This is a horrible rookie speech. I thought she was supposed to be a good at this stuff.

what happened to all her experience as a sportscaster? she's not convincing at all.. kind of like a 7th grader giving her first oral book report.

1. She doesn't have to be good in front of a small crowd in Alaska.

2. I agree. This speech is very amateurish. And the pitch of her voice is grating.

5. It's the delivery--moreso than the speech that is sophmoric. n/t

7. Now that she is spewing hate and getting the rethugs riled up she has improved
she actually is believing herself. It's an interesting thing to see.

for me she started off very well then it started to get snide and nasty and that did not come off well. Too many women will know just this type of mean spirited person in the workplace. That will be the big mistake in the end.

8. She's going to get good marks from the media for reading it well.
Never mind that it's full of lies and short on substance. She's going to get good marks for "coming out swinging." And for reading it like a media pro.

than speaking in front of caribou.

10. Wait til you hear her debate.
She's been known to use color coded index cards or not show up for the debate at all.

17. I was surprised she got away with it for Governor.

One of her opponents said it was the strangest thing he'd ever seen, flipping through the cards after a question was asked. edited to correct spelling

11. Her past experience in local news is showing
Her delivery is dull in the same way local news is.

12. It's the most conversational speech I've heard on this level
That's going to be a hit. I don't know why we try to pretend otherwise. This doesn't change the situational dynamic but McCain made a very astute pick for VP.

21. Ok, thats like the 3rd or 4th thread that you've chimed in on how great she was.
We get it, you like her speaking skillz. Any comments on her positions or experience?

22. Monotonous - one sentence * two sentence * three sentence * clap (repeat)
I thought the speech was both written and delivered in a very mechanical manner, but Big Media loved it. I am sorry, but I just don't see it. Rudy and Huck gave better speeches.
