Sarah Palin's Speech At the Republican Convention. I Admit, She Hit A Home Run.

She did a great job pointing out exactly who Obama isnt!! I was a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton...on the fence about who to vote for...MY MIND IS MADE UP TONIGHT!! She is a strength both parties were missing with the nominees of choice. I loved her poise and strength throughout her speech. Her realism as a normal person just like you and me. She is truly a powerhouse.

Ok I'll admit she hit a home run when it comes to slams and smears. Guess those conservatives can now choke on their words, since she has started the attacks I'm sure now she's "open season".

She definitely did hit a home run right out of the ball park. But, her speech was full of truths and not attacks. Attacking her is sexist, but discussing what you think is wrong with things she believes is not. That is what some do not understand.

She did do a good job. One thing I can say is that if Obama is elected there isn't going to be an drilling for oil in Alaska. From what I hear she is a b*tch and she will not let them drill if she isn't the vice president. Good luck getting her to comply with the democrats.

Good for her she made the Democratic party look immature. SHe knows what she is doing, I think they have a strong team!

I just finished watching her acceptance speech also. I thought it was great. I loved all the sacrasm and thought she did a wonderful job addressing the real issues of this campaign.

Gov. Sarah Palin rose to the challenge and gave a great speech. She is a strong and intelligent woman, and certainly a force to be reckoned with. Her experience certainly exceeds that of Obama. It will be interesting to see how McCain follows up tonight. The Republicans have the market on principles and wisdom that is needed to keep America strong. All I heard in the democrat convention is that most Americans are standing in soup lines, feeling guilty about the success of the USA, believing life is a disaster and our only hope is to just sit and wait for Obama to bail us out. Her nomination has revealed how nasty the liberal womens lib movement is. They have made clear that a woman doesn't count unless she is a leftist liberal. Otherwise, it's under the bus for you, baby! In adddition, the manner in which the liberal media have attacked her (far out in front of Obama/Biden) shows that the media is extremely biased toward the left, and has no interest in reporting the facts. djbtol

I watched her speech just a few minutes ago, and this was what was running through my head; "...I'm not impressed. Got claws, dearie? That's good. Lets see how real battle is waged." You're definitely right Lloyd. It's on.

Well, I will admit that she was a clever speaker who nicely spoke about her family and background. And she was funny. I actually liked her pitbull joke. Then she went into her cynical attack mode. So she was the governor of a large state. But the population is small. Mayor of a small town? I used to live in a small town larger than that. Also in many towns and cities the "city manager" type actually has more to do with the running of the city or town than the mayor does. As for her criticism of community organizing. How does she think things start? Grass roots, little people who are tired to being run over by the established customs. Women can vote due to community organizing. Where did civil rights start?, How about labor rights and 40 hour work week. Ordinary people got together and discussed their common problems and how to solve them. So that is not important? What about taxes, health care and jobs? Yes she spoke well and maybe some women and even Hillary supporters may vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. I wish them good luck. And while I am on my soapbox if the Republicans take over abortions will be illegal. Whether or not you are pro or anti abortion rights, if abortions are made illegal some women will be hurt or even die needlessly because they no longer have a choice. The battle is on!

You took the words right out of my mouth, Lloyd. All of the talk I'd been hearing these past few days about how Biden had to tread carefully in the VP debate that he wasn't too tough on her so he'd be accused of attacking a woman, well now the gloves can come off, no problem! May the best man or woman win, indeed, and although I'm a woman I'm putting my money on the men in this one. Ironically, it will be much better for women if the guys do win! Annie

Her speech was the same old drivel written by one of Bush's buddies. She did a wonderful job of delivering it. That's about all the good I can say about it. Most of the speech touted "change." What change? There were no specifics of any kind, no reference as to what change. And isn't that borrowing a bit much from Obama? The crap she spouted about Obama was laughable. She is a nobody from nowhere and I'll hope she goes back when this is over. Anyone who thinks that the McCain/Palin ticket is change needs to get a good dictionary and look up the meaning of the word. I'm looking forward to the VP debate. I hope Biden kicks her "pitbull" a$$ back to Alaska.

