I watched the speech on CNN and switched to C-Span when it was over (Fox News did not show it but had pre-taped regular Saturday afternoon viewing -- maybe wanted to avoid potential legal problems with the FCC if she had announced during the broadcast).
She was very friendly with the crowd, asking names, where they came from all while signing programs, books, caps, t-shirts whatever. And did you notice the diversity wanting autographs? Some Blacks, Hispanics and Asians in the crowd with small children.
I agree with your observation, what I found a bit surprizing was the number of Obama-youth age young ladies there looking for photos and autographs who were absolutely ON FIRE about Palin. Like she was Justin Beeber or something.
That seems a good sign.
Fascinating television. I watched the entire 45 minutes again, and was every bit as mesmerized as the first time through.
If she runs, she wins. No question in my mind whatsoever.
Palin is the most naturally talented Republican since Reagan.
Fox News is a very profitable, extremely low budget operation that has virtually no field team. They keep using the same “talent” over and over. How many times in a week do you see Karl Rove, Dick Morris, Bill Kristol, Juan Williams and Charles Krathammer in a week?
It is definitely RINO-neocon, but there are conservatives that swear by it just as there are those who believe the WWE isn't fake.
