that last part is classic mcCain.
Works...
If you are a Tolkein Fan, the Dunedan hid in the North, in the wastes, they did their duty quitely, and yet when the Men of the West needed them, one emerged.
Fascianting stuff, really it will take a whole week to wring the greatness out of that speech, her stage craft, nuanced movments, smirk to sly grin, delivery, all were top notch and IMO, Reaganesque.
She could have said “There they go again” and it would have fit right into the speech.
Palin just has so much charm that comes through every word she says.
While some worthy orators are actually trained, and would be conscious of their technique, a "natural" is just that, one to whom it comes naturally. Naturals, like Reagan and Palin just "do it", as it's as much a part of them, as their right arms...

And then we can get down to the REAL things he needs.
VERY well said. Gov. Palin is, quite evidently, a naturally fine speaker.
Works...
I watched Pawlenty, Grahanmesty, Ridge, and McCain tonight. NONE of them were as impressive as Palin. Palin saved this convention.A brilliant boss with confidence will hire people with sharper skills than him/her and then take credit for it.
OTOH, an idiot lacking confidence hires other idiots for fear of his employees showing him/her up.
IOW, McCain recognized the short comings of the campaign, then knew what to do to save it...and save it he did.
No Pawlenty, Romney, Huckabee or Lieberman could have done for McCain what Sarah Palin has done. AND, no Pawlenty, Romney or Huckabee as nominee would have done what McCain did...Period.
Expect something large and perhaps nasty from the O campaign. Obama has actually been sucked into comparing himself with the opposition’s VP nominee. His handlers will be desperate to change the subject soon.
Wasilla has a Wal-Mart, a Target and a Sears store
which is how some towns are measured in Alaska.
Amazing. Despite all the planning, the positioning, the buying of influence, the pedaling of influence, and the rock star blitz of the other side...we are seeing that, IMHO, the good Lord can prepare something off to the side that wholly undoes all of that wrangling.
You know, when this was first announced, and I read a bit about Sarah Palin and her pro-life beliefs and her actions as a mother, I thought that the hand of God surely was involved in this.
I just pray that God's angels keep her safe...
marking for morning reading
Thank you for posting this - it was a great read!
I had to laugh when I heard Harry Reed talk about the speech as sounding shrill. No, Harry, you got her speech mixed up with Shrillzilla Clinton’s. That woman has the voice of fingernails across a chalkboard.
Which brings me to another contrast. Look how Gov. Palin handled her speech, poised, funny, very pleasing voice. Think HRC could ever do a speech like that?(Hint, the answer is hell no!)
They were saying on Fox that this was the first time Cindy had ever delivered a speech. Considering that, I guess you can say she did OK.
Yes, but it was McCain’s foresight and instinct that recognized true talent.
*THIS* is why McCain must be the next POTUS.
Left out of this whole article is the fact that the teleprompter malfuncioned! Gov.Palin did about half of this thing WITHOUT the teleprompter!
