Christ, Romney and Guiliani were terrible. These guys are social liberals through and through yet the GOP wants to win evangelicals...how?

I tuned in too late, missed Christ. :(

I thought he wore his religion on his sleeve a bit too much. And that halo? How about a little humility, Jesus.

Try living without being partisan, it could be refreshing.

I'm no Democrat nor Republican. I just happen to choose the better candidate/combination and clearly, the Palin/McCain team isn't right for this country right now. The speech was nothing special at all. She was OK but she did not light up the arena, not like Bill or Obama did in Denver.

I think that she delivered a well written speech, however I dont think that she can do this outside of the republican vaccum.

The content of her speech was more of the same.

Yeah, I guess we'll see how she did with the Independents when the polls roll out.

Seriously, folks, do you want those people appointing Supreme Court judges?:roll:

You mean recommending for appointment, pending the approval of a democratically controlled House and Senate.

I don't think it is fair to compare anyone to bill clinton. He is one of the all time greats Bill had the best speech last week. Sarah Palin gave one hell of a speech tonight she passed her first test.

Lol at MSNBC they are like disapointed she kicked ass.

I twas pretty funny have just about all of them talk about how good she was, then turn around and start nitpicking so their leftist supporters wouldn't be mad.


And Andrea, i thought you are a reporter; since when does a reporter make personal judgments when doing an interview. Why do you thin people mock so much of the media when you put it out in the open like that.

I miss Tim Russert for this very reason. The first thing he use to do after speeches at these conventions was fact check and point out the outright lies. Such an interesting campaign, so sad he couldn't be around to watch it.

Now that is a very uninformed statement.

Just wait for KOs show tomorrow, I'm sure he'll go full bore with letting morales or the truth get in the way.

Yep, him and brokaw helped to keep the NBC/MSNBC on air coverage from tilting too far over as they seem to regularly do recently.
