These people think tuning in to the TV to watch a speech is the same as casting a vote. What the hell is wrong with you?

Do you not think that millions tuned in to find out what this person is all about? After all, I/you have never heard of her until a week ago.

Preferred/enjoyed, what ever you say chief.

Just because I watched and helped increase her ratings doesn't mean I will vote for her.

Oh wait....that was too hard for you to understand. Let me try again:

Not everybody who watch her liked her.

Hows that?

That's what I was thinking too. Most people now know what Barack is all about, and may not have felt it necessary to watch his speech. Since Palin is a relative unknown, there may have been more of a need to see what her deal is.

Curiosity will always get people to stop and look at train wrecks...
Since when are you voting for the VP?

Shows you should not really be voting at all if you think you vote for a VP.

She is the new Messiah, move over Barack, she delivers and gets things done, Barack is "just words" with no action.

She has this entire country fired up, she has dropped Barack Obama down to a pint size nothing.

This hockey mom has destroyed Obamas paid for news cycle.

Gosh, the liberals are now all talking about the things she didnt talk about, well liberals, who cares what you people think, you had your chance and you failed us.

Palin Power is alive and well

Drill baby Drill

But no, the media was even fawning over her! After she said that she's not looking for the media's approval. Apparently answering questions entails pandering to the media for their approval.

Why not? Everything about Palin reeks of pandering. If there was no pandering, she'd have been nowhere near Minneapolis last night.

I thought some of the Obama support was sort of blind, but this takes the cake. Everything that can be said about him can be said about Palin. Sure, she was an executive, but apparently she couldn't even keep Wasilla out of the red. More debt is sure as hell not what we need.

So if the next American Idol ratings beat her speech's ratings does that mean that Ryan Seacrest should run for public office??

If he does, it'll be on the Rainbow Ticket.

I watched last night because I have no idea who this woman is. She could be a heartbeat away from the presidency, I'd like to at least be familiar with her. That is the only reason her ratings were so high.
