Did Keith just say she clearly just gave a great speech?

[Maven]

[AlCzervik]

1. yeah he did.

[neomonkey]

2. "She hit it out of the park," they lauded on CNN.

[DJ13]

Marching orders

Even Keith has to follow sometimes.

[AnnieBW]

3. Who is this person

and what have they done with KO?

[Stand and Fight]

5. Disappointed in his response.

Her speech sucked ass and why the fuck are these fools crying?

[ShortnFiery]

27. Realize that we are listening to the Corporate Media. Nobody respects the peasantry.

Their biggest mistake is to underestimate us when it comes to this upcoming election. You can STEAL an election that's close.

Ladies and Gentlemen, all of America's corrupt pollsters, journalists and politicians can NOT make McSame and his Librarian electable. ;)

[depakid]

6. They're all going to say that

get ready for the laudatory adjectives. Most of them prepared well in advance.

[book_worm]

7. If Rachel says roughly the same thing then I'm inclined to think that her speech must not have sucke

as much as some here think. I didn't watch it, so I can't say.

[JeanGrey]

10. It didn't suck.

[AldebTX]

20. Did they Mention

It was all Pre-written before she was even chosen (according to andre mitchell)

She was just speaking the words.

[my3boyz]

8. Don't tell me he has gone over to the dark side. Either he is lying or the

people posting on this board are lying.

[TheDonkey]

9. she did well being an attack dog. She was a nasty vile woman

and truly outed herself as someone who is dangerous to this country.

[jimlup]

11. He qualified it...

We can't deny that. What Chris Mathews is saying is true. That is what it will come down to. Will the undecideds go for these cheap shots and half truths that appear to be "policy".

They really don't have "policy" all they had was fear: Fear of "terrorist" and Fear of "tax and spend liberals".

Will America buy it? We have to make sure that they don't!

[AldebTX]

12. Sigh

I guess they want to keep the race interesting. Seems like we never catch a break.

[Doityourself]

13. Its all a game

[cottonseed]

14. Heard that. Was wondering what his angle was.

It was terrible, wasn't even hers. Garbage all around. He'll probably try and pick away at it as the night goes on.

[TheDonkey]

15. she did well being an attack dog. She was a nasty vile woman

and truly outed herself as someone who is dangerous to this country.

16. Keith was correct. She did well, as cynically scripted.

She spoke the lines assigned to her by the RNC operatives, smearing her opponents without regard for any facts and not at all bothered by that.

Brazen as the best of those liars.

[pinto]

17. She "read" a good speech. Endless innuendo, lies and all. But a good read.

[Overseas]

18. Keith was correct. She did well, as cynically scripted.

She spoke the lines assigned to her by the RNC operatives, smearing her opponents without regard for any facts and not at all bothered by that.

Brazen as the best of those liars.

She did the weepy "Grampy The Soldier won't let us down" stuff very well too. Total lies, well delivered.

[complain jane]

19. It was a good speech. But that wasn't unexpected. This is all staged, rehearsed, show biz.

Not the real deal.

The real deal starts now.

[sfam]

21. It was a great speech. Not sure how you can say different. I don't agree with it of course...

but it clearly was at the upper end of what anyone would have possibly expected from her. She knows how to deliver lines, she can deliver jokes, and she doesn't talk over the crowd - she uses them.

[Overseas]

22. Keith was correct. She did well, as cynically scripted.

She spoke the lines assigned to her by the RNC operatives, smearing her opponents without regard for any facts and not at all bothered by that.

Brazen as the best of those liars.

She did the determined, sincere "Grampy The Soldier won't let us down" stuff very well too. Total lies, well delivered.

Excited Republicans, so glad to have a non-zombie on the ticket, are pretending she's qualified.

[bkcc]

23. I don't agree, but what do I know?

It seemed to me that it was an excuse to list names and bash people from the Democratic Party. At least that's what happened after she spent the first 30 minutes telling her life story and introducing her family.

It may have reached the base, but it was not a good speech. It was griping read off a teleprompter.

[apocalypsehow]

24. She delivered it well - only the blindest of blind partisans could deny that.

However, it was chock-full of lies and nonsense. :thumbsdown:

[apocalypsehow]

25. She delivered it well - only the blindest of blind partisans could deny that.

However, it was chock-full of lies and nonsense. :thumbsdown:

[mvd]

26. From what I've heard

Things that were wrong with the speech:

That snark can't pass for good humor
That she said the same lies, not as well as Ghouliani
That she did nothing to make herself worthy of sympathy
That droll and drawn out delivery can't substitute for good delivery

Doesn't sound like a success to me. How can she make herself known while being an attack dog?

[ChiciB1]

30. Because This IS WHAT Repukes Do AND Somehow This Country

eats this stuff up!!! All I can say is.... HERE WE GO AGAIN! They will back this person and follow along with ANYTHING their party says, no matter what, no matter how and NO MATTER what it costs this country!!

All the younger generation that has showed so much enthusiasm and energy for Obama HAD BETTER GET OUT and VOTE... or WE WILL GET IT AGAIN!

Playing nice just DOES NOT win America over... go for jugular and they go WILD! If it's THEM AGAIN, I actually think I want to get the hell out of here! It's just TOOOOOOO much to take ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

[mvd]

32. Obama got great reaction with a more POSITIVE speech

I'm not so cynical. I believe that people really want to hear how these politicians can help make their lives better. Sarah Palin was just "more of the same." With all that's coming out on her, she needed to be more than an attack dog with tepid PTA lines.

[ChiciB1]

34. I'm Really NOT Trying To Be Rude... But Didn't HER Speech Get the Highest

watched speech of each convention so far?? Does it mean "curiosity" or something other? I'm not sure, just KNOW I can't DEAL with this crap anymore!! And why should ANYONE?? But THEY DO and that's what so sickening!

[Fla Dem]

28. The speech was written for her and she did OK delivering it.

It's not like she hasn't delivered a speech before. I don't know why everyone thought she was going to fall flat on her face.

[MrMickeysMom]

29. Well, it might be great, were it not written for a VP hopeful

But, she's supposed to be a VP hopeful, not a smug cheerleader trying to rev up "team mean spirit"-

That's fucked up, MSNBC.

[Time for change]

31. He noted the sarcasm, and asked if that was appropriate

[Berry Cool]

33. Keith said, quite dryly:

"For those who like this sort of thing, this will be the sort of thing they like."

Yeah, he was just slobbering with praise... :rofl:
