I saw her speech and I was definitely impressed. In a certain light, she reminds me of Tina Fey. It’s a shame that I disagree with her politically on a lot of issues, and there’s all that dirty laundry coming out of the woodwork, because listening to her I just wanted to vote for her, just her.
Most people talk of how incredible it is that she made the leap to Vice Presidential nominee, but I think the bigger leap is the one from mayor to governor. As governor, she’s already high profile, but she was mayor of a tiny suburb, smaller than my town (and I live in smalltown
More to come.

two things impressed me about Sarah Palin.
1)She was able to break with party tradition and pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly (unfortunately, they spoiled this for me by announcing that her teleprompter displayed the "big words" phonetically.)
2) She is comfortable enough in her seat of power to completely and utterly offend and discount every community organizer that has ever lived or will ever live, as well as each one's family members. Apparently it's worth more to her campaign to spin cheap shots (that don't make any sense when you analyze them.)
I thought the assertion that "Obama has never put forth anything EVER" seemed a little fishy. Thankfully, somebody went and fact-checked the entirety of Palin's speech. The side-by-side comparison of rhetoric to factual record is rather interesting: http://www.samefacts.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-t.cgi/5632
Yeah. It's a shame that most of what she's said - and what's been said about her by fellow Republicans - is false. Why are you so impressed with blatant deception and partisan vitriol?
Also, "dirty laundry coming out of the woodwork"?
Talk about mixing your metaphors, Steph.
Thanks for the fact-checking links, guys. I tend to forget about doing my proper research in those areas, always blindly following the media.
And Jer, you always keep me on my toes. I didn't even notice I did that!
