John McCain speaking at National Convention

John McCain speaking at National Convention

The last day of the Republican National Convention was everything I could want it to be.  Okay, well I wouldn’t have minded getting to shake hands with John McCain and Sarah Palin, but realistically, that was not likely.   The whole of the convention was wonderful.  We had some great speakers and some great video presentations about our future President, Vice President and their families.  I learned so much about these people; it is impossible not to feel connected to them all. 

McCain’s speech was obviously the highlight of the night.  He was so eloquent and spoke about what is most important to our country right now, the present day changes that are needed and the planning for the future.  Furthermore, even when protesters tried to rudely interrupt his speech, the only notice he gave them was something along the lines of “don’t mind the static”.  I did not start out as a supporter of McCain many months ago, but I can honestly say I am very glad that he is the one that won in the end.  While I love much of what Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney could do for the nation, I really believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin are the best option for the office.  While I have not always agreed with all of McCain’s policies, I really respect that he does what he thinks is right no matter the pressure to follow party lines.  Palin also has gained my respect and trust for the same reason, plus I love that she hunts! 

The day ended with Balloons dropping in huge quantites!  In fact there were so many balloon that I was waist deep in them while standing on my chair!  We all had such fun bouncing them around and popping them.  It was almost impossible to get out of the room with all of them there, and reporters had a hard time getting interviews.  I even heard one such reporter from MSNBC couldn’t even get any interviews because the balloons were stacked higher than her head.  I didn’t see it myself, but it does present quite the visual, don’t you think?

And as a final remark on the convention, if you google my name “Kimberly Peticolas” you will see which papers I have been in.  I even made it in a Spanish newspaper!  It’s all pretty fun!  I think I have handled the press well… at least I hope so.

But all in all, I am sorry to leave the convention.  I met the best people and had the best time.  It was one of the best experiences of my life.  I only wish it could happen every year.  4 Years is a long time to wait.
