Can you imagine what would have happened in Obama’s speech if he had had a teleprompter malfunction?
Just heard the teleprompter began to malfunction during Guiliani and wasn’t working when Palin began per Fox news.
Joe Biden’s been put on the bench. The top of their ticket’s going to have to respond to this. He’s a humorless Chicago machine politician. She’s .... Elliot Ness. This is too perfect a send up. Biden can’t help OBama on the experience issue. And the part about making him flesh out what he did as a community organizer? He doesn’t want to do that. No way. That’s going to make him look like a career politician, one who created an “official” position of authority when in reality he had no authority whatsoever.
QuannelX is a community organizer. Okay.
She is "authentic" and Americans are hungry for a non-career, authentic, normal, real person who will represent them. Palin will get HUGE cross-party votes, HUGE.
OMG! Where’d you get that graphic? I MUST have it!!

I am our County Chair for McCain and have to admit I was going through the motions because in my State he was going to win, but with Gov Palin on the ticket I want every last vote I can get for the ticket. I am totally energized now!
I made it myself. It’s hosted at imageshack. Feel free to grab it.
McCain in 08 could mean that it’s Palin in 2012. Had to feel a little sorry for Romney.
Then I will explain it for you. I am a conservative. McCain is a liberal. An open borders liberal, as a matter of fact. If the ticket were flipped I might put up with him as VP.
I am a conservative not a Republican. I will vote for Republicans IF they are conservative. If Bush's opponent had not been Hanoi John Kerry, I would not have voted in the last election.
Islam's war against the west will inevitably bring the US a nuclear strike. Putin is moving to regain as much of the Soviet empire as he can, which greatly adds to the likelihood of various Islamic factions obtaining the capacity to move jihad to this level. The persistent open borders are a hot potato that will utterly destroy the party in power when it happens. I prefer that the borders be closed - but barring that, let it be the liberals who are destroyed if we're not going to move to prevent it.
This is as obvious and foreseeable as the earlier attacks on September eleventh. Aside from the loss we all will have of family and friends WHEN not if this happens, I recognize that the party who emerges in power will be able to radically reshape government the United States. Many on the left foresee this as well, and are actively working to keep our defenses weak.
I therefore am willing to sacrifice important pieces to win the game. Winning the white house or congress are less important than closing the borders. A candidate who could win an office, at the cost of placing someone in office that the left could justifiably claim failed to aggressively defend America costs conservatism control of the board.
By the same token I will not move to save a socially liberal republican candidate merely to defeat the democrat. Sometimes control of the board is more important than saving every pawn.
If I get a liberal in office who votes liberal while claiming (unchallenged) to represent the party with a conservative platform, then my voice is even more unheard than if a liberal democrat is in office. It means that conservatives will vote for anyone who claims conservatism, even if they are to the left of Hillary Clinton. It also means that the Republican party did this eyes wide open, believing that I (and other conservatives) would vote for a yellow dog if it was a republican. Sorry RNC that only works with democrats.

Nice pic how about one with a pretty PITBULL
broken teleprompter?
Are you sure it wasn't from a coma induced by listening to Carly Fiorina? Anyone catch her last night? I needed to find some Ben Stein sound bites to wake me up.
Here we go again; every article will mention the speech was written for her. She delivered that speech far better than Obama did his acceptance speech. I watched a little of it and all he did was look to the right and left teleprompters. I got the impression he was trying hard not to stammer like he does when he is not reading text. That guy is a train wreck without a teleprompter, but the impartial press is more concerned with Palin reading a speech.
