    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.

    It was still too reactionary. The Republicans have to stop playing defense, and start playing offense.

    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.
    It was no more reactionary than any other Republican or Democratic speech. Republicans don't have the market on such speeches.

    She was great tonight. She showed her ass in a good way. Simple as that.

    We've no idea how this will play out come Nov 4th, but tonight belonged to her. She simply nailed the speech and delivering it. It's not rocket surgery.

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

    She read from a card and didn't get into specifics.
    Now I understand that talking in front of people can be scary, but this speech was a joke.

    And how many politicians still write their own speeches?

    I'm not saying she swayed me to vote for her and McCain, but I thought this speech will go over much better nationally than Biden's did last week.

    Every politician "reads from a card" and doesn't get in to specifics, so I'm not sure what your point is there.

    The chick has balls. That's my point, even though it sounds funny. :)

    I agree, she came off tough ... for their supporters, she killed it.

    but I think overall ... the Republicans might have been a little too tough on the media .... they didn't win any favors, and they (the media) will be like bloodhounds on these two even moreso going forward.

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

    Sounds kinda perverted...This Palin lady does seem to bring out the freaks in people.

    (sidenote, it's brava)

    Ciao!

    I'm glad they didn't pander to the media. Makes me respect their ticket way more.

    FWIW, I'm a registered Independent and have no idea who I'm voting for.

    Not that it matters who I vote for. I live in Portland, OR - we're a blue state no matter what I do.

    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 ...



    Well I'm sure the Democrat's speeches were written for them also so back at you on that comment. :D

    Also whoever wrote her speech should get a raise. lol

    This being her first time speaking to the country/world. She didn't skip a beat and just said everything right. She stood up there and just seemed to nail it. She's new and were still learning about her. But not a bad job for her first major appearance.

    It doesn't mean I'm voting for her party.

    Obama.

    Supposedly he wrote his DNC speech. I did hear that. But to say he "writes his speeches" just isn't true.

    I am a registered independent ... and I'm voting Obama ...

    but I give props where they are due ... for the republicans, she nailed it tonight.

    (for me ... not so much)

    He wrote the DNC speech in '04, he wrote the Reverand Wright speech, he wrote the DNC '08 speech, and he participates in, contributes to, and has the final say in any other speech he gives.
    Funny that all of the most important speeches he's given have been written by him...
