Can anyone help out the cubicle bound with a transcript or video? The sad thing is she was in my home county but I had to be at work at 5:30 this morning.

A local TV channel had live stream, not sure where you can find the video right now. FNC carried it live but then dumped it for the preening on-screen boobs.

The lady is a champ ....

I suspect that the video of the rally will be found here later today:

Governor Palin was met with loud cheering and applause. She was very upbeat and forceful in speaking about the economy. She said she and McCain believed that the regulatory laws needed to be reformed, and that she was glad to hear that the Fed refused to bail out another financial institution at the expense of the American taxpayers. She spoke about the connections between Alaska and Colorado, and of course introduced her husband Todd. She spoke about support for the vets, and made several new statements on issues facing this nation.

Fox News then interrupted her to bring some of Biden's comments to a UAW group. Compared to Palin's speech, you'd think Biden was at a funeral. Biden was sad and depressing, talking about all the businesses in Delaware that have left, Chrysler for one. He went on to complain about the Bush administration's promises when they took office in 2000: that he'd reach across the aisle, that he'd bring respect back to the White House, yada, yada, yada. He talked about loss of jobs, a military being stretched thin, blah, blah, blah. I wonder sometimes why some here on FR complain about Palin and McCain making the same comments over and over, when Biden and Obama spew the same crap too. The difference between McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden, is that McCain/Palin's comments are upbeat and positive, telling what they will do in Washington to change things. Obama/Biden repeat depressing and negative comments about what's wrong with Washington, but not providing any plans for change. There's nothing positive in their speeches. But I digress. Biden talked about how John McCain is out of touch, and went on to criticize him on various issues. Then he turns around and says how John has been a good friend of his for years, and that as President, if he asked me for help, I'd willingly give it. Huh?

Has she moved on from the reader’s digest version of her acceptance speech much yet? It is a good monologue but my wife and I both have heard it three times and could do it ourselves - we know she has the moxie for more creative ways to take more territory. And the speech writers. I suppose they all do this.

I’m sure they also want to make sure as many audiences resonate to the same messages but I can’t wait for more to go with her what we all loved on that great Wednesday evening that will live in history as the rebranding of the Republican party.
