Foxfyre, Huckabee gave the best speech, Romney second. Palin didn't bomb, there were good stretches, and some not so good, just my opinion. The best thing that happened was for everyone to see her family. She is a fighter, no doubt about that. I also think her strongest area may be energy, as she has dealt with that up close. I think she has common sense, which is sorely needed in Washington. Also, she isn't afraid to push for cutting spending.
I think the criticism of Obama would have been more effective if it had been shortened to fewer lines. I have to agree with the libs, the wrinkled nose, snippily delivered lines, I'm not sure if those are winners. Maybe other women are the best judges of the speech?
Let the show go on. Good luck McCain. What will be will be.
Well, speaking as a woman who has felt fury and extreme resentment at the leftwing media's unprecedented unfair and hateful attacks on her and the bottom feeders like Daily Kos and Huffington Post who feed it, I thought she showed amazing restraint, class, and poise. Do you think if they had treated Barack Obama or Joe Biden or Michelle Obama even anywhere nearly in as contempitble manner that there wouldn't have been enormous outcries at the Democrat convention and protests by everybody who could find a camera to protest into? When they have delved into the most intimate aspects of her life--some even demanded she submit to a DNA test to PROVE that she is Trigg's mother--how scumbag is that???????--while declaring anything of Obama's family or background or family to be off limits for even close scrutiny, much less criticism,. . . .
Considering all that, Sarah was more than entitled to get in a few digs in her own defense. And yes, it is high time we started demanding that double standards not be applied in scrutiny of any political candidates, even if they happen to be woman.
The bottom feeders who have been attacking her in the most hateful and malicious ways are where the contempt should be directed and not that Sarah used gentle humor and some pointed remarks to defend herself. And too much criticism of Obama? Joe Biden was drafted as the bulldog, attack dog--this is the role of the Veep inthe campaign so the candidate can 'stay above it all'. Is Sarah supposed to be anything less?
And even you my dear friend, Okie, I think would not be so critical of her presentation if she was a man.
