White America" to stop the Democrates from changing the establishment. So they nominate "wholesome Mrs.America" as a VP. I do agree with you about laying off the personal attacks.
I think this is part of her appeal - especially to the Republican base. What's odd is that she can also appeal to the Redneck crowd too, which I find kind of amazing because those two groups don't always get along.
They're not counting on the other minority folks to come out and vote.
Agreed. This is certainly one of the things they're counting on. They're also hoping that the youth vote doesn't come out too.
Personally, I'd love to see them actually try and reach out to those groups for a change. I think eventually it will bite them in the ass that they don't.
