This is not a speech. It's a series of one-liners with frequent pauses for applause.

She's absolutely horrible at speaking. She isn't sharing any ideas or plans or solutions.. nothing of substance whatsover.

1. And clearly, the foreign-policy stuff was written for her; she stumbled
over some of that (Russia building a pipeline through the Caucasus) and she has that constant annoying tongue-click. Very distracting. She sounds like a pageant contestant lamely answering a question that's over her head, and her family and friends in the audience are going nuts for her as though she actually said something intelligent.

Whatthefuckever...

2. That's because
the Republicans have no substance! They have one liners.

3. yes yes yes
This speech is nothing but hate - did Rove write it? What an astounding contrast to the Democratic convention.

It's just cheap shots and digs...pathetic. The true side of the Republicans shining bright and shiny for all the world to see.

I'm ready to get the gloves off...get the debates going, baby...this lady is going to get her rump roast handed to her on a platter when she tangles with Biden.

Or is forced to go off script when the media starts asking her questions directly...this woman has nothing. Just an annoying shrill voice.

5. It's like reading the posts on FR, it's all snark and snipes and no substance.
She is a freeper, she is reading the words of another and she is sniping and of course POW POW POW

6. Agreed
Not much into the "vision thing," I guess.

Also, a lot of strawmen in this speech, nonsequitors, etc.

Lotsa good code for the wingers, though.

12. Did she mention where she stands on any issues?
All I her talk about was McCain being a POW and bash Obama.
