Comments on: McCain Accepts http://www.robertdicus.com/2008/09/mccain-accepts/ My Life in Print Fri, 20 Mar 2009 00:45:48 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Robert http://www.robertdicus.com/2008/09/mccain-accepts/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Robert Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:38:20 +0000 http://www.robertdicus.com/?p=157#comment-41 Television viewership estimates are in and McCain's acceptance speech outpaced Obama's according to some and equaled it in others. Minimum estimates projected 42+ Million people watching either McCain or Obama giving their speeches. Palin's in contrast was at 37+ Million and Biden came in at 24+ Million. <p> </p> Polls coming out today show the election in a dead heat. The remaining 60 days and debates will determine who our next President is. Our nation seems to agree on one thing, this election is one of the most important decisions we will make in our lifetime. Hopefully, the right decision will be made and the man chosen will do what's right for the country.

I generally know their stances on the questions asked already but it's always nice to hear the words come from their mouths as a direct answer to the question. <p> </p> The internet gives us so much data to mine when evaluating the candidates these days. If we don't use it, it's our own fault. However, some of the data is of course fabricated and media propaganda so even then, you have to keep an eye out for the truth. In politics, finding truth is like searching for the fountain of youth. I haven’t seen more than a few clips from it but I am planning on watching it.

If not, you can see them on godtube.com I had our students watch the interviews, too. You're right, we need to be sure what and who we are voting for.
