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.
