In November the United States of America will vote for the President of the United States. There are only two candidates who have the opportunity to win enough electoral votes (270) to win the election; Mitt Romney of the Republican Party and Barack Obama of the Democratic Party.
And what happened at the Conventions? What happened to Ron Paul and his delegates? I can remember in past Conventions how it took vote after vote to decide who would be the Party’s President. And if no one could make a majority, then they would pick another. But now? It was all decided way before the Convention even met.
The Republican Convention had many women as delegates and also speakers. Ann Romney made a speech about how great a man was her husband—the Mormon father of her five boys. She was actually a former Episcopalian who converted to Mormonism to marry Mitt. Her parents were not allowed to be in the Mormon Temple for their marriage because they were not Mormon. A few of the delegates were non-white as well as a few of the speakers; Marco Rubio would be an example of a Latino speaker.
The Democratic Convention was noticeably full of women delegates; many of them non-white. Michelle, like Ann, told about how great was her husband and the father of her two girls..
The vast minority were white men as there were a vast number of non-white men at the Convention too. The speakers had most of the non-white people excited at the Convention. Even the speech by Nancy Pelosi, the one whose investments have gone up 876% over her 20 years—how could that happen? One of her main points was women’s choice of aborticide.
