Wow, I have to say, I had some serious doubts about Palin. In reality, I still do. But she gave one heck of a speech last night at the RNC. She was confident, funny and poised. The speech had some great applause lines and was well-written. I found the jabs at Obama to be particularly effective. The line about the responsibilities of a mayor as opposed to a "community organizer" were particularly well-done.
It also seems to me that she has stumbled the Democrats. I didn't notice much of a response from the Democratic Party. Palin also did a nice job of attacking the media, which in my opinion, hasn't really been unfair to her. The claim is that the media has attacked her and her family as well unfairly. I don't really buy that. In my view, if you mention that your son will be deployed to Iraq on 9/11 in your speeches, you are making your family an issue.
In other news, a big shout out to an old high school friend, Sara Benincasa. Sara is a delightful young lady, and she is becoming quite the web sensation with her imitations of Palin. Her youtube videos have generated a lot of buzz, so much so that she has landed on the webpage of Newsweek. Congrats Sara! I wish you all the best.
