With over 60,000 votes cast on MSNBC, Palin is looking hot.
Go here to cast your vote:
Was VP pick Sarah Palin’s speech effective in introducing herself and boosting John McCain’s campaign?
Saltysam on September 4, 2008 at 1:13 AM
But wait, the media/Democrat campaign to force banks to be less restrictive on who they gave loans to worked out so well…didn’t it?
Well, at least Barack Obama’s good friend (and almost VP) made a few tens of millions off of it…
18-1 on September 4, 2008 at 1:13 AM
Go to the 3:55 mark of video and watch as she talks about Oil supplies, she stumbles at Venezuala. I’m guessing that is when it went out and she saw it.
jp on September 4, 2008 at 1:13 AM
They’re ganging up on her for not going deeper into policy, and quoting Harry Reid (who “cannot stand up to John McCain”) as her being “shrill”, and making a comment that she can read a teleprompter.
In short – it’s weak and reactionary.
yo on September 4, 2008 at 1:13 AM
The teleprompter ‘broke’? Obviously someone in the Obama campaign – probably Michelle – ‘tripped’ over the power cord.
Quick, get this to the NYT – surely they’ll rush to get it on page one!. No, really. I saw it happen with my own eyes – that’s enough to get on NYT page one lately, isn’t it?
Midas on September 4, 2008 at 1:14 AM
Larry King looks suicidal… poor guy…
gmoonster on September 4, 2008 at 1:15 AM
Which brings me to making a suggestion for all those who are excited… channel it! Find your local GOP office and donate your time and energy. I’ve been given a reason to do it gleefully again with Palin.
SkinnerVic on September 4, 2008 at 1:15 AM
Ok, here is the KOS and DU nutbags after the speech, just substitute “she” for “he” (but at least the basement is the same).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlAhxoRRxfI
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:15 AM
go to around 3:55:33 ish….she says “Discoveries” with a long pause as she looks at teleprompter.
Epic?
jp on September 4, 2008 at 1:16 AM
they are just dreaming of methaphorically screwing her as well as she just screwed them.
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:16 AM
Obama with a broken teleprompter:
Uh…uh…ummmm…uh..uh
Cicero43 on September 4, 2008 at 1:16 AM
jp on September 4, 2008 at 1:16 AM
I’m looking…my timer is different. I’m watching it off of CSPAN. So it’s just the one speech.
Spirit of 1776 on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
In short – it’s weak and reactionary.
yo on September 4, 2008 at 1:13 AM
Poor guys. I’ll cry for them.
.
.
.
Ok done crying.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
Nah, more like gave the old one an adrenaline shot. Palin, Jindal, Pawlenty et al. are the fresh legs to replace horses hobbled by fatigue and complacency.
spmat on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
It’s such a circular argument. Ok, so Palin has ‘executive’ experience for 2 years in a state with a population that’s smaller than most large cities. Obama has no executive experience. But neither does McCain. So where does this lead us- Palin is the best candidate for President in either party?
foreverright on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
IN the spirit of our campaign finally kicking off, with a chance, i will present several inspirational moments in film:

