Fired up the Base(s)

Submitted September 4, 2008 - 12:29 am by Billy (not verified)

I think Palin's speech also fired up the Democratic base.  We don't need to hear that junk all over again. I contributed tonight.

What I don't understand is why the McCain campaign rolled out leading GOP women to defend Palin from sexist attacks.  Clearly, she's willing to play the bulldog role and can defend herself (at least with a teleprompter). 

I was worried at the beginning, once she got over her choppy start, that she would be able to seem sympathetic, down-to-earth, tough enough.  I liked her at the beginning, but then the speech shifted and morphed into Giuliani for awhile.  

By the way, Al, your message from a few posts back is just as accurate here.  Because Giuliani went long, they had to go straight into Palin without the introductory film.  No context for Palin other than the announcer's voice.  I was actually as worried, earlier tonight, about the film than about her speech. I wonder if they'll try to play it during primetime on Thursday.
