I know it just started (Palin) sounds and looks

[gabeana]

stiff and contrived

[amyrose2712]

1. Fits right in n/t

[HughMoran]

2. Good

Idjut

[Diane R]

3. She's 'beauty queen saying' the words, but doesn't seem to own them, or understand them.

[livetohike]

4. I can't watch. Maybe she's really nervous

Is her voice high and shrill?

[gabeana]

8. yeah its pretty bad

she is looking at the camera and head shakes a little bit
I'm surprised so far nothing close to the passion of Biden

[WorseBeforeBetter]

14. Sarah Barracuda is not nervous at all.

She's confident and doing the authoritative finger point and the crowd is lapping it up.

But yes, her voice is high and shrill.

[Neecy]

5. this woman is not normal

What's with the stiff jaw? Is she trying to look tuff?

[Mist]

Nervous? And they really dulled down her look--grey suit, lank hair. Damn,

her mouth looks really stiff.

[Mist]

19. Nervous? And they really dulled down her look--grey suit, lank hair. Damn,

her mouth looks really stiff.

[jenmito]

23. Yup. She's definitely trying to look like a "fighter."

I REALLY hope the National Enquirer story is true.

[smoochpooch]

6. Sounds like she's reading to grade schoolers.

"Don'cha know?"

[ColonelTom]

7. She should be comfortable with the teleprompter.

After all, in her first job out of college, she read the sports news on a local Alaskan TV station.

In comparison, Barack Obama was going to law school and being editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review. Elitist bastard. :sarcasm:

[ColonelTom]

24. Is she accepting an Academy Award?

She better stop with the "wow, look at me, all the way from the backwoods to this big stage" and start showing some gravitas soon.

[avaistheone1]

9. She looks like a charade of herself on SNL

Sarah sure is a drama queen.

[gabeana]

13. the black back drop does not help

gives it a claustrophobic feel

[cojoel]

10. Too bad she can't pronounce Iraq

nt

[Bobbie Jo]

11. I've heard this speech 3 times now.

BOMB :nuke:

[ellacott]

12. Her voice is annoying

Just like John McCain's voice is annoying to me.

[Awsi Dooger]

15. She really relaxed when she started mentioning her family

Early she was nervous and rushed

[ellacott]

16. Her voice is annoying

Just like John McCain's voice is annoying to me.

[gabeana]

17. She is not even confident

just said "if elected"

[gabeana]

18. She is not even confident

just said "if elected"

[damndude]

20. the louder the applause the more spectacular the fall

[aquart]

21. Did you see proud papa dump the baby on his little girl?

Did you see the shotgun bridegroom holding Bristol's hand like his life depends on it?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

27. Yeah, ol' Levi doesn't look too thrilled to be there. (n/t)

[aquart]

34. Not Levi. Todd Palin. As soon as the scheduled op was over.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

35. I was responding to your second comment.

But I did notice the hand-off, then the spittle grooming by the little girl. She is a cutie, spit aside.

[yardwork]

22. This is a truly bad speech. Truly bad. Bad even for high school president campaign.

This speech is much worse than I expected. They stayed up all night and wrote this????

[Doityourself]

25. What is that thing..she does with her nose..I hate it

[swishyfeet]

26. So, when do we hear about the economy?

[NotThisTime]

30. keep it going for those not watching, thanks!

[Generic Brad]

28. I predict the MSM will claim she knocked it out of the park

She is easily clearing the bar or lowered expectations.

It sounds more like she's running for a seat on the PTA than national office.

Grrrr.:mad:

[ColonelTom]

29. Wow, we went negative in a hurry, didn't we?

The McSame-Failin' campaign will be headed into regions of the gutter never seen in any presidential campaign before. And that, "my friends," is pretty amazing.

[NotThisTime]

32. In what way?

[ColonelTom]

33. "we" meaning Palin and the Republicans.

Right after the whole family thing, she just started hurling insults. No transition or anything.

[ColonelTom]

31. Does she know the line-item veto for the President is unconstitutional?

Or don't they get the Constitution way up there in Wasilla?
