just because a politician is wearing make-up and a dress and is able to bear children is no reason to give them any less scrutiny/cut them some slack on what they say they'll do, or what they say or can actually do.

I'm still an undecided registered voter here.

Just cause Cheney was given carte blanch to do the things he wanted in no way means it'll happen with her.

how does a high school pep rally differ form these conventions.

At pep rallys the cheerleaders at least had some acrobatic moves.

Even Joe Biden came out and said she did a good job on it.

If anyone would know good political speaches, after his length in the Senate, it would be Joe Biden.

Said that there were a 'few areas' she did not address. But hey was only a 30 minute speach. Give the lady some time and hear her out.

Cute digs on the Obama/Biden ticket you have to admit. And she did get into some major issues. Like neither Biden or Obama have served in the military. Like the difference between small town and big city, USA. Like what we, as Americans, are facing the next 4 years.

Can anyone imagine the economic impact of offshore drilling programs around our coast, like the Alaskan oil project and pipeline offers? She partially managed that as govenor of the State.

Her approval rating among Alaskans is 86%. Now if you have been to the state....the locals will tell you that they are indendant as it comes,
obstitant to a fault, honery as it gets. Some of these people live 6 month of winter weather with temps in negatives. 2 of those months it is lights out....no sun....but that kind of reminds one of Washington, yes?

Sarah Palin put the lights on in Alaska, guys. She shook that gov't up.
Swept both Dem and Rep out into the light. Cut the budget, made pancakes in the morning for her kids, and drives herself to the office in sub zero winter weather.

I realize last night where I had seen her husband before. He had won a major snow mobile race up there and did a interview for sport show. These are not your day trips on a snow mobile.....but 400-500 mile races....more like the cross country dog sled races....that they have and is tough stuff.... she race as well but to be honest with you, I don't know if she does cross country.

Joe Biden going to do that in Washington? Joe Biden got that kind of stuff?

I have to admit American politics is different that yours. In England they only get excited after they get into office and can say
HERE HERE in the House of Commons or Lords. About the most passionate thing said in public comes from the box in the Square.

Politicians are so afraid to saything there that will get them into the
tabloids and cause a scandle, that they play it safe. Sometimes, you don't play it safe.

But nice to hear the BBC is covering the conventions. Now if they would send a reporter that understood them.

I thought it was a great speech!

I especially liked where she and her pals are going to Washington to throw out those Liberals that have been running the place for the last eight years! laugh

Bush and Cheney have been called many things but hardly that!

Dude, there's bad news. For the last eight years your gummint has been controlled by.............oh nevermind.

Palin did worse than I expected. I thought she'd try to be inspiring but instead she was like Pat Buchanan in '92, mean and spiteful trying to drag us into another culture war.

She didn't change my mind in a positve way, nope.

Quite Possibly true?-But are Politicians and Political Parties REALLY that much different the World over???-They promise you the earth to get elected-then once elected-Do as they please with that famous International phrase-"We did what was necessary for our Country!"

ps:Getting pretty damn wealthy themselves as well in the process!.

NOT FAIR, I can't vote scold

How about adding the choice of
"Who will vote for McCain now more than ever?"


Change my mind? You gotta be kidding, that lady just made this race incredibly interesting. I like her way of plain speaking almost as much as her quips, she's like a breath of fresh air.

I love how she compared McCain & Obama, she covered enough of the issues to explain what reform really is and what experience is needed. She exposed Obamas talk of "change" into the tax-raising farce it would be! Let alone her quip about sitting down and talking to the terrorists. I think she showed Obama up for what he is--just a gifted speaker (trying very hard to emulate MLK, IMHO).

As for her 'written' speech, apparently the citizens of Alaska are used to her style of speaking just as she did last night. If she 'read' the speech, she did a darn good job of it.
