meh, you people are so petty and partisan. left this right that, blah, blah, blah. Are you guys so dim witted that you cant see beyond the political spectrum? Oh wait, that's why there will be no difference with a person like palin - you said it yourself right above. She is counting on the left.

Oh BTW, only really really stupid people try to invalidate global warming with snowfall in winter.

You are really not suited to discussion outside of AGW are you?

As for really stupid people, I guess you were referring to RFK jr and AlGore, both having done what you condemned.

She taxed the oil companies enough so that in addition to covering the entire state budget, the citizens all got paid to live in Alaska.

Now that might work in a state that has a lot of oil and not many people, but it's going to be a little tougher to enact that policy and cover the entire federal budget. But I do like where she's done more than what she says.

Palin during a Q & A had

1. Energy
2. Lift up American spirit

written on her hand. The liberals have got their panties all tied up in a wad over it.

Of course they elected a President that needs to tie a teleprompter around his neck to get through a paragraph. And as we have witnessed once his teleprompter goes on the blink--so does he---

Overall--at the Tea Party convention--Palin knocked the ball out of the park. And you know when she can get liberals so uptight, she is a home run hitter---

The tea party movement is for real. I went to mine over the weekend & we had all 5 candidates running for U.S. senator there to speak. And I live in a small town. They are not ignoring us. The Tea Party movement will be a force in 2010--that Republicans & Democrats will have to deal with.

And we all know that if Obama had notes written in his hand, all you´d say were "Good for him"... you wouldn´t at all comment...

There was a very interesting op ed in today The Austtralian newspaper (the only national paper in the country) about Sarah Palin and her speech. I've pasted it below in case people were interested. It essentially says that the Dems should embrace her running for President for the GOP as it would virtually assure them (the Dems) victory as it would see the centrist independents flock to the left.

You forget, it was Palin who started that attacks on Obama for using a teleprompter. If she doesn't like having to clean all those glass walls in her home, she shouldn't pick fights by throwing stones.

Now this extra payment explains why some could not afford to attend the party. Thanks for the post.

I cannot believe where this thread has gone. There are some significant issues out there regarding the Tea party and Palin. There are a lot of people here with comments and insights on both sides of the issue and all we can talk about is that Palin wrote notes on her hand??

Bush Sr lost in 1992 to Clinton because a second right wing candidate split the right votes.

Gore lost to Bush jr in 2000 because second left wing candidate split the left votes.

Palin could lose the 2012 election for the right if she and the tea party split the right vote.

I had to laugh when I saw this. Last week my 9yo Grand daughter got caught with the answers to a history test written on her hand.

Its not about winning.

I have to wonder, did she really think that it was smarter to scrawl notes on her hand than to have a single note card in front of her on the podium?

What kind of "intelligence" does this reflect?

While I am no Palin supporter, I do find it humorous that people bring up about her writing notes on her hand....I suppose none of you ever got into a hurry and simply jotted down things to remind yourselves. I think she did a great speech being that she only had a few simple words written down, not compared to a teleprompter or joe jack talking in ear piece such as another has used.

If a few words written on her hand pisses the left off that much, perhaps she is what we need.
