History in the Making




Current Events:

Wow, There's a whole lot that have taken place this week. The biggest would be history's first African American to ever lead a major party Presidential ticket, Barack Obama-Joe Biden for the democrats. Obama-Biden filled the Invesco Stadium in Denver, Colorado with over 80,000 people at the largest ever Democratic Convention ending Thursday night with Obama acceptance speech.

During the week Obama was endorsed by both Bill and former rival Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, potential first lady Michelle Obama, and a host of other honorable guest. This historical event was said to the most emotional and impacting political event to ever take place in the history of our nation's government.

Also republican candidate John Mccain has selected his VP running partner. 44 year old Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska. Media has describe her as a female younger version of John Mccain because of her conservative views.

There is speculation that by this selection Mccain is attempting to recover female voter who boosted Hillary to given Obama a run for his money. However, this isn't as odd as it may seem as it only plays on Mccain's reputation as being the maverick of the republican party.