INC on September 4, 2008 at 1:17 AM
“sources” will be getting FAR more important in the weeks to come….
anyway if the donks tried to screw her up and that’s all they got then they are EVEN MORE SCARED NOW because they know she can flat out give good speech…
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:18 AM
Keith Olbermann said her crack about community organizers was elitist and insulting to community organizers all across the country, and surely this would bring a backlash.
ROFL
fossten on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
Hillary’s not going to get anywhere near the White House again.
Illinidiva on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
Rerun of Palin’s speech in 8 minutes on, of all channels…. MSNBC.
I tell you… I have never experienced so much schadenfreude watching the nitwits Olby, piss-is-running-down-his-leg Matthews and the other crackerjacks, desperately trying to upstage Palin’s speech!!
God that was hilarious!!!
So I’m treating myself to a repeat of this history making speech…. talk to you later…
Mcguyver on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
That’s classic. There is one meagerly positive vote option- yes it was effective- and 1 that attacks her for going after poor little Obambi and 1 that feeds back the Obama
campaign line about speeches written for her and teleprompters.
Damiano on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
yeah, the CSPAN in this thread. Go to 3:55:30ish
jp on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
correct but the peoiple who first advanced the 2 specious notions that:
1) a “community organizer” is a serious job in politics
and
2) running for the office is the same as having experience for the office
is Team Barry.
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:20 AM
2 things
1) I am very much certain that she will miss $harpton and Jack$on voting for her
2) Keef “elitist” doesn’t fit well with your “hick mayor from wasilly” mem does it?
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:21 AM
It’s obvious she appeals to the 29% who are Bush dead enders, sven.
We’ll see if she can appeal to regular Americans.
Obama currently leads McCain by about 8,000,000 votes…the polls are open.
alphie on September 4, 2008 at 1:22 AM
Roland Martin was LIVID on this one. His already protruding and red eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head. He threaten a revolt amongst the community organizer crowd and seems on the verge of threatening riots and violence.
I will see if I can find it on YouTube. It was a sight to behold.
Damiano on September 4, 2008 at 1:22 AM
yet another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czb4jn5y94g
Vincenzo on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Forget the myth of the Obamicans….We’re now a nation of Palin-drones.
ktrush on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Hillary’s not going to get anywhere near the White House again.
Illinidiva on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
I think you’re right! Not evah.
Cody1991 on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
By that argument the Dems should have chosen that other stalwart of theirs – Lyndon LaRouche. He’s run for President for decades…
18-1 on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Rudy just HAMMERING Baracky on his state senate no votes was comedy gold; his eyes got all big and his clawed hands…LOL.
I just wish he had worked in a line about paygrades, that would have been a killer, in fact I’m surprised no one mentioned it.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
when Barry reads from a prompter it is “majestic-a symphony”
Palin-well she didn’t write the speech and she should have wonked out the whole time
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Roger Simon at Politico (imagine that) is making fun of people who thought the media was sexist or over the top. My blood is seriously boiling right now. Please check it out!

davenp35 on September 4, 2008 at 1:23 AM
Those MSNBC choices are funny.
Actually we saw a little bit of what she can do with a broken teleprompter.
INC on September 4, 2008 at 1:24 AM
Shuting off the telepromter,is what it is!
DIRTY POLITICS!!!
Just Like the Protest goons
outside the Convention,Liberals
do what their good at,
Flattening tires!!!
#SSHOLES!!!
canopfor on September 4, 2008 at 1:24 AM
“present” votes, I mean.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:24 AM
that msnbc poll is weighted with 2 out of 3 negative questions.
aikidoka on September 4, 2008 at 1:24 AM
Well P-diddy is likely up in arms….on the merry-go-round…
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:25 AM
Sorry, only human votes count, trolls stay under the bridge.
peski on September 4, 2008 at 1:25 AM
ACORN’s getting those early ballots out to cemeteries again, eh?
jon1979 on September 4, 2008 at 1:25 AM
Sour grapes and now we get a week of the MSM playing their own victim card, “but we ARE fair and just doing what’s right for the country and we work long long hours and..”
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:26 AM
Wow. You’re right. I didn’t even notice the first time. Hats off!
Spirit of 1776 on September 4, 2008 at 1:26 AM
Nah, I think ‘ol Barry has decided to endorse Nader.
This needs to go into a commercial post haste.
Damiano on September 4, 2008 at 1:26 AM
Troll-be-Gone…apply to the ahole
Troll-be-Gone…apply to the ahole
Troll-be-Gone…apply to the ahole
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:27 AM
I’m watching Rudy for the second time on MSNBC. He just beat Obama like a rug.
I watched the original on PBS. Here, somewhere in the middle, Olby “tried” to cut away for a break and the network must have cut him off because he got cut off and they never left the speech. It’s funny all the same–as if Olby were trying to unplug the sound system!
BuckeyeSam on September 4, 2008 at 1:27 AM
Larry King is batting for The One!
gmoonster on September 4, 2008 at 1:27 AM
I think Ole Ralph knows the number of cadavers with precision….maybe we can bribe it into saying…I hear it has a port-a-john fetish

