What I liked most about Gov. Palin's Speech...

Sarah Palin did just what she needed to do - she let all those naysayers and critics know that she wasn't going to let them walk all over her - that she's going to stand up for herself, her family, and her beliefs.

It is obvious that she is not, thank goodness, a Hillary Clinton, and is not going to be complaining that everyone is picking on her because she is a woman - Sarah Palin can hold her own and doesn't need to pull out the gender card.

There is some talk that the Democrats have already figured out that they're not going to be able to fight her and that they will instead ignore and avoid her. They will focus and comparing McCain to Bush and hope that works for them.

It did a lot to energize the base and the party overall, it brought the vibe the party has been lacking for some time now, as did her introduction in to the ticket. I did however find the speach lacking in substance. I was hoping for a lot more details. I was also disapoiinted that it was more a "comercial" speech instead of utilizing her off the cuff and free style speaking manner, that was what I was hoping to see more of. Over all she did a great job, just not quite the type of job I was hoping to see her do.

I have worked with the Handicapped Population for most of my life and at one conference I attended the Speaker was talking about the Challenges the Handicapped person faces and how they overcome the challenge. The one thing I took from the conference was you may be handicapped through no fault of your own but only you can make yourself a cripple, by not facing the challenges of every day life. Gov Palin has faced every challenge in her life and overcomes it and moves on. She will never be a victim because she does not see herself as a victim. When you are a fighter and survivor you don't have time to sit back and feel sorry for yourself every time you get knocked down. Instead you get back up and face the challenge.

Senator McCain has picked a great running mate who will one day be elected President.

Ted I woulda voted for her as President last night. I have kept saying I was waiting to see who chose the best VP to decide who to vote for, well McCain pulled it out by his boot straps. I finally feel like there is someone running that I can believe what comes out of their mouth. She didn't make wild promises, she was standing on the record she has already achieved, Uh Let's see Barack do that(LMAO). Anyway I was very impressed with Sarah Palin, and I must say "For the first time in this campaign, I can say I am proud to be a Republican", sorry just had to do that. I will quit now before I get myself in trouble. Blessings Marilyn

I saw her speech on CNN just some time back. She seemed to be addressing a wide range of issues without going into details. I think for starters her speech did kick in some verve into the McCain campaign. I thought it was floundering a bit after Obama seemed to have stolen a march. But, I guess the real test starts now, starting with the vice-presidential debates.

Let's see how she holds up there.

Cheers!

Hello, ParaTed2k, Hubby and I liked her speech.. And we liked her.. I usually do like most politicians. I think they all (or almost all) mean well.. So to me it's merely a question of who believes closest to what I believe (as to what the world is and where it should be headed).. According to the speech last night, she's pretty close! And the conservative party is my party because I agree with them more closely than I do with the liberal party. But the world has portrayed conservativism as being a right wing extremist hate group.. That's terrible. I don't know one single conservative like that. Yes they do want to preserve/conserve the institution of marriage and traditional family. (And this makes them 'evil' by today's standards..)

Yeah, pretty damn amazing. Her family has been horribly smeared this last week and yet she came across as strong, confident, assured, and ready to take on the responsibility of being VP.

I hope she continues to set such a sterling example.

I thought she was great. I loved how she handled the "issue" of her having a son with Down syndrome. She called him a "beautiful baby boy" and didn't mention his disability...but told the parents of children with special needs that they would have a friend in Washington. Her family (and even Mrs. McCain) took turns holding that prescious bundle, showing that they are a team and work together, and yet, as soon as she was able when they joined her on the stage, she held him herself. It was like she was saying, "I dare you to say more about this (non)issue."

The team of McCain/Palin is going to kick butt in Washington. And in 4 years, she'll make an excellent President.

What I liked most were all the lies she told, they make President Obama and our Democratic ticket look better and better!

Vote Obama 2008!

Gov. Palin was awesome, I could have listen to her all night long. She is a fighter and also has a tender touch like when she told the story about the POW from Ohio. Then she punched Obama in the solar plexus.
