OK, do I post the obvious:

She was back at the bar, showered, dressed, and halfway into drinks and

the mound and somewhere WAY past the lights...

Seriously, with a couple of missteps, Palin, if she holds, may well have
outspeeched Obama in even his most ardent fans' dreams. *At the very
least, Biden better not be sleeping.

Boys, and I use that term VERY loosely, we gots us a horserace,

...and I can hardly wait to hear the Tel slams...

a bit shrill...but well-delivered. of course, reports are it was written
entirely by others and she was taught how to deliver it in a 6+ hour
session. still, she had to stand up there and make it true...and i think
she did well in talking to her choir. she seems sturdy. i look forward
to seeing her without her puppetmasters...that will be the real test.
but, i agree...it's going to be interesting and close.

and a special piercing??)

I'm not usually one to throw up the sexist card, but.....

Given that Obama's only reason for being nominated is his speech-
making
ability it feels odd to hear Palin denigrated for her speech-making
ability.

Well, fair's fair - she's no Halle Berry...



Full-disclosure, I didn't actually see/hear/read either Obama or
Palin's speeches,
I'm far more interested in their substance than how they can read from
a
teleprompter.

Um...OK. *I'm curious - do you prefer to base your
substance-of-the-candidate decision more on the spew from Rush, et al or
Huffingtonpost, et al...?

I prefer looking at past behavior.....which is difficult because in
this case
one candidate hasn't done anything.

Generally I look at who has been closest to the center before they
started
campaigning for President. This should make me an obvious McCain
voter.
Unfortunately he's been trying to make up to the far-right ever since
2000
and that's making me sick to my stomach. Picking an anti-abortion
person
for VP may push me completely over the edge. Still not sure I can
vote
for Obama since he's a completely unknown/inexperienced quantity and
seems
totally naive (read: way too far left) for my tastes.

Looks like I'm leaning towards throwing my vote away again to a 3rd
party
candidate.
