    But remember that the mainstream media is full of morons with no analytical skills. They'll talk shite for three days, then read what's on the Internet, when they'll change their minds.

    it *was* a homerun, for the people in that building

    Incredible? Well, yeah...a lot of what she said was not credible. So, yeah. She was incredible. ;)

    mcjuicy! long time no "see"!

    did these people see the same speech? i did not find one redeeming thing in that....and i went into it thinking i might like her or have a little more confidence in her afterwards. definitely tried to stay open-minded and came out terrified of the prospect of this person as our VP.

    We'll see how it played .... again, in that building, people ate it up.

    But, we'll see how the public actually takes it in.

    The soccer moms were seriously lacking in representation during that speech.

    Or do the soccer moms hang with the Democrats?
    drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"

    Generally, these things tend to go by party lines.

    If you are generally a Democrat, obviously you thought the speech sucked.

    If you are generally a Republican, you are now ready to move to Alaska should the whole "McCain-for-president" thing not work out.

    As a guy who is far closer to the McCain side of the ledger than the Obama side of the ledger, I thought the Palin speech was pretty much a grand slam.

    From a purely political perspective, it accomplished most everything it needed to. This little ol' gal from Alaska kicking The One in the ass.

    I wouldn't expect in Barry fans to think it was any good, just like I didn't think the Hillary speech from last week that everyone thought was so grand was any good.

    True, honestly I don't remember Obama's speech at all from last week.

    But considering expectations were set so low for her, I would have to say it was a successful night for the GOP.

    Now did it sway me from voting third party ... nope. ;)

    The speech that Governor Palin gave was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush's speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we've heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Governor Palin and John McCain want to define 'change' as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that's their choice, but we don't think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change," said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.

    I remember "hope" I remember "change" and I remember a laundry list of promises that will never be met.

    I couldn't bring myself to listen to Palin, but I didn't listen to Biden either. I consider VPs irrelevant. I'll listen to McCain to see what he's shoveling tomorrow, but he's going to have to bring a big one to outdo Obama.

    I have to watch the replay of this speech at home. I am wondering if it's as bad as what this chat is deeming or what. I want to be fair and see what she has to say. I just hope the media is saying she hit it out of the park if she really did or are they just grabbing at straws to make her better than what she is.

    You mean debate. There is only one VP debate so we probably won't see much of her except on the talk show circuit until October 2nd.

    I wasn't here last week and don't have time to read the threads about what people thought of the Democrat convention. But you Obama supporters tonight are cracking me up.

    Why cause Palin did a kick ass speech and IMO that scares you Democrats. Cause now you do have a fight. Palin showed she is ready to be VP and is up for the task.

    I'm still on the fence if I'm gonna vote this time around. But Palin pushed me a tiny bit over towards her and McCain.

    I thought it was funny that the cameras were so close up on the daughters bf. And who told him to chew gum while up on the stage? LOL

    I thought it was a very good speech that accomplished a lot ... and rallied that crowd .. no doubt ...

    but, can you tell me what she did that showed you she was ready for the VP role?

    she read a speech that was prepared for her ...
