In the sixth instalment in the series, six members of the panel give their opinion on last week's Republican convention.

Laura Stietz: Sidney, New York "Bush's speech was amazing and moving" Neil Sherman: Germantown, Tenn. "This is the best I have heard from Bush" Jorge Caspary: Tallahassee, Florida "Bush's speech was very effective"

Corey Harrison: Chicago, Illinois "This could win votes, just not mine" Nancy Pew: Seattle, Washington "I found the production to be full of lies" Gary Webb: Sacramento, C'fornia "Bush managed to make me furious"

We asked our panellists: What did you think of President Bush's speech? What impact did the Republican convention have overall?

Will it make undecided and swing voters more likely to vote for President Bush?
