Once she got into it, Sarah Palin's speech was fantastic. She was funny without being catty, and strong without being screechy -- the anti-Hillary. There were several great lines in her speech, particularly the bit about how being a mayor is kinda like being a "community organizer" but with actual responsibilities, and she delivered her lines with confidence and power. I was grinning the whole time.
Hillary must be losing sleep over the possibility of running against Sarah Palin in 2012....
Additionally, Rudy Giuliani set her up brilliantly. His speech was spot-on, and it was evident that he was having a lot of fun with the crowd. Nice job, Rudy. Putting "America's Mayor" on right before Palin was a stroke of genius.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Rudy's speech was carefully retooled after they decided to switch him to "Sarah Night". They were an elegant tag team. He set 'em up, and she knocked 'em down.
I can not wait to see the Palin-Biden debates.
Rudy & Palin ripped Obama and his Karl Marx style of politics apart. One of the best lines I heard was from Gov. Huckabee. "The government that can do everything for us can also take everything from us". He attributed it to Lincoln, though ol' Abe never said it. But Jefferson did say, "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have".
