    haha...nice one!

    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 ...

    I don't care what anyone says or thinks about the McCain/Palin ticket....

    She nailed it tonight. Nailed. It. Hard. Obama/Biden oficially have a problem.

    Bravo, lady. Whether I vote for you or not is not the issue....fucking BRAVO!

    Hell, if she were a Democrat, that would qualify her to be president of the United States ...

    People really need to get off this qualification thing ... if Barack is qualified, then so is Palin.

    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.


    see now, at least someone like you can admit something.

    I sit back and watch my dad and some friends cheer on republicans and I say, "meh"

    and then I sit back and watch some other friends and musical idols cheer for Obama and I still say, "meh"

    i think, " yea this speech is good, but where is it coming from?"

    I guess in general I get turned off by politics by their own war within themselves....


    Leiberman's speech was good two nights ago, and look at him.. he changed to independant, and still won his campaign.

    sorry the post said this ...

    I am simply asking what in the last hour "showed she was ready" to be VP ...

    Well she didn't fall flat on her face in the speech like Dan Quayle and he was a VP. ;)

    Sadly with Quayle and Cheyney the GOP has set the bar pretty low on VP qualifications lately. ;)

    OK, I missed the earlier post. My bad. Your point is a valid one.

    I'm still not clear about what exactly she nailed. Her speech was reactionary, and the more reactionary speeches the Republicans make the more trouble they'll be in.

    I think she didn't a pretty good job of laying out the Republican vision of what an Obama regime might look like, and how McCain might contrast that.

    This was Palin's coming out party, nothing more, nothing less, and she absolutely nailed it. What more do I know about her now? She didn't crack, whatsoever, under the immense pressure she had to of felt tonight. That's a good sign.

    In any case - I'm very much looking forward to a Biden/Palin debate. Should make for some must see TV.

    Bravo to Palin tonight. She did what she had to, and I feel she did it with style.
