I'll give you that one. And based on the quotes I've seen, she delivered quite well on what the audience wanted.

Writing shit on your hand before giving a speech is just pure and simple outlandish regardless of party affiliation.

Sorry, I just don't see it as an issue. And I wouldn't have ripped Obama for it either (not many things I can say that about). Whatever works afaic when it comes to public speaking, and she appears to have hit the points she needed/wanted to hit for the speech to serve its purpose, I really don't give a damn how she got that done.
