I am going to give this guy the benefit of the doubt because twitter is a hard format to get your point across.
But most of his twitter was mundane.
In reading his comments, it seems there was a commonsense approach in Palin's speech.
It seems from the twitter, that most of the speech was not earth shattering.
But if she did say we needed to be cooperative with China when it came to the economic scuffle on the tires, it would be interesting to see what the full comments were.
On the topic of China, from what I read so far, she was critical of China..
But there is always that nagging problem of how to handle China with their human rights abuse and their lack of Democracy.
On the issue on China, it will be interesting to see the complete sentiment in her speech; given the fact that China is selling gas to Iran.
Update:
The Asian Sentinel has their take.
What they got was 90 minutes of boredom which had half the audience fiddling endlessly with their Blackberries. Ninety percent of her speech could have been – and probably was – written for a domestic US audience receptive to her "mom and pop" populism. Indeed the only newsworthy aspect of the speech was why her remarks had to be kept private despite their predictability.
You will see where I pointed to the softening stance by the CLSA on who requested it be closed in the A.P. story.
And I found the comments on boredom funny when you consider Sinclair's frantic twittering (probably on a Blackberry).
And last, this:
All in all this was standard conservative Republican stuff but it bored than surprised a naturally conservative audience waiting for something that might be quote worthy if not memorable.The only slightly interesting bit was when she got to discussing China. It had indeed had "miraculous" economic growth and she hoped its rise would remain peaceful. However she warned that the US and the rest of Asia had to be prepared in case things China "went in a different direction." She criticized its missile threat to Taiwan, lack of pressure on North Korea on the nuclear issue, its dealings with regimes in Iran, Burma and Zimbabwe. She noted that political freedoms had not followed economic reform and contrasted it with democratic progress in India, Indonesia etc. She criticized suppression of domestic critics and also mentioned those two words Chinese leaders least like to hear: Uighurs and Tibet.
Palin was clear that the strong US defense posture had enabled Asia to prosper and continued military strength and the alliances with Japan, South Korea and Australia had been and remained crucial its peace and success as China was rapidly building up its military even though, she claimed, it faced to major threat.
The CLSA is not a naturally conservative audience. It is made up of people who support the Clinton Global Intitiative.
CLSA is actively engaged in the global dialogue on climate change, carbon trading and the issues that matter to investors, companies and consumers.CLSA Chairman Rob Morrison is a founding member of the Copenhagen Climate Council, which was established to promote the need for a new global treaty on the environment and to present new ideas, solutions and recommendations at the 2009 UN Climate Conference.
CLSA supports the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) through sponsorship of its annual meetings. Launched by former US President Bill Clinton in 2005, the CGI brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, which naturally include the environment. In 2007, CGI members committed 276 projects to support energy & climate change. In December 2008, CLSA executives took part in the CGI's annual meeting in Hong Kong, the first to be held outside the US.
Participation in the annual Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) provides an opportunity for CLSA to present its views on how the public and private sectors can work together to manage the environmental impact of Asia’s rapid economic growth. At the April 2008 conference, chairman Rob Morrison participated in a panel discussion entitled "Green energy: Public-private partnership".
And last but not least, Olbermann gets egg on his face again...
Cameron Sinclair (Co-founder of Architecture for Humanity and the Open Architecture Network) apparently one of the attendants of the forum twittered notes on Palin’s statements: Start from the bottom up. She brought across great points!

Gives it all away when he says Usual Republican stuff ,now we know why he was Bored ,Way to Go Sarah
The speech was twittered “live”, the headline should not be misinterpreted as a leak BEFORE the speech began.
Her speech was IMO a great pro-freedom, pro-capitalism speech. Of course the MSM will spin it as “boring and dull”.
Palin said nothing but “standard Conservative stuff”.
Like how American citizens must preserve their individual liberty and resist a government that wants to turn them all into socialist slaves.
It wasn’t Cameron Sinclair (who twittered her remarks) who said that it was “boring and typical Republican stuff”. That’s from the anti-Palin “Asia Sentinel”.
Like many here I am a vehicle nut, anything with wings, wheels, or a hull has me captive. On that journey about 3 years ago (about the same time some Alaskan Freepers posted about Sarah, only got 10 reponses) I got interested in Gaseous Fuel Systems for vehicles.
A lot is going on.
AU and NZ are going Gaseous, Big time. With a lower price point, the big gains are not for cars IMHO but tractor/trailers as way to keep consumer goods inflation low.
Imagine a Series Hybrid like the Volt on Domestic Gaseous Fuels, tell the Saudi's bye bye.
VW is now teaming with a company to make homebases Co-Gen units. An engine spins a generator for your electricity and the heat can heat or cool your home. Run it at night, to charge the electric car. 60% thermal eff. No Nimby problems of Coal/Nuke and the infrastructure is already their, because it runs on Natural Gas.
I highlighted her most important remarks and sorted them according to topic:
On Conservatism:
Palin suggests GOP has sold out since Reagan and are as bad as the liberals. They lost principles.Palin calls self common sence consertative - quotes Reagan and Thatcher as ‘getting it right’. Local elected officials need to be heard. GOP will be re borne through locals. Palin says tea party movement are democrats and republicans and fighting the good fight.
On Energy:
Palin pro Nuclear and energy independance advocate. Cap and tax (trade) will cause unemployment. Natural gas IS the future. Palin wants ‘all of the above’ energy policy to ween ourselves off natural resouces. Says we need to ‘drill’.
On Healthcare:
Say death panels were a way to show mainstreet what is wrong with government. Death panels - governments not being honest. Can’t increase healthcare and cut costs.
On National Security:
Palin listing all deaths caused by twisted vision of terrorists. ‘this is a war’ - Palin suggesting the surge pushed the war out of Iraq. Palin says Pelosi and liberals stopping Obama from making right decision to increase troops in Afghanistan. Chavez is Castro lite. We need to play hardball with Cuba.
On Asia-US relations:
American military precense in Asia has allowed it to prosper. China needs to ease off Taiwan and to back off supporting Sudan and Zimbabwe. Notes Tibet issue. Palin wrapping up saying local Chinese wanting more freedom in China. Current US gov are anti-open and anti-growth. Says taxing tires was bad. We can help intergrate Asia and India. Palin notes Bush changed view on china - notes we are interconnected and need to put diplomatic pressure on China.
LLS
SHE IS REAGAN IN A SKIRT!!!
LLS
You know she means business when she’s wearing her VP candidate hair do....
A number of people who heard the speech in a packed a hotel ballroom, which was closed to the media, said Mrs. Palin spoke from notes for 90 minutes and that she was articulate, well-prepared and even compelling.
“The speech was wide-ranging, very balanced, and she beat all expectations,” said Doug A. Coulter, head of private equity in the Asia-Pacific region for LGT Capital Partners.
“She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c conservative,” he said, adding that she mentioned both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “She brought up both those names.”

Just cherry picking a few words, like.....”global dialogue on climate change, carbon trading”; “global treaty on the environment”; “innovative solutions”; “manage the environmental impact”.........
I can see how this would not be a “Palin Crowd”. You can bet, behind the scenes their members are supporters of, and lobby for, “Green Jobs” and “Cap and Tax” on a world-wide scale.
A speech by Van Jones would have been given rave reviews.
Great stuff, Sarah!
Figures this guy wrote for huffpo
Cool, a lengthy Q&A with an audience which is mostly not sympathetic to her cause.
Barack Obama still hasn't stepped up and done that.
It was two democraps who walked out during the Q&A.
My Girl bump! Sarah shines as usual.
