Who gives a fuck people.

Her image as an incompetent and corrupt nut job has already been exposed to the public.

Palin's past and her scandals are not going to go away with one speech. Afterall we are not a nation of morAns.

1. Nope -- not the only one.
I'm right there with you!!

I will definitely not be watching her speech...I would rather watch grass grow.

2. We're going to see Carlos Mencia tonight....
tickets were prepaid so I've got an excuse to not give 2 damns.

I sorta give a 1/2 a damn though.

3. I can't wait to see how she does. Cause I think it will matter a bunch. But I love
the nuts and bolts of politics in general. Analysis, spectacle, teh strategery.

And the debate.... Really looking forward to that!

5. Nope - Tonight's Performance Doesn't matter
Look at Obama's performance less than a week ago. Today, in the collective conscious of America - a somewhat dim memory.

Palin's performance tonight will not change her fundamentals.

6. I have a class tonight
which I'm not going to miss for Palin.

I suspect it will be a good speech. I don't expect her to fall on her face. I'm sure she has excellent speech writers who will present her just the way they want her presented. It won't be a true picture of what she's about but it will be the image the GOP will want to present.

7. I don't care at all.
The bar has been set so low for her that she'll be hailed as a winner by the MSM no matter what.

And really, how hard a job does she have tonight? She's reciting a speech written by somebody else in front of a very supportive crowd. Plus she's a former TV sportscaster who has had a lot of practice in public speaking. Of course, she's going to do well. Big deal.

10. If she knocks it out of the park tonight
she sets the bar high for the debates. If she sucks, then as long as she doesn't piss herself at the debates, she will have won.

Other than that, I don't think there is an impact to tonight's speech.

11. I'm sure as hell not watching.
The media can try all they want to mold her into an acceptable choice. This is just ludicrous, and anyone who is thinking clearly can see that. There are many, many morAns in this nation but we outnumber them, and our numbers are growing due to the ridiculous actions of the Cons.

14. Nothing she can say can make her qualified or moral.
She's a user, eager to sell people out for petty revenge. Imagine what she'd be willing to do for money.

She ought not to be trusted with any public office.

15. I think half of this country IS a nation of morons! And I DO care how her speech
goes, only in the sense that I hope she shoots herself in the foot.

16. I care, but for all the wrong reasons
I'm really hoping she says something so mind-bogglingly, jaw-droppingly stupid that even the M$M can't spin it away. But I'm sure her handlers won't allow that to happen. It'll just be a bunch of high-school valedictorian cliches read from a teleprompter.

17. I'll be watching Bones and a DVR of the Steelers game from last week
Seriously, by next week how she did on a pre-written speech that she had no hand in creating will be totally irrelevant to how she responds when she's forced to defend her record and views on a daily basis.

She can't avoid the press much longer and if McCain's camp continues to limit her access then the public is going to know that her nomination was a cheap stunt designed to attract moderate women voters.
