waite a minute...palin gets a compliment for "being articulate" and "well prepared"? what is this? a high school presentation?

having low expectations makes the job of being a PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER much easier.

holy ****

It was 75 minutes - there you go with hyperbole again.

I read only one anonymous "compliment" the rest were either negative or neutral.

You say well-prepared but one participant said she gave a sales pitch for Alaska. Also, she would only take pre-arranged questions. Someone who is truly "well-prepared" is ready to take on all questions - not just ones that have been vetted by her handlers. Guess "impressive" is in the eyes of the beholder....

Palin, on the hand, has no such crutch.
Right. She's turns into a bumbling, stuttering fool all on her own...

said Mrs. Palin spoke from notes for 90 minutes and that she was articulate, well-prepared and even compelling.

“She’s definitely a serious future presidential candidate, and I understand why she plays so well in middle America,” said Mr. Coulter, a Canadian.

“They really prepared her well,” he said. “She was articulate and she held her own. I give her credit. They’ve tried to categorize her as not being bright. She’s bright.”
Meaning the Left.

90 minutes, from notes. No need for the tele. She doesn't need the crutch.

These threads are a barometer of her relevance.
This much attention isn't wasted on the unimportant.
The left considers her dangerous.

What a talent.
