Speches: Rudy Palin "The war has begun"

Kicking it back to Keith after the Rudy interview, a crestfallen Mitchell [of MSNBC] said, "The war has begun." Indeed.

I thought Rudy and Palin were quite funny. Even when they were mocking Obama, they were smiling and having fun. Which may make the Dem's even angrier, if they don't like being mocked.

It looks good. Palin concentrated on showing what she is really like, instead of what the media tried to make her.

She also used her and McCain's life stories to contrast with what Obama has (and has not) done. It was a clear line between actions and rhetoric.

Here's Glen Reyold's initial thoughts.

The Worst Olberman could say about Palin's speech: "People who like this sort of thing will find this... the sort of thing they like."



I was struck by this part after the the speech.

McCain: "Don't you think we made the right choice for the next vice president of the united states? And what a beautiful family?"
While Bristol and who I' think was her fiance were there.
Oh, he's a cunning old bear.

Obama camp, Mainstream Media. Ball's in your court. Do you double down and keep trying to destroy her or do you move on and try something else?

I'll post a recorded version of her speech when I find it.

Update: The Obama camp, and its supporters in the MSM have come up with a talking point against Palin's speech (in addition to it being "alarmingly" strong). Someone else wrote it.

Lorie Byrd has more
Obama's response -- the speech was written by George Bush's speech writer. Wow. How lame is that? Almost as lame as the reaction from a Kos diarist -- liar, student council speech delivery, etc. Republicans acknowledged the quality of both Hillary and Obama's speeches. We disagree with what they said, but we are smart enough to know they made good speeches.


That's right. The MSM harp on Palin for using a speechwriter. Do they actually think Obama doesn't use one? Or do they simply hold Palin to that much higher of a standard.
