SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: And good morning from the CNN Election Center. I'm Soledad O'Brien with continuing coverage of the 2008 Republican convention which is taking place in St. Paul, Minnesota. Partly cloudy in the twin cities today, everybody is talking about Hurricane Sarah though. Sarah Palin, John McCain's new running mate is already causing a big stir. Early reaction this morning from her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden. Listen.</s>SEN. JOE BIDEN (D), VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I didn't hear the phrase middle class. I didn't hear a single word about health care. I didn't hear a single word about helping people get to college. I didn't see a single word or phrase about how to deal with the retirement security for people and social security. I didn't hear the word Afghanistan or Pakistan mentioned, where the terrorists live, I mean, where al Qaeda is.</s>O'BRIEN: Well, certainly Joe Biden didn't love the speech, but there were plenty of people in that convention hall who say it was a home run. In just a minute, we're going to get a look at some of the highlights of the speech, also take a look ahead to John McCain's speech, which is expected tonight. We'll check in with Jessica Yellin right after this short break. Stay with us.
