This is a horrible rookie speech. I thought she was supposed to be a good at this stuff.

[bushisanidiot]

what happened to all her experience as a sportscaster?

she's not convincing at all.. kind of like a 7th grader giving her first oral book report.

[LiberalFighter]

1. She doesn't have to be good in front of a small crowd in Alaska.

[NotThisTime]

3. I was going to say that, she's small time... nothing more

[avaistheone1]

2. I agree. This speech is very amateurish. And the pitch of her voice is grating.

[krawhitham]

4. I'm sure the media will love it

and then go back to destroying her tomorrow

[live love laugh]

5. It's the delivery--moreso than the speech that is sophmoric. n/t

[ShadesOfGrey]

6. Pathetic. I'm trying really hard not to feel sorry for her.

[TheDonkey]

7. Now that she is spewing hate and getting the rethugs riled up she has improved

she actually is believing herself. It's an interesting thing to see.

[Mojorabbit]

27. Actually

for me she started off very well then it started to get snide and nasty and that did not come off well. Too many women will know just this type of mean spirited person in the workplace. That will be the big mistake in the end.

[BurtWorm]

8. She's going to get good marks from the media for reading it well.

Never mind that it's full of lies and short on substance. She's going to get good marks for "coming out swinging." And for reading it like a media pro.

[Phx_Dem]

9. Speaking in front of actual people is different

than speaking in front of caribou.

[Blue Diadem]

10. Wait til you hear her debate.

She's been known to use color coded index cards or not show up for the debate at all.

[LiberalFighter]

16. What will she do now? They won't allow either to happen.

[Blue Diadem]

17. I was surprised she got away with it for Governor.

One of her opponents said it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen, flipping through the cards after a question was asked.


edited to correct spelling

[LiberalFighter]

19. And Alaskans thought she was ready to be Governor?

[Blue Diadem]

23. Apparently..or as hubby asked me when I told him the story

what kind of voting machines do they use up there?

[LiberalFighter]

25. How many fish they pull out of the ice hole?

[depakid]

11. Her past experience in local news is showing

Her delivery is dull in the same way local news is.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. It's the most conversational speech I've heard on this level

That's going to be a hit. I don't know why we try to pretend otherwise. This doesn't change the situational dynamic but McCain made a very astute pick for VP.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

21. Ok, thats like the 3rd or 4th thread that you've chimed in on how great she was.

We get it, you like her speaking skillz. Any comments on her positions or experience?

[True_Blue]

13. I can't wait until Biden debates her

[Heather MC]

14. I guess it's true you can train a monkey to give a speech

[Doityourself]

15. ITS A FUCKING JOKE!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

18. What was the styrofoam remark? I didn't hear what she said.

[kath]

20. making fun of the Greek columns at Dem Convention - way to address the important issues,

Dumbfuck Barbie.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. LOL! What can be more important than styrofoam?

[Median Democrat]

22. Monotonous - one sentence * two sentence * three sentence * clap (repeat)

I thought the speech was both written and delivered in a very mechanical manner, but Big Media loved it. I am sorry, but I just don't see it. Rudy and Huck gave better speeches.

[tomg]

26. The whole presentation was a weird blend

of stand by your man, gee whilikers pta mom, and a nasty little rodent.