The Force is strong in this one . . .
aero on September 4, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Alphie, primary votes are worthless for comparison, they aren’t even applicable to the Nov. elections. 100,000,000+ people vote in Presidential elections. Obama got slightly less than 18 Million.
Obama obviously appeals to the 10% of die-hard liberals who blindingly will vote Dem every time. My whole family (of which I am the most right-wing, to be sure) find his attitude to be of a smarmy elitist. Obama has neither the temperament or the intelligence to remove that stink from himself. He wears it proudly.
BKennedy on September 4, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Palin replay on MSNBC. Olby whining that Rudy chewed into her video time. I’m sure he was concerned.
BuckeyeSam on September 4, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Heard it on the radio live earlier – it was better than the comedy channel on Sirius.
G’night all – see you tomorrow for a bright and sunny day of ripe schadenfreude!
SkinnerVic on September 4, 2008 at 1:29 AM
Thing is here again at such a late hour? Must be teacher conferences tomorrow.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:30 AM
When I heard the line:
”Some people use the word “change” to promote their careers and some use their careers to promote change”…Absolute MONEY baby…
Immediately 2 words came to mind…
1) SCHADENFREUDE !!!
2) MAVERICK !!!
RocketmanBob on September 4, 2008 at 1:30 AM
One he!! of a good start.
Now McCain has to step up tomorrow and then ride this horse into November.
I hope her relaxed but strong demeanor and confidence shows up in the debates as well,because there is going to be a lot riding on them.
The liberal activists in the press will go even further over the top knowing that Palin is showing the world where the soft spot is on the dragon that has become the Obama campaign.
He is nothing but a show boat American idol candidate playing the puppet for powerful leftist groups to push their
ideology with the power of the oval office.
Never in my life have I seen so much said and written about someone who has done so little.
Thank God that the GOP has someone like Palin who can show
America what a fraud Obama is without vitriol and over the top rhetoric.
Great job Barracuda!

DfDeportation on September 4, 2008 at 1:30 AM
Okay, I was getting frustrated hearing about how “Obama was a leader in getting ethics reform passed in the Senate.”
Uh no. Senate 230 was in the 2007 legislative calendar and he was one of 3 co-sponsors. It was referred to a subcommittee and never passed. Granted, Harry Reid brought a similar bill forward for Senate bill 1 in 2008, but co-sponsor Obama’s bill never even made it out of committee.
Frustrate me to no end. He has done nothing! But taken all of the credit!
simon on September 4, 2008 at 1:30 AM
WRONG.
McCain, then Palin, will be gracious hosts to Hillary as long as she remains a Senator.
Loxodonta on September 4, 2008 at 1:30 AM
Olberman’s concern for GOP internal ettiquete is legendary
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:31 AM
SAY IT ISN’T SO!!! He’s a beacon of No Bias, No Bull! I am crushed! Who will be my hero now? He cannot be replaced! The Crypt Keeper went off the air years ago!
Damiano on September 4, 2008 at 1:31 AM
Watching Larry King right now.
All his panelists are deeply committed worshipers at the church of the Obama Messiah, and are doing their best to trash Palin.
But watching King, seeing his face, hearing his voice . . . he knows that huge damage was done, and that Palin is formidable.
JudetheFossil on September 4, 2008 at 1:31 AM
Great speech, she is the real deal.
LagunaDave on September 4, 2008 at 1:32 AM
Sure. She’s welcome to the Whitehouse any time she’d like to come. They’ll need someone to do the windows and she already knows where the janitor’s supplies are.
Damiano on September 4, 2008 at 1:33 AM

