I just finished watching a video on MSNBC of Sarah Palin giving a speech in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. She did not have the luxury of a teleprompter while giving her speech. This woman was not only READING her speech, but she was using her finger to follow where she was on the page!!!! WTF? And this is what we want from a Vice-President? If she is so ready, shouldn't she just be able to speak about why she feels John McCain is the best man for the job? I don't recall Joe Biden looking at notes when he was introduced in Springfield. When I saw Senator Obama in Seattle, he spoke for at least an hour at Key Arena and he had NO NOTES. If she is being handed a piece of paper to read, hell, any news reporter could do that! I've done a ton of voice over and acting work--I could do that! Anyone who can read without making a mistake and make it sound halfway decent (which is more than I can say for John McCain) can do that! But Sarah, please, please don't use your finger to keep your place on the page! It looks so, so very elementary school!
It's clear why the McCain campaign isn't allowing Palin to go in front of the press by herself. They are deathly afraid she will say something wrong, not be able to answer questions, make a fool of herself. They know that she knows nothing about foreign policy. They know she is not ready. They are playing games and they know it. The only people who love her are the right-wing evangelicals. Even the mainstream Republicans think she is the biggest risk in political history.
