A good night's sleep makes a big difference! Sarah's Ames, Iowa, speech is widely panned, including last night on SNL, more for how it appeared rather than its content. It was not her best public moment, that's for sure. Rush analyzed it correctly but those of us who watched it live or on YouTube were distracted by her appearance and delivery which was not smooth or enthusiastic. The reason, no doubt, was she was up most of the night dealing with authorities and lawyers regarding the arrest of her son for domestic violence at HER houe. And I suspect the reason she was a no-show the next morning at an Iowa rally was to both catch up on sleep and news from Alaska.
The speech later that day in Tulsa was the "OLD" Sarah, lively, on-point, full of zingers like "OPM." She said the same things she did in Ames but the delivery made the difference - she was listened to for content as her enthusiasm was infectious. Unfortunately the Palin haters use her Ames appearance as an example of her irrelevance. However those of us who have supported her since 2008 know different.
