Reactions to the Republican National Convention

St. Paul, Minnesota, Sept. 1 -- After being at the Democratic Convention for nearly a week, it's now time to see what the atmosphere is like here at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. I must say, there is not that much of a difference. You have the many people carrying John McCain signs, protesters, news crews, and the police.

However, there is one key difference; most of the people here seem to be against Barack Obama and other Democrats as oppose to being for John McCain. This is not to say that most of the people here don't support John McCain, because they do.

But out of the people I interviewed, very little had something positive to say about John McCain without saying something negative about Barack Obama. I had the opportunity the interview quite a few people since most the activities today were cancelled or changed. I'm going to share, in no particular order, some of the questions I asked today and what the responses were.

Me: What inspires you the most about John McCain?

McCain supporter: That he doesn't sit in front of the public every single day and lie to us like Obama does.

Me: What do you think of John McCain's running mate?

McCain supporter: She is beautiful. I think it was the best choice he could possibly make.

Me: Do you think John McCain can win this election?

McCain supporter: I sure hope so. We can't afford to let Obama step foot into the White House. I believe he would destroy it.

Me: How do you think Gov. Palin will do in the VP debates against Joe Biden?

McCain supporter: She will do fine. Honestly, she should be going against Obama considering they have about they same amount of experience.

Me: What does John McCain need to do get win this election?

McCain supporter: He needs to point out all the lies Obama has told. He has a racist pastor, link to a terrorist, and friends with that corrupt developer guy.

Me: What are your 3 most important issues that draw you to John McCain?

McCain supporter: I really don't like John McCain that much but he is sure better than the other guy running.
