Who else thinks Palin's speech will be great?

[mystieus]

Considering she majored in journalism in college and was a sports announcer. I think she will hit all major talking points and the head with precision.

[bunkerbuster1]

1. It will outdraw McCombover's acceptance speech, ratings-wise

However, I doubt it'll draw more than 3/4 the 38 million who tuned in to Obama last Thursday.

[catgirl]

2. It'll be a great joke and a great lie, I'm sure.

[stray cat]

3. She has had days to practice the speech they prepared for her - she should nail it

Anything less than that would be a joke. All she has to do is deliver a teleprompter message without laughing.

[melody]

12. Not enough time in the world for her to do well enough to pass muster n/t

[A-Schwarzenegger]

4. Yeah, the generic VP speech they wrote before she was even picked.

And with her commanding oratorical delivery... :*

[OwnedByFerrets]

5. Well, being as she didnt write it and she will read it off

a teleprompter, it will probably be acceptable.

[elleng]

6. I expect it to surprise a lot of people,

alert dems to job that has to be done; will attract a lot of attention.

She is smart and attractive. She's a 'new' player, will feel like breath of fresh air, and as someone here has said, part of 'reps for change' meme.

[GoesTo11]

7. From previews, I think a lot of lines will be bricks.

But they'll be applauded.

[Bobbie Jo]

8. Does she have any acting skills?

She's gonna need em.

[Chasing Dreams]

9. It will be great - M$M will tell us so - and backfire on them in an odd way.

McCain's speech tomorrow won't "live up to" Palin's!
:rofl:

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

10. Tom Brokaw is already getting shivers

[melody]

11. You know many bad journalists and sports casters there are?

I'm expecting her to do adequately. And then look like a big putz.

[Captiosus]

19. I think..

all this focusing on attacking Obama will eventually backfire.

Yesterday it was all:
POW, attack, POW, attack, POW, attack, POW, "angry left", oh and Thompson's endless throat clearing.

Tonight hasn't been much different.

This stands in stark contrast to Denver where the DNC exuded hope, unity and had every major speaker laying out some part of democratic policy, even while drawing their attacks on the republicans. So far I have heard little to no real attempts from the repubs at the RNC which explain policy. This could so easily be put right into Obama's "More of the Same" message.

[Lil Missy]

13. I'm sure it will be better than McSame's

[quantass]

14. I agree 100% -- lets not forget she has 10 confirmed Speech Writers working with her for days

Without question it will be a home run...And they released a portion of it already and it sounds good so far.

[1corona4u]

15. I guess it depends on who wrote it, and whether or not she can follow the prompter.

[Wapsie B]

16. Only if there's enough cleavage shots.

Cause there ain't noth'n coming out of Barbie's mouth that's not the same old same old.

[mzmolly]

17. Aside from the nasally, grating nature of her "hawkey Mom" voice,

I think the Journalist will do well in front of the camera.

[Danger Mouse]

18. It'll probably be good enough...but not even remotely close to Obama's.

[kwenu]

20. I'm sure she will be better than McCain but that's not saying much.

[mamalone]

21. Why certainly, it'll be great!

It will also be heartwarming!
.... courageous!
.... gutsy!
.... innovative!
.... bold!
.... stirring!

and of course brilliant!


ohhh, yeah... all that stuff... :eyes:

[Captiosus]

[complain jane]

23. If she doesn't nail this speech she should give it up tonight.

[kwenu]

24. Duplicate.

[LWolf]

25. I predict

it will be better than McCain's, which isn't saying much.

You let me know, and I'll take your word for it. This is the decompress, de-stress portion of my day, so I won't be watching something on tv likely to raise my blood pressure. ;)

[Punkingal]

26. They will say it is, even if it isn't.

I guess I have to watch and see for myself.
