The Barracuda
Here are a few descriptions I heard or read about Governor Palin's speech last night at the RNC, from both conservatives and mainstream media alike:
"Stunning." "Phenomenal." "A home run." "Elegant." "Poised." "Connected with middle America." "She was impalin!"
In my opinion, Sarah Palin knocked it out of the park last night. She had a tall order to fill. She had to do exceptionally well, to convince America (and her numerous vitriolic critics) that she is a force to be reckoned with, that she is qualified to be where she is, and that she deserves some respect. I believe she did all that and more. And she left the opposition and critics scrambling.
And, in the midst of all this, her teleprompter broke. Nevertheless, Palin continued, unfazed, to deliver her exceptional speech without any interruption. (Compare that to how Obama reacted when his teleprompter went out.)
