Can John McCain's speech tonight top Sarah Palin's performance at the GOP convention?

How come in 2004 the Repub trashed a real war hero (John Kerry) and now the only good thing they have is a guy who dropped bombs on schools and homes.

Did anybody notice notice how hateful they all were in that arena last night?

It reminded me of the dinosaurs wallowing in pools of blood on "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

They have even less than '04.

Is Palin the best you could do? For the Republicans, I'm sure it was.

Shades of the shady carl rove! That clown continues to rove all over the American people. It's so sad that the people in this country are so Out To Lunch!

Hey SinIL: I really would like to see how straight you could hold your arms after being tortured for your country for six years! You obviously know nothing about why he "looks" the way he does. Have the scrotum to research a candidate rather than be an ant marching in place following the other ants!

Palin rocked the country and that is what you are all afraid of!!! You never saw it coming!

This says it all:

Obama:
B.A in political science from Columbia University, with a specialization in international relations
J.D. in Law from Hardvard, graduated magna cum laude; President of the Harvard Law Review
12 years (92-04) teaching constitutional law
7 years State Senator: sponsored more than 800 bills
4 years Senator for Illinos, a state with 12.8 million people

Palin:
Bachelor's in journalism from University of Idaho
4 years Wasilla City Council (8000 people)
6 years Wasilla mayor (8000 people)
1 year "Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission"
20 months governor of a state with 660,000 people

McCain is so washed-up and feeble that he has to use his five years in Hanoi as a crutch to give himself a sense of parity with the love that Obama gets so effortlessly. I was a Hillary supporter from day one, but Obama has earned my support and vote now. Palin and that moron Giuliani only solidified it last night with their spiteful dribble. It was interesting to see how little "presense" was in the room until the name-calling started. The camera panned constantly, trying find snapshots of faces without a blank stare. I loved the shots of Palin's back with the teleprompter feeding her verbatim tripe like a high-tech ventriloquist act. Yay CNN!

I predict a 20 point lead in the polls over the next few days. No way on earth these thick-headed, moose-eating hypocrits can steal another term!

Sarah Palin's speech was exceptional. She is very articulate and her delivery was excellent. The negativity from MSNBC is not in the least bit surprising. Fox is slightly right leaning(Alan Colmes keeps it in check) , CNN slightly left leaning but MSNBC is a propaganda machine for the liberal agenda, thus "zero" credibility.

The rude insults and wisecracks on Obama are one thing, but they get a little old when that's the bulk of your speech rather than spelling out what you will do to create positive change for America. There were too many issues not even mentioned by Palin. And all her joking was too much; I don't think a lot of Americans find the current state of our country too funny right now. One other thing...I know about John McCain's heralded military history (and I respect that), however, that isn't all we need to know about him to determine whether or not he's suited to hold this country's highest office. If McCain and Palin don't start talking about thier plans and policies for running this country, they'll never see the inside of the White House as incumbents!

Her speech consisted of nothing but insults, she made no effort to say whta she is going to do and the disrespect she had toward Barcak was appauling, no one knew who this @!$%# was until last week and she wants to start acting like she's somebody!? Dems take the gloves off and put her in her place.

The liberal left Dem's are running scared now, and I love it! McCain will also give a very powerful speech tonight, just wait and see. Two years now and the do nothing Congress under he Dem's is a laugh! This Congress has one of the lowest ratings of all time. It shows they don't know what change is. I have NEVER yet met a Dem., who did not like a tax increase. Never!

Both are equal opportunity morons so it really doesn't make much difference. OLD man mcbush and pistol packing mama wiill do about the same lousy job. I can't believe how eassily impressed the right is with somebody reading adminstration talking points off a teleprompter. I guess that's the reason anyone ever watched faux noise.

It took the true Americans that chastised Obama to get out of the church he was a member for 20 years. Every Sunday when he attended, it was God Damn America. Is that what you hand-outs want for a President..

It remains to be seen how Sarah will do on meet the press, I believe the luster will leave her at that point.

Ummmmm. I'm old enough to compare Palin to Thatcher & Meir. YOUR GO GIRL!!!

The problem is he has not had an "Executive" experience. As a so called "community activist" he has done anything where any decisions had to be made. Sarah Palin has taken on the big oil companies and managed every quarter a budget of over $1 billion dollars. Good news here is that Obama will not be elected otherwise we will all be "goose-stepping" for the next four years.

All I can say after last nights RNC is "Woof" let the dog loose on Obama, he will be chewed-up in no time :) GO SARAH!!!!

It remains to seen how Sarah will do on Meet the Press. I believe that the luster will fade fast after a good question and answer with the press. Provided McCain will allow it.

Sarah Palin's speech was mostly sarcasm. She delivered it well, but did not hear any substance. And while the word has been that families should be off limits, she spent most of her time talking about hers. I was a Hillary supporter and now am an enthusiastic Obama Biden supporter, who is offended by the thought that the fact that Palin is a woman would sway my vote. Attention to issues and offered solutions are what I, and hopefully all Americans, should be looking for. McCain's time as a POW is definitely something to be admired and his service to the country is also admirable. However, his current stance on issues will not move the country in the direction that it needs to go.

Does the picture on the front page of msnbc look like a Saturday night live sketch in the making or is it just me? They are going to have fun with this.

Did anyone notice that since the RNC started, no one has mentioned "the economy?" They are using their usual tactics to scare the ultra-conservative base such as abortion, gay marriage, and being attacked again by terrorists. Every sentence spoken by Rudy Giuliani has a noun, a very and 9/11 in it!Any women voters who would vote for McCain just because he picked a female running mate, obviously are not interested in seeing our country improve. If you really believe that you and our country are better off after 8 years of Republican rule, then vote for McCain / Palin!

I viewed the DNC and now the RNC I must admit... RNC has been putting me to sleep at night...DNC was so exiting that I couldn't go to sleep. RNC was so dead that Palin is exciting? I know of many people who were faced with a teen child pregnancy and they had their baby too. Many mothers have special needs children and work as well... this makes for good news I guess especially if you are running for public office... but nothing special about it. I wish the Republican party would stop talking about these family matters acting like it is the other side trying to attach Sara. Lets get to what policies they plan to execute to help out ordinary people. Sarah is a nice lady and I have a lot of respect for her...but not enough to vote for McCain... No Way! No How! Her speech was good but no real substance and I went to bed hungry. Both parties are Christians so it will be interesting to see the final outcome of all the noise, bells and whistles :)