My husband loves listening to all the speeches but i don't I just heard the excerpts and commments on the morning news. It seem like folks were impressed with her. What I think is intersting is the fact that finaly no matter who wins some of our stupid glass ceilings will come down. I tend to be passive about the President, since I know I couldn't do the job and I don't ever know the whole story about what they have to deal with. But I hate George W. Bush and if this gets me on somebody's list well that's OK too.

She hit a homerun how? Palin made alot of snide remarks and sought to push the republican agenda with their attacks and little substance. Her attack on community organizing was short sided and a poor choice that will backfire. Working in the PTA is a form of community organizing, and being the Mayor of a small town is nothing but community organizing. I was disgusted as she stooped to the level, but everyone ate it up. She was speaking to the right crowd too, nothing of substance and she did a good job? I think what you are saying is that her speech was energetic and that she got some people on board last night, but in reality she just took a page out of McCain's sad attempt to discredit Obama. Giulliani did a better job and I would have never voted for him.

I dont mean to point out your race or anything, I am glad that we have African-Americans like you that vote with sense. And I thank you for that. Anyways her speech tonight was a nice one, she did really well she could have talked about herself more but other than that it was perfecto.

I wasn't sure who I would vote for before, though I was sure it wasn't going to be for Senator Obama. After watching the debate between him and John McCain with Rick Warren, I had decided it would be for McCain. I was very impressed with him at that point. As soon as I heard he was running with Governor Palin I knew I was making the right decision. Now I'm more than sure and am finely very excited about this race. Bring it!

Lloyd, should I ever find myself single again...would you marry me? LOL This was one of the best posts I have seen today, kudos to you! At first I thought it was a great sppech, then she started digging her hole with me and by the end of it I was thinking shame on McCain for such a transparent attempt at getting the female vote. Well, he underestimated this female voter. After last nights spectacle I better not ever hear a Republican mutter the word sexist again. And her slamming of Obama's communtiy organizer experience offended me to no end. I said it in another post and I'll say it again, community organizers are the backbone of this country. Where would disaster victims be without the generousity and commitment of communtiy organizers? I am dissappointed because once again the Republicans have shown us that they are truly the ones that are all talk and no substance. I didn't hear anything about the housing crisis, the way our vets are treated, or anything substantial on healthcare. But I did hear "come drill in my state!" And I know I may get it for bringing this up, but to me the fact she has a pregnant 17 year old does matter to me. I am the first to say don't speak ill of other peoples kids because you never know what your own will do. However, for someone that is anti abortion and is strictly pro abstinence, I have to wonder why she didn't have that talk and instill that value in her own child. I am tired of watching the Republicans make everything about the "war" which I thought wasn't technically a war anymore since Bush claimed "Mission Accomplished". There is a reason why more soldiers are donating to Obama than McCain. I want to finish by saying that once I had time to really digest her speech what I left with was another Republican politician that has one bottom line..oil. She might as well have stood up there with a sign that said "Don't look behind the curtain. My state has oil."

I loved her speech. I thought she did a great job. While she did poke a bit of fun at the other side, I wouldn't say her speech was FULL of attacks and sarcasm. Everything she did mention was directed back at herself and to a point. It wasn't blatant attacks without a point or reason. I think if McCain keeps his mouth shut and lets her talk for the next few months, they just might win.

I can't comment on this issue. As you can see, I am from India and I don't know much about Mrs. Palin. But If you like her, then I would hope that she should get elected.

hey!! I am not in America and I am not an American but this issue is also known in the Philippines. What I could suggest to all Americans is vote wisely. I could tell that.... The candidates in the Republican party are best. They are more experienced and had done many things to serve the people. The Campaign they have made are front page in our international news. We, the people in countries outside America are wishing that you will use your common sense during the time of election.

Lloyd, you are such a typical foolish Republican! Step it up and get with the program, brother! Obama is our savior and Palin is evil; framing it any other way is not helping our cause. If we are to bring this nation to its knees under the almighty power of Presidnet Obama, we can't be masking the truth! Step it up! Vote Obama 2008!
