He's such a people person

Kind of like how Palin gave a great speech in front a teleprompter, right?  Or are you still going with that discredited lie that she "winged it" at the convention?

Well, since the speech she gave didn't jive with the published one (which is what was on her teleprompter) it seems likely.

Where is your source that "discredits" it?

With all the craziness going on in this election, why are spending so much time hammering on us for our apparent hypocrisies rather than touting the good qualities (few as they are) of McCain?  

Interesting deflection effort.  Let's stop looking at Obama's & the left's hypocrisies, let's instead focus on how bad McCain is

But to touch on your query....there aren't that many.  Simply more good qualities than bad, and exponentially more good qualities than Obama's, as it relates to running this country as President and CnC.  But I'll concede, Obama can give a dynamite speech in front of a teleprompter.  He wins that contest, hand's down.  Better than all the other 3 candidates combined, IMHO

What??  Where'd you pull this from?  Who said she gave a great speech minus a teleprompter?  And whether she did or didn't, What does that have to do with ANYTHING about Obama's hypocrisies and the left's rationalizations of them??

This is now going beyond deflection from the rabid amount of political contributions that come in from Hollywood, to the fella that supposedly represents us common folk.  And before the next deflection, no one has claimed McCain is running on some common-man type of platform.  Obama sure the hell is however.

And 1 last thing, I could care less how much money Obama or any other politician brings in, as far as campaign contributions.  I'm on record as advocating giving any amount you want AS LONG AS ITS MADE CLEAR WHERE THE $$$$ ARE COMING FROM --> FULL DISCLOSURE.  What I get a kick out of is the left trying so hard to make Obama as some "normal guy", playing basketball with the little people, being "connected" to the little people, who opts out of his pledged public financing, and taking in $28,000+ a plate dinners....all the while, leftists like you tripping over yourselves in justifying it all, when you'd be condemning to high heaven any Republican that did the same

Sarah Palin electrified the Republican convention Wednesday, all the while reading off a faulty teleprompter and an outdated draft, John McCain officials told FOX News on Thursday.

The Alaska governor overcame several glitches and technical problems to deliver her speech without getting flustered, impressing McCain and his staff and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Foremost of the obstacles, Palin’s teleprompter was not working properly. When she took the podium, the machine rolled so quickly, it often skipped the first line or two of every paragraph on screen. The operator said he had new equipment and wasn’t sure how it would work.

However, Palin also went on stage with a slightly outdated hard copy of her speech. For various unexplained reasons, she and her closest advisers had an old draft on hand, and even had a hard time furnishing one of those for her to use. Several of the drafts were scribbled on, so one aide gave Palin a wrinkled, folded copy out of his pocket.

Officials said Palin responded in mom-like fashion, concluding, “Well, I suppose I could put a book on it and smooth it out a little. “

During one part of her speech, she couldn’t see the teleprompter because signs were blocking it. That was when she ad-libbed a line about the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull — “lipstick.”

The line was a hit with the audience. It is something she had jokingly said to staff during the speech prep process.

Doesn't look like it "discredits" it at all.

*snicker*.....and still waiting to hear what this has to do with the tea in China

[Brassmask]

No FAUX NEWS would never discredit their own "news".

As for what it has to do with anything.  All we know of Sarah Palin, firsthand, is that she gave a snarky and overly-sarcastic speech at the convention then lied that she did it "off the cup" and electrified desperate and disgusting republicans who will stop at nothing to keep the White House and sanity being restored to this nation.

So, where's the source that discredits it?

The "pitbull with lipstick' line was obviously one she had heard dozens of times before.

One would expect a governor to be moderately good at public speaking, anyway. This is being touted as some sort of Miraculous Event, attributable only to the Great God Awmighty.

By WHOM?? 

Or is this falsely right up there with she's being touted as a perfect mother?, that McCain is being touted as presidentially qualified because he was a POW?

The teleprompter did not break

Sarah Palin delivered a powerful speech last night, but she did not "wing it."

Which is what Erick Erickson, citing sources close to McCain, has written on his blog, RedState.

Erickson writes that "the teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Gov. Palin was in the speech."

This claim has been picked up on Drudge and could quickly enter into the insta-mythmaking about a speech that need not be embroidered.

Perhaps there were moments where it scrolled slightly past her exact point in the speech. But I was sitting in the press section next to the stage, within easy eyeshot of the teleprompter. I frequently looked up at the machine, and there was no serious malfunction. A top convention planner confirms this morning that there were no major problems.

Erickson writes that the same malfunction happened during Rudy Giuliani's speech earlier in the night. Again, I watched the teleprompter during this speech, and it worked without problem. Giuliani, as is his wont, simply decided to go off-script and add some new lines, such as one attacking Obama for his "bitter" comments.

These extemporaneous comments, many of which drew huge applause, made the former New York mayor's speech run much longer than planned. So much so that a convention planner confirms that they had to scrap a planned video ahead of Palin's speech.

I've heard several people on the TeeVee saying it's all horseshit as well.

They lie when they don't have to.
