A lot of how this convention will play out for voters, is on John McCain now because he has to give specifics and details about how he's going to solve the issues the country is facing. It'll be interesting to hear the specifics and the direction he has in mind.

You are right, Mike. Palin has the base energized, but McCain will need to draw from the middle in order to win in November. It is a difficult line to walk because this country has been so divided by the media's constant railing on Bush and the current administration policies. If John goes too far he can lose the base, not far enough and he doesn't get the Reagan Democrats, it is a tough job.
