@ Josh: I think it’s awesome. Getting a conversation going was the whole point of this thing.

I’m a little late to this, but does Palin remind anyone of some character in a movie? Honestly, when I was watching her, I kept thinking of a movie where there is a woman talking that EXACT same way with the EXACT same expression on her face, except in the movie it was in a parodying spirit.

His name is Cowboy Troy. He is country music’s one and only rapper. He is oddly not rap’s one and only country musician.

MIdwestern sounding? She sounded almost Canadian to me, eh? What was that all “about”?

For the record, I really hope Jess and Sam are right. And no, I don’t think that this speech will shift the tides or any of that–I agree with Jess that there was too much snark not enough substance. That said, I do think a lot of Hillary women are still SO BITTER about her not winning the primary and not even getting to be veep, and those that are more centrist may be willing to overlook some of Palin’s politics and just see a strong, Midwestern (well, Midwestern-sounding, an important distinction), down-home mom who can also be a stern, powerful leader.

LOL @ the cowboys singing both the National Anthem and the Pledge. Like, at the same time.

SAM YOU WIN YOU FOUND A BLACK REPUBLICAN

I’m sure it’s the same one they kept flashing on the screen intermittently. Literally. One black Republican, and they would show different angles of him to make it seem like it was more than one.
