I predict that her speech will be brilliant, and everyone in the audience will applaud loudly and will be on their feet the entire time, hanging on every word. She'll say all the right things that her audience wants to hear. Much like any other convention speech.

Will it win votes for McCain? I think that's impossible to tell, seeing as the elections are still 67 days away. Will it play well with Republicans? Absolutely.

I plan on listening to her speech with as open a mind as possible. I'm really interested to see if she addresses some of her criticisms.
