#1 Great Speech, I cried my eyelashes off...

I bet Biden is nervously pulling his hair plugs out...

#2 I was driving home tonight and listened to Sarah Palin's speech on the radio. People were waving and honking there horns all over Anchorage. They are energized and proud of their favorite daughter!

Sarah went on the offensive, and also gave a vision of the US that people could get energized about.

Now she and McCain need to hammer their vision all over the country and leave Obama bin Biden in the dust.

#3 Who is this?

I served on library, hospital boards, and the city council before serving 2 terms in my state Senate. And then was a 1 term governor of a small state...and then was elected President?

JC...Possibly the worst President of the 20th century.

#5 Picture this Obama above it all.
Obamassiah looking down from heaven, admonishing all of his flesh eating piranha like followers to be civil and practice His new gospel politiquette.
Come all my little children, we are all my children.
Enough blood-letting for today against the rebellious [off michrophone, "till my angels warn of more poll slipage"].

#6 Uhhh, why does Spike's screen shot in #4 say "MCCAIN OFFICIALLY WINS DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION"?

#7 Steve S.
Because CNN doesn't research anything.... or check facts.

#8 May be a form of a freudian slip, it's CNN so that is the best explanation. While BHO won nomination through acclamation and the roll-call was just a kabuki theater (kinda way-back machine to my old country, lol, and the Democrat party is now as democratic as German Democratic Republic), the McCains nomination was done democratically through actual voting and votes count.

#9 AP, is everyone in Alaska like her? 'Cause if so, I think I want to import my daughters in law from there.

#10 There was a stretch in her speech where she was pointing out a bunch of positions where O'Bambi had said one thing, then 'changed' his mind or position to something else. Did I miss something, or did she miss an opportunity to point out that alternative meaning of him being the 'candidate of change'?

#11 This morning CNN kept running an lower screen tag saying Obama will bring equal pay for equal work to women.

That has in fact been the LAW for a good while now. And he's a Harvard law grad?

Doesn't matter: it's one more "fake but true" way to influence voters.

#12 If Gustav had been worse, they'd be rolling a scroll saying he'd "Restore the Mandate Of Heaven."

#13 SteveS, maybe because they didn't have to hide in their hotel rooms to cast their vote; done openly.

AS, would that be Zhang Jiao's Mandate of Heaven?

#14 #9 Mike, no. Every female in AK is NOT like Sarah Palin. We have the full spectrum of people up here, but the main thing about AK is that this is big country--small town. There is a lot of opportunity here, and people like Sarah Palin can take advantage of it if they want and make a difference.

#15 "JC...Possibly the worst President of the 20th century."

Everyone here is talking about Sarah Palin.

What is your point in bringing Jimmy Carter?
