For Discussion: Replacement Delegates Needed MOREHEAD, KY (WEKU) - John McCain's acceptance speech wasn't exactly riveting to the Caric family. Out of the whole Caric clan, I was the only one who stayed awake for the whole thing. Grandma Caric and Miss Teen Caric fell asleep down at Uncle Caric house. Up at Caric World Headquarters, Mrs. Caric was also snoozing away.

John McCain wasn't going to get any votes out of the Caric family, but keeping one out of four people awake still isn't good.

The delegates were pretty sleepy at the Republican convention as well. Some were yawning. Many looked haggard and exhausted. Three days of hard partying, big-time Sarah Palin gossip, and uninspired standing ovations were just too much for a lot of the older Republicans.

Not that the younger ones were doing any better.

Either the Republican Party needs to attract a healthier crowd or they should start bringing in "replacement delegates" from India and China for the final night.

They need the diversity anyway.
