Politics or Entertainment?
Like many others, I watched Sarah Palin's introduction and speech given at the RNC. And, like many others I was surprised and impressed with the fresh face, style and apparent commitment of the surprise VP candidate's positions. But now, as the dust settles and the novelty starts to wear off, I am having second thoughts. Forget the troopergate stuff .... and the other potentially damaging accusations of her record. What is bugging me is the fact that her speech was written by a writer working for Bush's administration. Delivered well, obviously, but apparently not her original thoughts. Then, the next day, at a rally in Wisconsin with McCain, she basically repeated the same attention getting lines contained in the RNC speech. Nothing new. Nothing original. The crowd still cheered and howled as she delivered the quips written for her, as if they were hearing them for the first time. But then, McCain addressed the crowd and asked if they had seen her speak at the RNC. The place erupted with another round of applause and cheers. What the hell? They already heard it the first time, plus probably a gazillion times more as the news media played and replayed the highlights. Yet, they still react as if it was fresh material. Obama's campaign does the same thing of course. Canned, packaged talking points. Bring on the one on one debates. This media circus is getting old. Eisboch |

Eisboch Can you imagine the media having to listen to the same speech numerous times a day? No wonder they are so jaded. But there is nothing new about repeating the same speech, it has been going on ever since candidates starting hitting "the stump". |

Eisboch What's even worse is that so many of the claims made on Palin's behalf are turning out to be absolute bullschitt. Interestingly, apparently Palin is *not* going to be available for major market press conferences for a while. Certainly, a few days off after the convention is appropriate and she does want to spend time with her son before he ships out, but that is not really why she is being kept away from top-drawer reporters. It is because, well, she isn't "ready" for prime time, as it were. Any smart adult who is used to public speaking should be able to deliver a professionally written speech properly. Palin obviously is a bright woman who knows how to speak. But it takes a bit more than that to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, and I haven't seen one bit of evidence that tells me she'd know what to do when McCain falls over and dies. Frankly, from her performance and from her "rep," my conclusion about her is that she is little more than a snarly bitch. Now, I understand the GOP is "interfering" with the troopergate investigation in Alaska. That doesn't surprise me. |

I don't find Ms. Palin even slightly physically attractive, and that accent she has...what the hell is that all about? |

I wonder if he could say some nice things about Barry instead of snarking on Ms. Palin. |

She looks short and dumpy to me, she has no sense of style, she has a lousy hairdo, and those glasses...jesus. There are plenty of women of Palin's approximate "vintage" and older I find attractive. My wife, for starters, and a whole range of movie stars, such as Salma Hayek, Catherine Deneuve, Halle Berry, Jennifer Anniston, et cetera. |

Your system drags all the crap out way too long. Tomorrow, our Prime Minister will call a federal election and it will be all over on Oct 14. 5 weeks is plenty to listen to the lies and bull****. |

I'll be damned if I want one of those chickies as the Vice President of the United States. |