Andrea Mitchell?
DfDeportation on September 4, 2008 at 1:33 AM
I loved the speech and quite frankly, I loved the pics of the whole family inc fiance Levi. This will not be the 1st young couple in history who had an early struggle, but they look like such a wonderful supportive family and comfortable with each other.
AND, the interactions between the MCcains and Palins looked warm and real. Everything is good tonight.
Kudos to the Palin and McCain families
clnurnberg on September 4, 2008 at 1:33 AM
This race is over…period.
x-wing on September 4, 2008 at 1:33 AM
Hillary’s not going to get anywhere near the White House again.
Illinidiva on September 4, 2008 at 1:19 AM
Biden just developed “heart trouble” and unfortunately must withdraw from the race.
“Hello, this is the Clinton residence”?
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:34 AM
She totally channelled Reagan, peace be upon him, tonight. I can’t wait to see her in the White House.
That guy that knocked up her daughter has stumbled backwards into a sweet situation once they’re married. ONly in America.
Mojave Mark on September 4, 2008 at 1:34 AM
Cindy McCain held a little sleeping Trig for half the speech and just cuddled with him.
Even so, she is still probably a heartless beast living off of daddy’s money, ain’t that right Olberman/Colmes/Matthews?
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:36 AM
Love it. Barry started it by mocking small-town mayors and Sarah took his shit, fixed him a shit sandwich with a smile and made him eat it!
PackerBronco on September 4, 2008 at 1:37 AM
Yeah, B.
To us non-bible thumping, palin looks like an angry small town busy body.
Or, as once was famously said about Bush’s dadddy…Palin reminds every man of their first wife.
alphie on September 4, 2008 at 1:38 AM
Correction: Harry Reid introduced his version of an ethics bill on Jan 4, 2007. Obama’s supposed claim to fame was introduced on Jan 9, 2007. His co sponsored bill never made it out of committee though. It was all talk.
simon on September 4, 2008 at 1:39 AM
Oh, Keithy kept using the word “snide,” as though Palin was just a saucy broad mouthing off to the great BarryO.
Except Chris Matthews wasn’t buying. He disagreed. Was quite funny to see KO continuing to peddle his silly little agenda.
fossten on September 4, 2008 at 1:39 AM
It won’t be the last sandwich he gets before November and will probably have to beg a bib from Biden after he’s done eating.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:39 AM
Fantastic speech, but I wonder if it wasn’t in parts just a bit too vitriolic.
amkun on September 4, 2008 at 1:39 AM
Some of us only need 1, loser.
PackerBronco on September 4, 2008 at 1:40 AM
Still with mine Ralph…how’s yours I know it’s early into the whole “psuedo-legal” thing but congrats.
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:40 AM
I would expect a paranoid to react that way. Sad.
Okay, that was really stupid. Palin reminds every man of what they wish their first wife looked like.
Sheesh what an idiot.
fossten on September 4, 2008 at 1:41 AM
Chris has pangs of professional guilt….Keef is a true KOSby
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:41 AM
Thing is mad, so mad his normally hashed posts have taken on a strange, new pattern of quiet insanity.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:42 AM
God!!! Her speech is even better listening to it the second time!! …. MSNBC
Mcguyver on September 4, 2008 at 1:42 AM
Sucks to be you dude. Between Thompsons “taking water out of one side of the bucket” to toninghts speeches by Rudy and Sarahcuda, McCain can sing mary had a little lamb, and it won’t matter.
You suck and are going to get your asses handed to you in November.
Chew on that bee-otch.

Geez fosslen,
Come down to the lower 48 to see what good looking is.
Don’t they have contact lenses up there…or is Palin just milking a look that went out of style in the rest of the country back in the 80s?
alphie on September 4, 2008 at 1:45 AM
Ralph is a good punching dummy…it’s hard to find a good donk talking points bot to use as a target….
you are welcome to it.
sven10077 on September 4, 2008 at 1:47 AM
Ok now really, how do you guys think this shiite up? Every other post I’m giggling like a schoolgirl.
“Sing mary had a little lamb”–HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:47 AM
Sarah Palin is a very attractive woman….a REAL woman!
DfDeportation on September 4, 2008 at 1:47 AM
mee-yow….
Look Ralph I am fairly certain you can go to Reno and hire someone to fufill that special need Palin’s speech seems to have awoken in you.
Don’t ask, don’t tell.

I haven’t seen such a night of torchings since the Highway of Death in ‘91.
Bishop on September 4, 2008 at 1:53 AM
Palin should NEVER go on Meet The Press or any shows like that. She don’t need their approval…The Liberal Media elites are just besides themselves…
DfDeportation on September 4, 2008 at 1:53 AM
Blame Project Runway.
Palin reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry was dating the woman who wore the same dress every single time they went out.
