That is pretty good, all she needed was the topic to speak about it.
Ol Barry needs three screens and a room full of script writers to speak.
'Cept the notes weren't for the speech, they were for the softball interview afterwards. I don't even think TOTUS needs his speechifiers and teleprompters in an interview with a friendly crowd serving up softball questions.
This whole thread is "well, Obama does....".
Listen, we all know Obama is an empty suit with no experience blundering along with flowery language on a screen.
HOWEVER....
The answer is not some blow-dried, inexperienced, self promoting, quit-when-the-going-gets-tough woman, mouthing folksy slogans
who can't even remember four basic talking points in an interview without writing them down on her hand.. She keeps comparing herself to Reagan and how she is a Reagan conservative. But did Reagan quit as governor of California when the left started going after him? Was Reagan so insecure in his core beliefs that he had to write them on his hand because he was afraid he would forget them (ya ya, I see an Alzheimers joke coming here). Did Reagan constantly seem to care more about his image than his beliefs?
Many on the right like Palin simply because the left can't stand her. So because the left can't stand her, this for some reason automatically means that whatever she says or do must be good. This is no reason to fall in with a political figure. Doing that cheapens what conservatism is about. And the one thing that Palin is good at is cheapening the conservative movement to meaningless soundbites, folksy words, and absolutely no concrete and defined ideas on how to move this country forward in a conservative manner.
