Republican convention, night three: The crucible

Michael Steele, Mitt, Huck, Rudy, and then the main event: The heavy hitters start around 9 p.m. ET with the Barracuda to follow circa 10:30. Strident Obama partisans are excused from rooting for her; everyone else needs a note from mom. She’s still got an open field to run: 66% say they don’t know enough about her, and of those who do, two to one are in favor.We’ll have the video as soon as it’s available, probably shortly before midnight. If you’re away from the TV, most of the news nets’ websites offer live feeds, as of course does C-SPAN’s. A taste of things to come:
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Romney’s going to go out and tweak Michelle Obama, an exceedingly foolish move after The One made a show of pushing Bristol Palin out of the crosshairs a few days ago. Granted, it’s apples and oranges, but it’s stupid to hand the media a gimme victim meme. Maybe Mitt will wise up and pull it beforehand.
While we wait, I offer you the good, the bad, the ugly, and the bizarre. The good: Whatever the left would have you believe, Palin’s apparently not one to legislate her religious convictions. The bad: The talking point about commanding the Alaska NG really is weak. The ugly: Three of the earmarks she requested as mayor of Wasilla were included in “pork lists” compiled and publicized by … John McCain. And the bizarre: Jake Tapper floats the theory that McCain’s camp is itself trying to circulate smears about Palin, to rally the base behind her. His evidence? The fact that they sent out a press release today about the new Enquirer story before he’d had a chance to see it. Good work, Jake.
I leave you with sweetness and light from a different McCain/Palin ticket. Exit question: Timothy Noah makes a tantalizing point here. Could the pathetic “scandals” the media’s unearthed have lowered expectations so much that anything north of decent tonight will be hailed as an earth-shattering triumph? Just desserts, baby. Taste them. Click the image to watch.
Update: Here’s a better exit question, actually. Try to guess who asked it: “Why shouldn’t a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?”

Lord, when Obama is off the cuff you can’t even listen to him. Makes W sound like debate coach. Love W but I’m just saying.

Susan Estrich was Dukakis’ campaign manager for Pete’s sake.
Anyone who thinks that bag lady is spewing anything but Dem talking points is a moron.
Dukakis! Cripes. She and he are the biggest losers in years. She adds NOTHING.

She didn’t lie, she just wouldn’t recognize any conversation about the economy unless it is “tax the rich”. They are one trick ponies.
Cindy Munford on September 4, 2008 at 12:53 AM
Another crazy Dem lady on Larry King just said she hasn’t heard ANYONE make the charge that Palin is a bad mother for pursuing the VP office and neglecting her kids in the process.
Second crazy Dem agrees that NO ONE has leveled that charge against Palin.
Third crazy Dem lady agrees she hasn’t heard the charge from anyone but Dr. Laura.
FREAKIN’ LIARS!
Okay, I’m coming off my Sarah high. I’m turning this crap off.
aero on September 4, 2008 at 12:53 AM
Okay, as soon as I turned off CNN, I started to get my buzz back. I’m going to go to bed happy tonight. Tomorrow, the war resumes. For now, though, I am very, very pleased with Sarah Palin. She done good!
aero on September 4, 2008 at 12:56 AM
Why tie me to a sow’s belly and roll me in the mud! Our little Sarah has made quite an impact on Ol’ Washington.
carbon_footprint on September 4, 2008 at 12:56 AM
I turned it off after the speech and just enjoyed it.
I caught a few words from Brit Hume and thought, eff these commentators, they ALL suck. I know what I saw.
Bunch of overpaid lying buffoons….I’m tired of the MSM. Even Fox is starting to suck.
ex-Democrat on September 4, 2008 at 12:56 AM
Andrea Mitchell is such a hag. She looks like she would rather be having a root cannal rather than to lower herself to talk to Republicans.
DailyTrackingPoll on September 4, 2008 at 12:57 AM
Can these stupid despicable liberal bloggers do math? If Bristol Palin is 5 months pregnant and if trig is 5 months old, isn’t it IMPOSSIBLE that Bristol be the mother of both…

“(Note, by the way, how both Rudy and Huckabee employed a tone that was more bemused than angry. That’s the modern GOP’s favorite trick–comedic ridicule in place of outright nastiness.) –Michael Crowley”
Er, ever heard of Comedy Central, Bill Maher, John Stewart et al? Welcome to our Conservative world!
Same article at The New Republic said said Liberal friends were “panicked”
hawkdriver on September 4, 2008 at 12:57 AM
Unquestionably.
Olby just said some BS relating to Track’s deployment. He made one sound as if it’s the equivalent of releasing state secrets. And she cited a 9/11 date, and he quibbled about whether it was a ceremony or a deployment. It’s nonsense.
Matthews is whining about ideology. Ugh.
Olby is whining about sarcasm. He’s citing “elitism” against “community organizers.” I think their are more small towners who have been dissed by Obama’s Bittergate comments than angered commnity organizers. Yeah, he should pursue that avenue. Even Nora O’Donnell complained earlier that she hear’s that all the time on the trail: “What in the hell is a community organizer?” And Obama doesn’t want anyone revisiting his lack of accomplishment there. Dead end, Keith.
BuckeyeSam on September 4, 2008 at 12:58 AM
That’s why they are in politics and not engineers or anything that requires advanced mathematics…
eanax on September 4, 2008 at 12:58 AM
the teleprompter problem was it didnt pause for the applause, not a big issue for someone who is well-prepared and has a natural talent for public speaking.

