Apparently the teleprompter quit pausing for applause, and the Governor made the last half of her speech from memory.

and she was great. Remember when Obama's teleprompter quit? He had to stop and wait for it to be fixed.

I didnt know that. She is amazing and it shows she knew what she was saying. If this would have been "McCain's Opponent" cant stand saying his name, he would have looked down, stuttered and threw a fit. I know he wouldnt have been able to talk. I have seen interviews with him not knowing what to say and he always looks down, wont look up, stutters, pauses and says uh, over and over.

Nonsense! If you don't like Obama, so be it! But it is childish to make a comment like you made. The only attribute of Sarah Palin is that, she is stunningly beautiful! But what country needs is not a beautiful womman! It ineeds intelligent people, who can grapple with difficult situation. McCain, Palin and their party is responsible for the mess the country is in now, but most of you dunderheads cannot guage the gravity of the situation!

If it did stop working, we really don't know. It was safer for her to go with the teleprompter, than to allow people think that this what she really thinks.

So what?? If she's a good speaker, she knows what she's reciting anyway. And people are taught to expect such things when they're live like that: sometimes things go awry and you have to just improv. I still don't like her, I still don't trust her, and I can't wait for the debates when she gets her naive ass kicked.

Both McCain and Obama are puppets of the global elite with plans in action to eliminate about 90% of the world population and enslave the one's left. So voting for either McCain or obama is like the choice between hanging or the firing squad. Palin was chosen to get the support and votes of Christians and woman.

shut up, you socialist! my family has been on the same plot of land for more than 150 years, mom! do you know anything of our nation's history? did you know that for nearly 3 years after the constitution was ratified in september of 1787 we didn't even have a bill of rights, let alone pussy ass safety nets. i'll categorize you all i want based on your slanderous writing. the only thing with which i agree in your above drivel is that our constitution has been peed on by both parties and especially yours. you are completely ignorant of the constitution based on the filth that is spewed in your writing, and i can understand why no one listens to you!

I thought average american is a highly enlightened person, who can take others opinions with a sense of equanimity! Yes, socialism may not be palatable to many capitalists! But what does the $700 billion bailout by US taxpyers mean? What do the actions of great capitalists like Bush, McCain and other republicans in the wake of the latest economic crisis indicate? Any system-whether it is socialism or capitalism- is as good as the persons who manage it. That great leader Bush, who presided over the fate of this country in the past eight years, balooned the national debt from $5 trillion to over $10 trillion (and on the rise by second). The deficit is a modest half trillion dollars. If this is the achievement of capitalism and it is good for the country, good luck! Good words cost little and worth more! Asking someone to go to Cuba or some other country is not the answer for country's travails!

so now because she pronounces a word different then you. She cant be VP. Way to be closed minded . If this even happened. And, unless you are in her inner circle you could not possibly know.
