Think the GOP could just, you know, sub Rudy in for McCain for public appearances between now & November?
Walked through the den & right into the middle of his barn burner. Solid gap power to go with some that cleared the fences while I was watching.

He said when you use the word islamic terrorists you offend terrorists. John McCain didn't change his position on the surge to win an election, but didn't he change his position on other issues to appear more Republican?

I really didn't hear many 9/11 references (I was worried he would use them a lot). Last edited by Galaxy : 09-03-2008 at 09:24 PM. |

I don't trust Rudi's wife just by looking at her.

I thought his speech has been pretty much perfect.

It's not an accident to have say, Cindy McCain next to Bristol Palin to relieve her of baby holding duty. She's been toting that kid around by herself since this whole deal started. Not that it's unexpected in a big family, but..geez.

Guess Rudy talked too long, so they jettisoned Lingle and just let the star have the show.

Well at least "thank you" to Rudy go going too long for them to show the 15 minute educational video of Podunk, Alaska and its former mayor.

Well it's gonna be hard for her to follow Rudy and get the climax of the night but she certainly can coast in now, great lead in by Rudy.

Is it just me or has Palin lost some of her accent since her acceptance?

Especially the special needs kid. Vote for her if you have a special needs kid because she has one too. When is she going to shutup about her family?

So you guys want to know who she is, with the leftist trying to dig up all the information on her, but then get mad that she goes on to explain it?

Say what you want though...she's been preening for a moment like this and man, she's playing right into the hands of her audience. The left-wing nuts are gonna have to play this one with kid gloves and treat her like she's irrelevant or else, the folks that elected W are gonna ignore McCain to elect their female Reagan.

Not really - he spent maybe the first sixth or so on himself and then went onto policy stuff. But what else does she have to fill the time? Lame standup, I guess. SI

Why do they keep knocking Obama's community work? Is this a good strategy to win over undecideds? She's a likeable person but I couldn't imagine her being President. She's doing a pretty good job though.

Vote Sarah! She's one of us!
Maybe this is just a setup for her '12 run with Bobby Jindal. Barack Obama = Jimmy Carter? |

It's a very effective speech for the goal of playing to the right. The moderates might be a bit more put off, tho. She's gotten off some really nice zingers and played the "I'm a down home mom" thing well but sheneeds to lay off it soon or look like someone who just rolled off the PTA.
Personally, I can't stand her, tho- sounds like a complete and total asshole (or bitch, if you prefer the gender term). SI

I wonder if that's a smart choice. I don't know what a "community organizer" does, but they probably have some sway over the community they "organize" and Palin might have offended them a bit with that line. |

I understand that. However, isn't the media in control of the cameras? At least Flasch and you seem open to being non-bias on the speeches tonight, even though you seem to lean to the left. |

This is what needs to be cleared up. If a man sounds tough, he sounds great (like Rudi or Obama). However, if a woman sounds tough, she sounds like a bitch/asshole. Last edited by Galaxy : 09-03-2008 at 09:58 PM. |

I think her speech has been absolutely perfect. They recognize the audience, she's engaged, she self depricating, she's been poignant, been issue-centric, and had zingers and pulled them off. If Obama's speech was perfect for that same stuff, so has this been. She killed it tonight....and she's not done yet.

I'm really interested in the numbers on moderates over the next couple of days. No doubt she's giving a barn burner for the base, but is it playing to moderates? I don't claim to know, but it certainly seems that she's more focused on the right than the middle. Not a bad line on career's to promote change. She's got rhetorical skills.