You got that right! Couldn’t any of these so-called news people find even one Republican to say something positive? What a bunch of morons.
mushroom on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM
I don’t doubt you. Olby made it sound as if Palin was selling state secrets. It was the dopiest thing I’ve heard tonight. He’s like a seven-year old.
MSNBC is re-running Rudy.
BuckeyeSam on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM

Like Oberman’s picture isn’t in the dictionary next to the word sarcasm or is it horse’s ass? Can’t remember.
Cindy Munford on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM
I’m waiting for Olby to have his very own “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” moment in the not too distant future….only he’ll be the one asking the question.
coldwarrior on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM
Even when the applause lasted for minutes at a time, several times?
If that thing didn’t pause for applause, it was way way way ahead of her from early on .. which means she went to the page early on and didn’t show it .. which means that her nerves are steel.
cgoode777 on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM
I was just wondering, but is McCain still running for President, or did he just drop out and let Palin takeover? I haven’t heard much about him this week, so I thought I would ask and see if he was still in this thing.
DFCtomm on September 4, 2008 at 1:03 AM
Now I am off to bed. But man, Sarah was deadly and Piper was just too cute!
McCain/Palin 08/12
hawkdriver on September 4, 2008 at 1:04 AM
Olby has a sense of humor about everybody but himself. He should get used to the way he feels right at this moment.
Jim Treacher on September 4, 2008 at 1:04 AM
This was truly a great moment in US political history.
I feel comfortable, like when I was young and sleeping in the back of our family car while my Dad drove. Not a care in the world.
My 44th birthday was two days ago. I graduated from high school in 1982 when Sarah registered as a Republican. My heroes were Reagan and Pope John Paul II.
I have an ex-wife in Michigan with our 5-year old son.
I have a job interview Friday for a position that will pay probably in the area of $120,000. I know I’ll get it.
But, I’m really thinking of turning it down to volunteer for McCain’s campaign if they can use me in Michigan. Maybe I can get to see my son more often while there.
I know I can find another job with the work I do and I have plenty of savings for awhile.
I want a country like what Sarah talked about tonight for my boy.
An interesting point. My son’s first meat that he was able to eat was…get this…salmon. And that is how he got his name: Littlebear.
Good night and rest well, the election is not over yet, but our side just put up 6 runs in the first inning.

Good luck on the interview.
Cindy Munford on September 4, 2008 at 1:07 AM
That much seems very clear to me at this point. Between her performance on previous television interviews, the Alaska gubernatorial debate, her rollout as VP on Friday, and other appearances, it’s apparent she does indeed have nerves of steel and nearly supernatural poise. She doesn’t even “um” or “uh” when she speaks extemporaneously. They’ll see, and they’ll need to invest in adult diapers.

“If that thing didn’t pause for applause, it was way way way ahead of her from early on .. which means she went to the page early on and didn’t show it .. which means that her nerves are steel.”
Too true. Reading from big bullets in those podium binders isn’t easy. If she really had to switch back and forth, I’m impressed.

A small good night gift for y’all…

cgoode777 on September 4, 2008 at 1:12 AM
Rudy’s performance tonite was one reason why I wasn’t freaked out that he might win the nomination.
If only he had been married once and never put on a dress…..
Speedwagon82 on September 4, 2008 at 1:14 AM
By the way, did Larry King have a panel of Republican black men on his show immediately after Obama’s speech to “react”? (i.e. crap all over it)
aero on September 4, 2008 at 1:14 AM
A thought ..
Obama’s a good teleprompter speaker .. but as he showed at Saddleback, a hot mess off-the-cuff.
I’m really really hoping that our girl doesn’t have that problem. Debate (even in our stupid, silly, bastardized “prepared speech, no interaction” format), is a different animal.
From what I’ve seen in interviews though, she’ll do fine. Seems to be able to think on her feet and not answer questions using “uh, um” between every third word.
cgoode777 on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
Or have that bizarre hatred of ferrets…
LOL!
Rudy’s speech was outstanding tonight. He was the king of snark, and I loved it. He was my first choice early on, pre-Fred. I would not have minded Rudy in the top spot at all. Of course, then we would never have gotten Sarah, because no one but Mac would have picked Sarah. All is as it should be.
aero on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
With over 63,000 votes cast at MSNBC.com so far, Palin is looking formidable.
Cast your vote here:
Was VP pick Sarah Palin’s speech effective in introducing herself and boosting John McCain’s campaign?
Saltysam on September 4, 2008 at 1:18 AM
The only people that should be afraid is her kids and her weak husband.
Pray for them, they have been thrown under the bus by momma.
The Republicans underestimate the fact the country is no longer “51%” pro-family (at least what used to be the Conservative, Evangelical idea of pro-family), and since with McCain and Palin, they showed they aren’t either…why bother with either of them. Now they are both nothing but Bush three for real. Nothng new to offer anyone, just Jerry Springer for the reast of the owrld, and rhetoric from a mom who cares nothing for her kids, for the conservative base…
Lovely.
TOPV on September 4, 2008 at 1:18 AM
thought I was gonna have to get loaded to vote for JMac last week. Now I realize I am training my future C-I-C.
I now believe McCain views BHO as the enemy and feels it as his duty to stop his election.
Tomorrow I donate to his cause.

