To be honest with you guys, I pretty much thought that she would go out there and nail it tonight. She really didn't have any other choice! Well, she may have hit a home run with the "Base", but she hasn't done herself any favors by far from what I'm reading. Have a look below for some of the comments:
UPDATE: Go Here, and REC that diary up. MONEYBOMB for Obama.
From CNN:
What was McCain thinking? I'm now convinced Obama is the best man for the job! Palin can preach until she is blue in the face about the evils of abortion but who is it that's raising all those kids she's popped out? If you want to look like a great Mom, at least hold your infant child for a few minutes in the public eye. Maybe then we'll be convinced
Without strong policies, campaigns have to go to mockery. I am so disappointed with this politics of diversion and derision.
Yeah! Palin showed me nothing! As a swing voter I was turned off by Rudy and Sarah's attacks on Obama about things other that the issues at hand.
I have made up my mind....Obama for me.
Way too angry for me. Just what we need - another 4 years of hate and fighting.
Hearing Sarah it sounds like 3rd grade girl fighting with her classmates calling names. Silly talk and it is sad to see so many sit clap and cheer to silly talks. Cheap is the word I see. Oh boy, you criticize her it is "anti-women." Ashamed if she becomes this great country's VP.
From ABC News:
I didn't care for the snide remarks either. McCain has been doing that lately and it has turned me off to him as well. I loved McCain 8 years ago. Now, not so much. Probably one of the most important qualities I'm looking for when it comes to my vote is the ability to be diplomatic. Good grief. We've turned off the rest of the world for the past 8 years and need to bring some friends back in our corner. We can't do it with snide remarks. McCain says "Country First." Putting your Country First means behaving in a way where America doesn't have to stand alone and fend for herself. If we continue on the path of USA against the world we are in for a very bumpy ride. People cheer when we suffer. People don't just hate us because of our democracy. C'mon. Some people are just ready for us to be knocked off our high horse.
The RNC has been more like watching grade school kids pep each other for the fight after school.
The represent exactly what the republican party represent, fear tactics and snide remarks. She is as much of an Idiot as John McCain. How is breaking the law and firing people, executive experience. Isn't the Bush administration already under investigation for wrongful firing. She reminds me of Dick Cheney
Not impressed I thought she came across as Bitchy ...... very Bitchy................. going for the jugular pure nastiness with no real plan but drill drill oil. which I do agree with but only as a short term solution............ And you know what bothered me the most seeing that poor beautiful baby passed around like a sack of potatoes. He needed to be in bed and in his mothers arms.... what a self centered personPS she didnt give Alaska a surplus.................. its had one for years because of the windfall taxes oil pays Alaska
Well at least she proved she could READ the teleprompter, but for her actually knowing the material and feeling the material was surely lost in translation...It's OVER!!!
I agree. It's Over. It's time to put this so-called ticket to bed. I will be doing my part this weekend, I hope you all go out and do the same.
I also recommend a small donation to the Obama campaign in commemoration of tonight's performance. Thank you Sarah Palin! You're the gift that keeps on giving!
