Its pretty ridiculous to me that Palin acts like she is in a position to criticize someone else for lack of experience. I really dislike the Republicans' tendency to resort to fear politics. It takes the focus off the issues and just deteriorates into negative politics. She did have some good jabs at Obama about his record in the Senate. The speech made it clear to me why I have never felt any connection whatsoever to the Republican party. I just don't believe in anything they represent except some of their energy policies. They gave up their advantage on economic issues quite a few years ago, so that is no longer an issue. McCain might get the party back on track in that respect. The Republicans always get onto Obama for giving good speeches, but they could definitely learn a thing or two from him. I am more convinced than ever he is what the country needs right now rather than the what the Republicans have to offer after hearing Palin's speech. But at least I won't slip into major depression if McCain gets elected vs. Bush getting another term. McCain at least won't dig the country into a deeper hole we are already in. |
I missed the speech - I'm reading it on and off now.
I'm guessing the speech was really good for you to give it a 7.
wonder if it's on youtube.
