I must say that Sarah Palin gave a very impressive speech tonight.  I started watching while Rudi G. was at the podium and I was praying that she would come out and impress us.  I was not disappointed!  She addressed the immediate issues of this country....energy, the war and economy.  I am anxious to hear more from her regarding other issues as well, but she hit the big ones tonight.  I was not aware that she has already laid the groundwork for drilling in Alaska..that is huge!!  She was not the least bit intimidated and I really loved it when she basically told off the media....they deserved it after the trash talking they have done about her family this week.

She did attack precisely on the issues with Obama, and while I do not typically endorse the negative comments about other candidates, many of those things needed to be said because they are TRUE.

I look forward to hearing more from Palin and McCain and I think we are seeing the beginning of the end for Obama!

""""""I am anxious to hear more from her regarding other issues as well, but she hit the big ones tonight.""""""""

Did you know that she and Sen. McCain actually "stole" Sen. Obama's concepts that he laid out first and adopted them as their own?

I didn't think so.

The two of them lack integrity, so it's no wonder they can do that without remorse.

And several media outlets said that Gov. Palin's "tone" was very condescending and sarcastic...a huge turn off to a lot of Americans sick of the GOP and ready to get dub-ya out of office.

So, hold that enthusiasm until after her 2 trials and Ted Steven's trials are over. LOL.

Well.... maybe put Matthew Scully on the ticket then, because he wrote it.   He wrote quite a few speeches for your president, also.

Or better yet, should I get enthusiastic about a potential President that will not acknowledge or say our very own Pledge of Allegiance????

Palin has not been indicted for anything....so stop convicting her.  Typical, guilty until proven innocent.  

Saying that they stole BO's policies is absolutely ludicrous!  That is my opinion and you are entitled to yours but I will not vote for anyone, male, female, black, hispanic, caucasion or otherwise that will not wholeheartedly acknowledge they are AMERICAN!!

She's a great speaker, too bad she took the wrong side on all the issues.

Economy? I missed it--she couldn't have said much about it.

Drilling is huge? Maybe in 20 yrs we'll see the results.

Not intimidated? It was a canned speech.

Told off the media? They're job is to report on what's happening, is it not?

End for Obama.....ha, ha....just the beginning!
