Sarah Palin Draws 36 MILLION Viewers - 1 Million Less than Obama

[link to www.irishtimes.com]

The Alaska governor's 36-minute speech energised delegates with sharp attacks on Barack Obama and a spirited defence of her own qualifications to be vice-president. Thirty-seven million people watched Ms Palin's speech on television, almost as many as saw Mr Obama's speech in Denver last week, and McCain campaign strategists expressed satisfaction yesterday that she had established herself as a formidable new figure on the political stage.


RUN COMMIE LIBS, RUN!!!

How many guys watched her hoping she'd take her clothes off.

It's called train wreck syndrome....it's hard to divert ones eyes from a disaster in the making.

What a joke!

Palin read a speech written by someone else JUST LIKE A PARROT!

A deer in the headlights?

You better believe it! Wait until she Meets the Press!

If ever!

exactly, i have nothing against her, but this is pretty close to a freak show

if she really had her shit together, no one would watch

Myth:

"Interesting bit of myth-making, mistaken reporting or both. Did Sarah Palin's TelePrompTer malfunction? A very little bit, but not much.

RedState is reporting that Sarah Palin's TelePrompTer broke last night, scrolling "significantly from where Governor Palin was in the speech." Politico's Jonathan Martin disputes the report. "Perhaps there were moments where it scrolled slightly past her exact point in the speech," Martin writes. "But I was sitting in the press section next to the stage, within easy eyeshot of the Teleprompter. I frequently looked up at the machine, and there was no serious malfunction. A top convention planner confirms this morning that there were no major problems."

I too was sitting in the press section, (behind Palin and off to her right side). I had a clear view of the TelePrompTer, and read along with her.
Republican National Convention

At one point I noticed, and remarked to a colleague, that it would jog a line or two ahead of where she had paused. I noticed that she seemed to use the pause afforded by applause to glance down at the papers in front of her. Having found the missing line or two (it was not more than that), she would resume.

Certainly she managed the hiccups smoothly, but this is not an example of winging it in the same vein as a Truman, Kennedy, Nixon, or Clinton might have."

Parrots can be taught to speak too!

A deer in the headlights!

.....approximately 28.345924 million!!

I watched her speech and thought she did a great job.
I didn't watch Obama, since there is not a chance in hell I'll be voting for him.
