I was unaware that authoring more than 800 pieces of legislation and cosponsoring over 1000 more during his time in both the state and US senate means that Obama has penned two memoirs but never any major bill. I guess The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006, The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, and The 2007 Government Ethics Bill are small potatos to someone of Palin's qualifications. I've also learned that volunteering is apparently a bad thing. Little did I know that someone who does such a selfless act of working for free for a cause they believe in means it's a direct comparison to an elected position where you abuse your power by inquiring how to ban books. I now know that there's no reason anyone should volunteer in places like a soup kitchen, or as a community organizer helping youth and the jobless, or the local McCain/Palin headquarters near Columbus, OH. If I were to run for office in the future, I wouldn't want such a negative thing as volunteering to come up during speeches! I need to thank Palin for helping me understand some things.

The TURE reason, I think, is that NO one else would run with John McWAR. So they had to find the only one who whould say yes. I too aggree with most comments on here, that that speech was just crap and had no meat as to what the Repubs plan or vision is for the future. So it must be true that it will be 4 more years of the FAILED bush/shoot you in the face cheny! I will take my chances with Mr. Obama.

No one ever refers to a man as being "shrill", I would think these career politicians like Reid would at least know that by now. Just that comment alone lets me know he is really out of touch with how to communicate with women voters.

The smirks and putdowns, not on anything concrete, just personal attacks by Romney, Guiliani and Palin will play well to the Republicans. Remember...they're the "me, me, me GOP". The thought of someone giving up the big bucks to go be a community organizer is as foreign to them as a Plutonian. The rest of us appreciate the sacrifice that Obama made to take that job. Palin was a journalism major. Did we really think it would be a stretch for her to READ someone else's remarks? Maybe she should give some pointers to Carly Fiorina.
