No matter if you bleed red or blue, it’s been an eventful 24-hours for both republicans and democrats.
Republicans now know who they want to fly in Air Force Two. And democrats are still on a high from the convention—with Obama’s speech the cherry on top.
She’s being compared to a “Hail Mary" pass you may see at the end of a football game—risky but with the potential to score big.
"She's exactly who I need. She's exactly who this country needs," McCain says before introducing Sarah Palin to the country.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be on the ballot with Senator John McCain in November.
"She's far more experienced than Senator Obama is," Sam Wakim says. “And she plays hockey so I'm not concerned with her being able to take on Joe Biden."
Wakim is an Indiana delegate from Granger heading to Minnesota for the Republican National Convention.
"If you’re looking for change, Governor Palin and Senator McCain are two reformers who have taken on the establishment, one in Washington and one in Alaska," Wakim explains.
“I’m a Republican,” says Jessie Bochert from Granger. "I voted for Bush in the last two elections and the way our country's gone…it's sad. It's just sad. And I feel guilty. I voted for this man twice. I just can't do it anymore. I can't because I feel like voting for McCain would be like voting for Bush again."
Bochert has been active with the Obama campaign in South Bend. She even recorded last night’s speech on her television, she says, to save a clip of history. Friday, she replays the highlights.
"You can't beat this moment. It's hopes and dreams fulfilled," Bochert says, tears running down her cheeks.
"I think he's the one who can bring our country back to what it was, to what it was founded on."
