Republican Convention: Sarah Palin makes speech of a lifetime
Daily Telegraph (London) ^ | Sep 03, 2008 | Julian Kossoff

Governor Sarah Palin has launched a slashing counterattack on her critics, telling the Republican convention that she had accepted an invitation to be Senator John McCain's running mate to serve the American people, not to win "the good opinion" of her detractors.

Second that emotion.

And I really felt that I saw another president rising. McCain should be heartily congratulated often for finding such a wonderful person to be his second. He judged her right and will win for it.

"Oh, I hope it wasn’t the speech of a lifetime. I think she has many more great ones in her."

Thank the media for setting her up so she could knock it out of the park. How many more millions tuned in to 'see for themselves' what all the fuss is only to find out that she is what they have been looking for?
Sure she has more speeches, but you gotta admit that was very timely!

Good. Exactly the kind of crap I want to hear them say. Too hell with them. Let them burn in hell.

I’m not sure, but I think — I HOPE — we just watched the opening salvo in a revolution.

“The liberals are complaining that she’s “full of her self, mean, and smug””

I believe it’s called “projection”.

What amuses me the most is that the liberals spent the weekend throwing dirt at her, something they would never do to their hero, Obama. Then when she fights back, they whine and cry.

Heard Steve Roberts on ABC radio after the speech, “we’re going to keep raising these questions.” You keep raising the “questions”, Steve, and we’ll keep hitting back.

Well, the Libs need to take notes (not), because there is a reason she has an 86% approval rating. She fought back with dignity, class, and humor. Someone I’d want watching my back.

It's early, but she definitely seems to have the Reagan thing; the ability to connect directly to the people. The left’s worst nightmare. No matter how the media paint her, she'll just blow by them. Thank you G_d.

Great comments on the Hillary Clinton forum. I think Obama is kicking himself for choosing Biden vs. Hillary.

Check out the comments on the hillary clinton link, post 18, lily.

McCain’s choice to choose Sarah Palin was inspired. At long last McCain has my vote and the votes possibly millions of conservatives like me that had many fundamental problems with McCain’s centrist legislative style, I hope Governor Palin can pound some sense into him. I was afraid I was going to have to write in Newt Gingrich as I did in the Idaho Primary.

A powerful and articulate woman with guts and conviction, now wonder Democrats hate her so much; she is their worst nightmare. It is going to be entertaining to watch the incompetent liberal media try to articulate how their empty suit candidate, Obama, is more experienced and ready to lead than Sarah Palin.
