She was smart enough to bring backup just in case of a technical problem. I bet Obama doesn't do that.
It's the first thing you learn as a real manager, especially in the military.
Your true and constant enemy is Murphy (Murphy's Law: If anything CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong). You learn to always have a backup, and (if it's important) have a backup to the backup. You always have a plan B, and strive to have a Plan C, D, ...
i saw the same thing.....smart woman....great choice....the people of this country should stop with the partissan crap and vote for the true stronger and trustworthy candidates. but alas all the empty promise that the democrates make to the down and out for thier votes.
Yes, I definitely saw her bring a written copy of her speech to the podium. HOWEVER, that does not in any way detract from her delivery! She hit it out of the park!
I think you are correct..... Preparation, preparation, preparation
Then, this morning on FOX I heard that because Rudy's speech drew so much applause (IT WAS A GREAT ONE ALSO), that they had run behind in the schedule and had to run whole paragraphs through the teleprompter for him. And that is what caused him to skip over some segments. I guess that was the same situation for Sarah. But she was PREPARED. Just as a good leader should be!
Quite a contrast to Obama...who can't even answer a few questions from reporters when he is eating his waffles, or who won’t give his opinion because the answer might be “above his pay grade.” Sarah stood before thousands, and never skipped a beat with her address.
I think what is most effective about the way she puts down the opposition, is that she reminds us (me at least) of that favorite school teacher one might have had. You know, the one who catches you cheating and calls you on it, but does it with a smile. She doesn't let you get away with it, she lets you know you have been found out, but she chastises you in a gentle, knowing way and exposes you for being a fraud.
That, Obama and Obama’s supporters can see. I am sure they don’t understand it just yet. But handling frauds and sneaks in a strong way and outing their nonsensical actions and statements with a smile takes discipline, a solid knowledge of right and wrong, and a confidence that only a woman sure of herself and her abilities can display. Sarah is nobody’s patsy, no mealy-mouthed lady. She is an Iron Lady with a gentle touch.
” I had the impression that she had paper in front of her as back up. At certain points in the speech, the camera clearly showed a teleprompter — but at other points, I thought I saw her glancing down at a written speech from time to time.

Noticed the same thing (back up), but also recognize that she didn’t appear to be reading from a script like many do when they have a written copy.
This is somebody who gets more comfortable as the speech unwinds, and knows how to deliver a message.
My 85 year old dad asked me how she did, as he didn’t get to watch the speech ,and I told him that she’s the real deal
His response: It’s about time we had a real straight talker who actually wants to do something......
That was a good idea. I would definitely do that if I gave a speech because I’d panic if all I had was a teleprompter and it went out.
