Will Raleigh’s new convention center boost the downtown economy?
When Raleigh’s new $221 million convention center officially opens Friday, it will have a lot of hype to live up to.

Is Sarah Palin a good vice presidental fit for the McCain ticket?
I usually spend Sunday mornings watching “Meet the Press.” I guess that’s why I’m bringing so many political posts to your attention today. I’m sure we’re going to be hearing a lot about John McCain’s female VP pick in the coming months. Here’s what Raleigh mom Iliana thinks of her:

How do you feel about making eye contact?
I’m big on eye contact. I always look people in the eye. Unfortunately, from time to time, I think some guys mistake this for flirting. But whatever. I think it’s a little rude not to look people in the eye when you’re chatting. Lesley agrees, saying some in the service industry are lacking eye contact.

Is Barack Obama black or white?
When Barack Obama takes the stage tonight to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, undoubtedly there will be more commentary about him being the first African American presidential nominee.
