I thought McCains speech was pretty good. Comparing it to Palin's though, is apples and oranges. Her speech was meant to introduce herself, not lay out a platform - a totallly different purpose (she can deliver a speech far better than McCain no matter what the content).
The old boy's speech struck me as humble, sincere, and his true love for our country came across loud and clear. it also gave me the feeling that he has real backbone and integrity. I disagree with some of his track record on policy, but I love that guy. he will do as far as I'm concerned.
Its interesting how much hunger there is out there for more of anything "Palin". Progressives are transfixed and scrambling on how they will go about putting Palin in a box. they can hardly talk about anything else. but Palin keeps overflowing the box. Oprah is getting pressure to have Palin on even though that is the LAST thing she wants to do. Some polls are showing Palin'a approval rating higher than McCains and Obamas. This is starting to look like a cultural phenominum to me, something that might really grab women, even liberal women. In spite of Gloria Stenhiem trashing Palin, and proving that the so-called feminist movement is actually a progressive liberal organization and not so much a movement to empower women - Sarah Palin is empowering to women.
