CNN interviews Cyntia Rucci. She is on the floor at the RNC convention.At 7:45
They asked her why she's support McCain/Palin when Cyntia is for women's right & gay's right. Cyntia said abortion will not go away because McCain is the president. And the Democrat has use that point to hold women hostage for too long.
Then they cut to Donn B. and I have to mute my TV. Don't want to hear garbage.
I have never seen anything like that speech. I just saw the future of the United States Executive Branch.
It makes me sad because it should have been Hillary. I don't even know now if Hillary could beat this woman in a straight-up election in 2012 unless a McCain-Palin presidency is a total disaster.
But anyone who still thinks Sarah Palin is a joke is merely fooling themselves. A star is born is an understatement. This woman is smart, sure, and dangerous...like a young right-wing Hillary. She is my nightmare come true: a female Reagan.
If she nails the debate like she nailed this speech, I think she will seal it for McCain.

I must say the Obama campaign has Palin covered everywhere. I turned on Nightline to get away from 'the speech' only to hear the comment that 'she' addressed an audience that was almost twice as large as the town she was mayor of. Sheesh.
Then Brian Ross handled the hit job. Phone interview with the Safety Officer of Troopergate. It's laughable when you think about some of the serious things that Obama has done, yet not one of these so called reporters has ever said a negative word about him.
I have zero respect for anyone in the news media! There is not one single honest journalist anywhere, I'm sure.

It's obvious from once she took the stage, the entire GOP there rallied around her and embraced her and her candidacy. I was very proud to see their reaction.
Her introduction of her family was remarkable. She stood strong and said a lot without mentioning anything that's been going on. I loved the comment about ups and downs like any other family and how it presents challenges. She really related to the American people in that thought process. And I have to say that both her son and husband are HOT! Even Bristol's fiancee' is hot. I think I'm going to move to Alaska!
The part I liked best about her was that in spite of pundits saying not to attack, she went on the offensive and she did so with conviction. You could tell she actually believed what she said. And she didn't do it with venom, she did it with a strong attitude while being engaging. A couple of times she leaned on the podium and I felt like she was inviting me into her thoughts.
About what she said, I think that she was on this forum. Comments like the set of Obama's ascent into the nomination reminded me so much of what we've said here. For so long, we have felt like we've been silenced and tonight, our voices were heard through what she said. She raised questions that needed to be raised for America to ponder and think about. She confronted critics and defended what she has done and compared it to the lack of a resume' that has yet to be acknowledged. And all the while, she did so with grace and that of a lady.
Pundits will shread her for what she did tonight in her speech. And what she did was show that she is a strong woman that will not take prisoners. She will not back down. And she will fight with everything she has. Something I like about her is that while she is NOT Hillary Clinton, she possesses a lot of the characteristics that Hillary Clinton does. Issues are the areas that are different.
One other thing I really enjoyed was the fact that she laid out a little bit of a platform tonight when introducing Trig. I think that was a very wise move on her part. She's already letting the people know that while she intends to be a great Vice President, she's also focused on doing something more to give back.
Again, she nailed this speech. It was the perfect speech she could have given and I'm sure Americans will really have some strong reactions to it. I think she'll pull some moderates over and I can see a bump coming from this for McCain. I look forward to her debate with Biden. She's going to do just fine!!!!
Just my thoughts...
I wish I had gotten to your posts before I made my separate, individual ones.
I could have saved myself a lot of typing by saying, "yeah, exactly" and then just quoting your post.
I really, really enjoyed reading that!
Palin's not getting to Hillary voters? :lmao:
Rush was talking about this earlier.. what is Hilary to do? She is really in a no win situation now. If she undercuts Obama and helps McCain to win, she faces a spectacularly formidable opponent in Sarah Palin in 2012.
Poor Hilary..

Clinton know McCain is a 1 termer...I think she'll just sit back and watch...She prolly believes she can take on Palin in 2012

That is something that occurred to me earlier. Sarah Palin could provide more motivation for Hillary to help Obama get elected, and then work from the senate to undermine him, so she can run in 2012. If McCain wins, and decides 1 term is enough, then Clinton v. Palin? I think that is a no brainer.

I think the issue of Palin taking over for McCain in 2012 is pretty much rolling.Clinton know McCain is a 1 termer...I think she'll just sit back and watch...She prolly believes she can take on Palin in 2012