Just donated some scratch to the cause at McCain’s (Palin’s) web site.
I encourage y’all to do the same. That speech was worth at least the $25 minimum donation.
Dig deep!
And no .. I’m not a plant from the campaign.

If not, then you, sir, are a total ass. Nice try, though. Didn’t think the Koskids were allowed to be up this late. Yours is the biggest collection of spittle I’ve seen in such a small space in many many years.
coldwarrior on September 4, 2008 at 1:22 AM
Third option on that poll:
They’re clearly hoping so hard that she sucks as bad as Obama without the prompter and writers, but the evidence of past unscripted appearances all over YouTube say she’s going to knock their socks off there, too. As I said, invest in adult diapers, members of the MSM. You’re gonna need ‘em.
aero on September 4, 2008 at 1:22 AM
I’m not 100% certain, but it looks like TOPV forgot to put a quote box around all that. The “Lovely” at the end comes across as a sarcastic response to the insane stuff above it to me. I’m guessing it’s a quote of lib crazies found elsewhere.
aero on September 4, 2008 at 1:25 AM
I want to add a hallelujah for C-SPAN! I watched all of the speeches tonight from their channel. It’s great to get the feed live, uninterrupted, and without commentary or “analysis”.
I can’t watch CNN or (P)MSNBC even for laughs at the insipid commentary. I boycott the major networks and PBS is a no-go. And, anymore, I can barely take Fox. I’ve had it with Hannity & Colmes and Greta.
So, C-SPAN it is. Will watch tomorrow’s coverage that way as well…
eanax on September 4, 2008 at 1:26 AM
You are so going to get flamed. If she were a man with five kids would you feel the same way, because I personally thing the Presidency is a horrible environment for a family. The scrutiny, and lack of privacy makes it tough to raise a family. I don’t, however, think you’re going to see a single person getting a nomination any time soon.

What nerve! How could anyone ask such a personal, private, invasive and utterly irrelevant question as: “What did you do for a living before you started campaigning for public office?”
You see? This is the kind of “politics of personal destruction” that always offends the delicate sensibilities of liberal journalists.
Seriously though, if that question REALLY bothers liberals so incredibly much why doesn’t somebody just – I don’t know – maybe ANSWER IT?????

Because Obama did his “community organizing” with domestic terrorist William Ayers and through ACORN–using Saul Alinsky tactics. This may be the big bad secret that Obama and the MSM want to keep secret.

of the dozen or so AWESOME punchlines in that speech, I still think the topper might have been “the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery”

All hail the Arctic Fox!
Buckaroo on September 4, 2008 at 4:57 AM
All right. I’ve had 5 hours to sleep on it. She was awesome. I can’t wait to hear her speak on her own, thinking on her feet. Think she will “umm, ahh, umm” through the event?
If she can maintain that sugar coated razors edge wit through these next 2 weeks as the missiles are lobbed in, she may be the real(Reaganesque transformative)deal.

Amazing figure, 86%…amazing.

What was that thing they (RNC) did at the end of the night? Where each state said a little speech then cast a vote…they didn’t do that at the DNC.
That’s not what they call casting a vote is it? You mean that the RNC was allowed to cast votes, but what about the DNC weren’t they allowed???
right2bright on September 4, 2008 at 10:39 AM
I thought I could not be more excited about Sarah Palin while I was listening to her speech, but when the camera on MSNBC zoomed in on little Piper holding Brig–she suddenly heavily licked her hand and used it to smooth down Brig’s unruley hair– I absolutely fell in love with that family.

Trig not Brig sorry
Renae on September 4, 2008 at 10:50 AM
By the way did anyone see Pat Buchanan ask Chris Matthews, before the speech, something to the effect if he would admit it if her speech sent a thrill up his leg? His annoyance was priceless.
Renae on September 4, 2008 at 10:52 AM
I have to admit, the addition of Palin sent me over the top to vote for McCain.
However, anyone worried about the National Enquirer affair allegations?
Darksean on September 4, 2008 at 11:02 AM
Yes they did up until the point that NY cast their votes and Hillary as their highest elected official threw all the votes to Obama and then called to invoke the rule of nomination by acclamation which meant all the remaining individual votes by States were not necessary. The all just yelled out yea or nay. That’s the act that really infuriated many of the Hillary supporters.
Texas Gal on September 4, 2008 at 11:04 AM
