“How many times has Palin read off a Teeleprompter in her life?

I’m guessing zero.

So she winged it. “

If she was a newscaster wouldn’t she have had a lot of practice using a teleprompter. Sorry if I am ignorant and that is not the case.

Many other Freepers with personal knowledge of such matters have stated that she OBVIOUSLY knows how to use a teleprompter and is not frightened of it.

And yes, she's a fairly capable speaker and goes off script frequently.

I never had a teleprompter to help me at training conferences but I could drone on for at least an hour about budget processes ~ WITHOUT the Ground Hog Day Effect.

In fact, I usually came with props, funny, even strange stories, off the cuff discussion about time spent in convents, and could almost always leave them laughing AND remembering ~ even years later ~ what I'd said.

Teleprompter stuff is not always the best stuff, still I've seen her speak in person and it appeared to me that she can speak extemporaneously as well as from prepared text. This is something Obama has not demonstrated!

Sports reporter... not newscaster.

As a sports reporter that winging it is something required.
