Did anyone Watch Palin speak?

Question

How can anyone not be impressed by her after tonight

Answer 1

i thought her speech started and ended great. the middle part, which to me seemed like the scripted stuff she was given - it was the policy statements...that i don't think she *sold* it as her own. if that makes sense....i think she seemed to be trying really hard to remember what she was saying or to not flub it. but thats totally understandable. the VP nominee never comes across as 100% at the conventions...its all new to them, they haven't been campaigning for 18 months already. all in all, i think she did wonderful. if i was working for them, i would have told them to really push the waving and pointing and smiling at the end....her family looked a little like deer caught in headlights there at the end and what was with McCain shaking his shoulders like: what do i do now? that wasn't the best way to end the evening. but it went well and they are still my pick.

eta: omg, i just found out why he does that thing with his shoulders, i feel bad for commenting here that it looked funny...i honestly thought it had more to do with being uncomfortable up on stage and did'nt know it was a war injury.

wow, i feel stupid! i did'nt know he couldn't raise his arms over his shoulders, i thought he did that cuz of being older...it all makes sense now.

Answer 2

I was very impressed!!

Answer 3

Yeah I was REALLY impressed that she was talking about pitbulls wearing lipstick when people are dying in a war and lives are being destroyed due to the bad economy

Answer 4

She was more than i thought she would be.Not as gifted as Obama, but comes off very real and personable, the more i listen the more i trust and like her. I don't know if Obama is a great speaker or truly a great person, but feel like i know what i get in palin. I am not sure about this whole half-brother issue with obama whereas with palin- relate wheres shes coming from. more importantly she has common sense and good judgement and insight into the issues.

Answer 5

Shes makes me ashamed to have actually considered voting for her

Exactly how is attacking Barack Obama going to help the economy?

Answer 6

she was and will be great

Answer 7

Millions did.

Look forward to seeing the numbers tomorrow.

Not the pushover the liberals and liberal media thought she was going to be.

That sent out a rumor from Obamabot Central saying McCain was going to dump her because she could handle the pressure.

She handled the pressure in spades!

She is as tough as any man.

Candy Crowley of CNN said Biden has met his match.

Answer 8

It was very dry, she's a dry speaker.

Answer 9

I was impressed and unimpressed.  She is very accomplished this is true.  She's probably pinching herself right now wondering how she made it this far (good question).  Administrative-yes, organizer-yes, attractive-yes, exciting and new-yes, grasping-yes, knows how to throw the republican jab-yes, needs to pay more attention to her children-yes.  Do I like her?  She seems like a nice person.  Do I want her as commander in chief when McCain falls over?  NO!

Answer 10

I think most of the free world watched her tonight! It was a moment of political history.  

Answer 11

Even the Dems interviewed were impressed .  She's awesome.

Answer 12

Yes,after tonight Dems are done.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 15

I'm not impressed.  Just more pandering to rubes.

Answer 16

Because I wasn't just watching....I was listening.

Answer 17

ACTUALLY I DO, I GUESS A TOOL LIKE YOU WOULD VOTE FOR PALIN!!!!LOL she knows how to read...lol impressed with what? come on seriously people need to use their brains she has only been governor for like a year and half. I sure as h**l dont want her representing me...yah she is pretty and that is about it. Like they say she is just a hockey Mom and governor of a small town, seriously American people we need to be smart about this. She would be awful for us just it would be the worst mistake for us to have Mccain and her for vp. I am suprised we havent kicked them out already. Its so pathetic...and if she wants to talk about families she is a horrible mother obviously...

Answer 18

Palin did an outstanding job this evening. She did exactly what a VP candidate is supposed to do.

Her humor was poignant and hit the mark as did her revelations about Obama's serious lack of accomplishments.

McCain was right. She is perfect.

Answer 19

Good question!  Maybe misguided liberals and brainwashed college students who dont question their professors.

Answer 20

A thrifty hooker will say she loves you if you pay her well
