Members of the El Paso County Republican Headquarters react to the Democratic National Convention. Members say the DNC was more about style than substance.

Nathan Fisk is the Executive Director of the El Paso County Republican Headquarters and he says the convention wasn't about Sen. Barack Obama enough. He says too much attention was paid to people like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy.

Fisk also said the DNC was very glitzy and glamorous with not much meat, but despite that Fisk says Sen. John McCain and Obama are still in a dead heat in Colorado.

Pauline Inghram is a Colorado Springs Republican. "I am going to vote for McCain," said Inghram. She said she paid attention to the DNC and to her surprise, "I think they did a fantastic job."

But Fisk believes the DNC was full of contrast. "In Hillary Clinton's own words, the man is not ready to lead," said Fisk.

Those are words many say are hard to take back. McCain is even using it to his advantage in campaign ads. "Senator McCain would bring a lifetime of experience, I would bring a lifetime of experience and Obama would bring a speech he made in 2002," said Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Fisk also says Obama's rock-star quality hinders people from seeing who he really is making the DNC perhaps less than serious.

"You sort of see this ongoing clash where they're not sure what their message is day to day," said Fisk.

Inghram who was satisfied with how the DNC played out says her team, the Republicans, are going to need to one-up the Democrats. "They better! Yes, they should, but they are going to have to be creative. I think the Democrats have put quite a bit of work into this one," said Inghram.

The Republican National Convention kicks off on September 1ST in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota.
