WHY DO I GET THE FEELING SHE'S FALLING FLAT?
Maybe because my winger co-workers are calling me to tell me she's an empty suit? Maybe because she's inspiring no one? Maybe because she's a liar, about reform? Maybe because she seems ingenuine? Maybe because the 8 pukes that showed up are cheering her? Maybe because she sucks. Onward to the press conferences!

1. She's going on a bit long...
And a lot of what she's saying has already been questioned or contradicted by the press.

3. About a 3/4 of the audience isn't clapping.
I didn't think she'd do THIS bad.

12. I think they're getting tired. She should have quit about 5 minutes ago.
Started with a bang, ending with a whimper. No focus, no climax.

4. Or maybe because you wouldn't be posting here
if you didn't feel that way.

5. I have a very good sense for what she is against
but absolutely no idea what this person is for. She is a bridge to nowhere.

6. I think she's doing really well for her targetted audience, but sux for her that...
the specifics she is giving can be refuted (like the bridge to nowhere myth)

Also, no plans. No ideas. Frankly, the claim that she is against the bridge to nowhere kills them right there.

The teleprompter is her biggest friend and biggest enemy.

14. Where's the conviction?
It's like she's not even believing what she's saying. She doesn't sound confident at all.

18. I get that same feeling - Only thing I'm getting is that she is NOT qualified for VP

fast! she's looking a bit lost as time goes on... especially when she starting talking about foreign countries... she only seems to get the jabs and snarky comments with any conviction .

22. She's doing a shit job of introducing hersef
We already knew everything that she has already talked about. Now she's just attacking Obama with lame crap I'd expect to hear from Rush Limbaugh.

23. That black background doesn't help any
Makes it look like she's speaking at a funeral.

25. This is the most amateurish shit I've ever seen
All talking points and delivered poorly, I might add. I'm trying to be fair, but this is just not good. Everyone else that has talked has been better. This is highschool graduation quality speaking at best!

27. BECAUSE SHE IS FALLING FLAT.
I tuned in despite my best instincts because I didn't want to see a puppet spew the lines given to her. I'm glad I did because she was totally awful. She gave a bunch of platitudes and had very little emotion. She didn't hit the applause lines right and if she hadn't been in front of a partisan audience she would have received polite applause at best. She's a fucking joke and if McCain and her get into office based on this we deserve to be shunned by the rest of the civilized world.

29. The words aren't hers, and it shows.
She really doesn't have a any kind of a national platform because she's been focused solely on Wasilla and Alaska issues. Didn't she ask what the VP position would do for Alaska? Reciting talking points really doesn't do it, especially when it goes on too long.
