Earlier I was critical of Romney and Huckabee...they stunk! Rudy, as always, gave a good speech....but Palin knocked it out of the park, very very good! We'll see how she holds up when answering reporters and against Biden in the debate but tonight...a new Republican star was born. Sure, the speech was written for her, but her delivery was spot on...she sure appears sincere and wow...a fighter for sure! Even brought up Harry Truman...

devil's advocate time. obama has his written for him as well, and his delivery (from what i hear, i've never listened to him) is superb. people say he's a good speaker, but when he hasn't got his lines prepared to read, he's quite the stammerer, with many 'uhs' thrown in-so i disagree that's he a good speaker, more like a good reader. i don't know if she'll turn out to be the same way.
i watched as much of this convention as the dems, zero. they don't appeal to me at all.

as for huck, i'm not surprised he stank. can't stand that guy.

Huck gave by far and away the best speech of the night.

He didn't get any loud long roars because he didn't do much trashing. It was a great populist speech without a lot of cheap shots. He tossed the bible beaters some red meat - but he didn't go overboard.

Devil's Advocate, yeah sure.

Obama wrote his convention speech, by the way.

Though I agree that he does say 'uh' a lot when not giving a speech.

perhaps you missed my point. i don't care how eloquent someone is, it means nothing, indicates nothing regarding leadership. i don't care if palin, or obama, brings tears to the deaf, their speech is so moving. it means nothing, it's window dressing.

LOL...that was a wise ploy putting her on right after Guliani. She was actually entertaining after that.

I can't wait till she "lays more pipeline". It seems that there has been enough of that in her family lately.

Well at least it isn't with the same sex...which has plagued the republicans of late.

i liked romney better.

he's an easier target. loved his right of ghengis khan act tonight. so easy to see the ambition boiling over.

she's a freakin' assassin with a smile.

she still has to introduce herself as more than someone that doesn't like dem's but that was an effective speech.
