I agree, Kramer.

She definitely shored up the GOP base and went on the attack.

For now, congrats on her job well done for your team.

Do you feel like she is one of us?

My 2 cents.......compared to the most notable Democrat female, speaking & towing her party's line last week, Palin's speech was exceedingly impressive.  Instead of shrillness, there was calm.  Instead of shouting, there was focus.  Instead of bitterness, there was confidence  Yes, she focused more on character than specific policy issues.  Then again, I'm much more supportive of a Federal Government that has less to do with manipulating & regulating as many of its citizens as it can, via whatever cool new policy initiatives we can get "the rich" to pay for, and instead will be more focused on being efficient, cost effective, & fiscally responsible with all of our tax dollars.  Call me naive, but I'd like to think the GOP si going to practice what they preach

Guiliani & Palin hit back to back dingers this evening, especially in how they completely dismantled their opponents' anemic levels of leadership & executive experience.  Though I was also very impressed with Michael Steele.  I'm looking forward to seeing great things from him, in the future.

Giuliani's speech was so bad I walked out on it.  So did XO, as appears from another thread.  Just ultra-partisan nonsense.  From a guy I've come to lose all respect for.

Palin's was about what I'd expected.  It was obvious she was delivering somebody else's speech, the attack mode was predictable, the effort to justify the Wasilla mayor's job as some kind of qualification for office was just pathetic.  She didn't botch the speech, but "not botching" is not exactly my definition of a home run.  The only "home run" I've seen in this campaign so far was Obama's speech on race relations after the Jeremiah Wright affair broke.

Based on their record the last few years, I'm not getting my hopes up.

==========================================
"I'm a uniter, not a divider."
"We oppose nation-building."
"We want a smaller government and a balanced budget."
"Colin Powell will provide Juniorbush with foreign affairs expertise."
"We don't want the smoking gun to become a mushroom cloud."
"Iraqis will welcome us as liberators."
"Dick Cheney's secret meetings with oilmen will help us attain oil independence and price stability."

More hopes and dreams have been fulfilled by purchasing Cracker-Jax than have been fulfilled by voting for Republicans.

Call me a cup half full, H.  I'd like to be optimistic in something regarding the Fed

Voting Republican and expecting anything good to happen is like masturbating and expecting an heir to the throne.

So would I. I was optimistic in 2000. Bush took care of that. McCain is too close to Bush and his policies for me to be very optimistic about him, and Palin, despite all the GOP hoopla, hasn't impressed me, so there goes the chance of any maybe-I'll-vote-for-McCain-and-hope-he-checks-out-early optimism. On the other hand, Obama and Biden don't impress me much either. What sucks is that we're once again reduced to having to choose from the lesser of two evils, rather than the better of two excellent candidates.
