Amen. And, thanks. Sarah, with her son soon to deploy to Iraq, has with that alone earned my respect as a parent with a child in harms way. Her intelligence, charm, and poise along with her ability to state a case for this ticket and against their opponent, has earned my vote.
Was VP pick Sarah Palin's speech effective in introducing herself and boosting John McCain's campaign?
Yes. Her speech proves she is ready for an all-out fight.
No. She spent too much time trying to mock Obama.
It remains to be seen what she can do on the campaign trail without a teleprompter and speech writer.
As of now it is 50%/30%/18%. Gotta love choice #2 & #3. Especially #3 since Obama has become the new "King of 'Uhhhs'", taking over from Ted Kennedy. Howie Carr used to always have short snippets of a Kennedy speech/presser and it was up to the audience to guess first how many "uhhhhs" there were. The mantle has been passed.
