John McCain has been vindicated; all of us who pushed for this pick have been vindicated; Gov. Sarah Palin hit a game-changing halfcourt shot with her speech, the Obama campaign is speechless, and “America has a new sweetheart.” Whether the media knew what a remarkable woman and politician Sen. McCain had found, he did, and so did we. To the slime peddlers and rumormongers, in case you didn’t get the memo, you aren’t going to be able to break this woman, so you might as well stop trying. All you’ve managed to do is hurt yourselves.The text of Gov. Palin’s speech is here; video is below.
Thanks for posting that, I was exhausted and went to bed long before she started her speech. I knew if I could find it naywhere, it would be here.
🙂
Thanks for the confidence. I too was in bed at the time (though I wound up getting up later, hence the post). I hope you got the C-SPAN feed to work well–I’ve been having trouble with it, so I switched to a copy from YouTube.
It was fine, here’s another one to post. They didn’t have time to show it last night
Palin bio
What a great speech, as graduate and student of history, this discourse was Amazingggggggggggggggggg….Reagan,Thatcher, Teddy all into One…
Tyler Dawn, sorry I hadn’t remembered to thank you for that link earlier–much appreciated (though it appears it wasn’t set up for embedding).
Carlos–yeah; given the circumstances leading up to the speech, I’m not sure when was the last time we’ve seen anything that remarkable.
