        I watched on NBC. Brian Williams in the wrap-up noted that the Republicans hit the media hard and then tried very hard to contain his urge to find fault with Palin and threw out some nice rhetoric, then fell to the internal pressure and related that Washington told Alaska that Alaska would have to pick up the tab for the bridge to nowhere; not her idea. He then quickly "apologized" by saying that the Democrats have spun things their way on occasion too. Guess the Repubs were right in identifying the left-wing media for what they are, have been and will continue to be!

          It just drives me nuts that so many Republicans couldn't stand McCain a few months ago...now he's the answer to all of our problems because he picked a "real" person who "is one of us" that has all of this executive experience. If she is JUST the VP, why would that change people's stance on McCain?

            I think a lot of people have been fooled by "balanced tickets" for a long time. I've never really seen a VP have much influence or power until Cheney (and others) turned Bush into an empire-builder, something he ran against in 2000. My only hope is that if she proves to be a true conservative, this experience could boost her for a POTUS run in the future. But for me, it only makes the race more interesting. I'm still voting for Barr or Baldwin.

              37 Mil watched the speech, just shy of the 38 mil that watched the Obama speech.

                  I think the shots at Rove and O'Reilly are fair, but the criticism of Morris makes no sense.

                  It seems to me that Morris is not being inconsistent. He is complaining about the sexism, not Palin.

                    Ding Ding, that's reason 2 for why I won't vote for McCain, in my opinion he wasn't the best Republican choice and now he's grasping for straws by going radical with his VP choice. Guaranteed if McCain were up against the standard white male Democrat, he would not have chosen Palin, the reason being, she is not the best choice (by far). He's going after votes he wouldn't normally get (Clinton votes).

                      What I really loved was the stud who simply had to fertilize Palin's daughter to get on one of the biggest stages of his short lifetime. He was grinning like a Cheshire cat the entire time.

                      Who wants to put odds down that he will NEVER seal the deal with marriage like the McCain camp has assured..

                      To see him up there with Palin and everybody smiling was sooo insincere. I bet Palin took him within an inch of his life when she found out that he knocked her daughter up. I bet she had the State Troopers camped out at his house.. lol

                      Barracuda, Pit-bull with lipstick.. etc. etc.

                        It's all B.S. designed to align the sheep behind very powerful special interest groups.

                        To see Bush on the screen effusing praise toward McCain and calling him the "right man for the job" after McCain was a constant thorn in his side for 8 years made me literally nauseous.

                          An interesting look at the public perception of MSM bias from the RasmussanReport, and keep in mind this was prior to Gov. Palin's speech: ( I inserted the spacing to make it more reader friendly)

                          Last night’s polling shows that, by a ten-to-one margin, voters believe reporters are trying to hurt Palin’s campaign rather than help. Republicans and unaffiliated voters strongly believe that a double standard is being applied to Palin because she is a woman. Democrats disagree.

                          Perhaps most stunning is that, among unaffiliated voters, just 42% believe Obama has better experience than Palin to be President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say Palin has the edge on experience. Again, most of the interviews for this survey were completed before Palin’s well-received speech last night.

                              That was a poorly worded question. Hurt rather than help? Whatever happened to just report?

                              I don't have the numbers, but haven't most of our recent presidents been former governors? Senators just pretty much march in lock-step with their party. Not a lot of decisions to make, really.

                                How is it BS? The facts are that either Obama or McCain, and no one else, will be President. 99% of the voters will be choosing one or the other. The 3rd party candidates will make little to zero political difference this year. No "messages" will be sent b/c they won't get enough votes to send any messages (not like Perot)

                                Picking someone like Palin makes some people think better of McCain then they did before for reasons already discussed on this thread.

                                Some, but not many, Republicans still don't like McCain, but he is markedly better than the alternative in their opinion.

                                And this notion that so many Republicans didn't like him is clearly a little overstated. After all, he did win a very, very contested primary contest.

                                McCain leads Obama 83% to 11% among self-described Republicans.
