Does one speech mean "A Star is born"??

Question

I was very impressed with the speech Sarah Palin gave last night! She delivered an excellent performance last night.

BUT, I think we need to see how well she does from here on out. We need to see how she does answering the tough questions, and how she does in the debate with Biden before she is called anything.

I knew nothing about her before last week, as was the case with most of America. It was a good beginning, but we still need to see more, before calling her anything.

Agree, or tell me where I am wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes. In fact Obamas speech at the 2004 DNC made him a "star". Everyone watching that day believed we would see Obama as a national figure after that speech!

Answer 2

Yes, we will learn more from her in the future but I was impressed enough with her that I won't be surprised if she keeps exceeding expectations.  Though I'm sure the democrats were dissappointed that the republicans aren't trying to buy votes like Obama is.

Answer 3

I found her speech was very well delivered but had very little substance and was full of empty rhetoric.

Answer 4

Apparently, half of us are picking our president based on speeches.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Performance isn't what I'm looking for. It's the contence of the speech.

Like truths  and lies.  

Answer 8

perfect questiion, I want to hear more from her not just attacking ads

Answer 9

We still know very little about her.

Except she is running her campaign on being a hockey mom.

I'm sure that is really impressive to foreign leaders.

This country needs to get a grip... she is an extreme right-winger who is for banning books and pork-barrel projects.

McCain and Palin will be a step back into the stone ages.

Answer 10

She is far from being a star,Her speech actually said very little about her campaign.

Answer 11

when she goes up against Biden...IT'S OVER! lol

Answer 12

That's how Obama was born.  Anyone else remember the "keynote" speaker from 2004?

Answer 13

no

I was looking for something of substance in Plain speech last night but all we got was the same old talking point and rhetoric we see here on YA every day .Palin was lien about her record she use a lot of sarcasm and smearing of Obama for the duration of her speech that might get the conservatives excited but it didn't sway any independent or Hillary Clinton voter's .
