Did you watch the recent political conventions?

Jeanne Skinner: “Though I am certain of whom I am going to vote for, I watched both the Democratic and Republican conventions. We do a lot of discussion of politics around the dinner table. I try to keep informed.”

Warren Flynn: “Well, I saw [John] McCain on [The David] Letterman show [recently]. I haven’t watched the conventions, though. I think they’re basically just pep rallies.”

Judy Sheridan: “I only really watched [John] Kerry’s speech at the Democratic convention. I’m interested in watching the debates between Mr Kerry and Mr Bush this fall. I think that will be the thing to watch.”

Robin Hill: “I’m not really into politics so I didn’t really watch them.”

Dawn Ertl: “I’m not interested in politics at all. I didn’t watch them.”

Laura McCormick: “I’m a registered Republican and watched the Republican convention with interest. I was really impressed by the content. It was better than I thought it would be.”
