Well, what can I say. I thought the speech was awful. It was poorly delivered. She was too clearly 'reading'. She didn't seem to 'feel' or 'identify with' the lines. She came of as disingenuous. Then there is the issue of mockery and condescension. When will republicans learn that it is just this sort of talk that is exactly what people are tired of in politics, and a major part of why Obama has been so embraced; He doesn't insult and mock people.
Perhaps it was the incredibly insulting Giuliani speech that preceeded Palin's that set the tone, but I came out of those two speeches feeling like I needed a bath.
If I'm right, this speech went over like a lead balloon outside of the convention room floor. I look forward to seeing polls on this. And I feel quite certain we'll see just the same sort of aggressive condescension from McCain. So if I'm right there's going to be little to no bounce off this. In fact, I'll predict a drop. McCain will never get over 45%.
