Episode 210 - Republican National Convention

What an exciting week it's been! Both presidential nominees are official, with Senators McCain and Obama the two main contenders in November.

But it was the Republican National Convention and John McCain's Vice-Presidential pick that topped the news this week.

GOP Veep choice Sarah Palin is a major topic of discussion in this week's show. We also hear from two New Mexico alternate delegates at the convention weigh in on their thoughts via phone from Minnesota.

We'll be posting blog entries from both delegates, Daniel Enriquez and Chris Livingston, sometime this weekend, so check back!

Our "On The Clock" segment ended with a wonderful little poety corner in honor of Albuquerque's Poetry On The Bus contest. Regular panelist Margaret Montoya read one of the winning poems she found on the city's website.

Unfortunately, the website doesn't match the list of winning poets/poems with the poems' texts; when Margaret Montoya read the wonderful poem that begins "The horner and the drummist tootlelood a minidoo," she didn't know which poet to attribute the poem to.So, check out this website, read the poems, and give kudos to all of the poets!

On Thursday, September 4, Michelle Obama held a voter registration rally at UNM. We included some highlights in our broadcast, but we streamed the bulk of it live on the web. You can watch that video here:
