Roundup of Reactions to Palin Speech

Roundup of Reactions to Palin Speech September 3, 2008

:::Latest Round Up Is HERE and this morning’s round up, as well!:::END

Next big challenge: the debate, and Biden is a tough guy. Reckless, but tough.

There is a general consensus, from reading around, that the Obama camp coming and with “hey, someone WROTE that speech for her” was an incredibly dumb move. Incredibly lame and laughable. What was interesting to me was hearing the newsgasbags mentioning “she did not write the speech” before the Obama camp’s statement was released. I’m just sad to see that the press was willing to make such a dumb complaint for him – to set the stage for it. I mean…really. I’d be embarrassed to utter it. Also, note that some of what she said last night, she said on Friday, so she must have had some input. Also…here is a newsflash for you…speechwriters, they write speeches. Not policy.

What did you think of the speech?

Second-stupidest statement of the night (after the shocking knews that speechwriters write speeches): Candy Crowley saying “I don’t know how such a strong woman will play outside this hall” Now the Republicans – formerly “afraid of strong women” – are apparently too appreciative of strong women, who will scare the electorate. Un-freaking-believable.

Also, Anderson Cooper said something about how Obama has “run his campaign” and employed several thousand people, so there you go. Ready for the Oval Office. Palin’s 8 years as a Mayor and 2 years as Governor don’t amount to a hill o’ beans in this crazy world…

Press headlines: Palin Mocks…. Palin Casts Herself as Washington Outsider. Casts herself? Um….

Lorie Byrd: So Much for the Redneck Beauty Queen Mayor of a Pissant Town

Michael Crowley:
My liberal friends are panicked

Betsy Newmark: Wow!

I didn’t hear Olbermann say this, but he sounds a little down

Andrea Mitchell: Glum, glum, glum. I’m not the only one who has noticed Wolf Blitzer: “A star is born

Jim Geraghty: My e-mail box is thrilled. Cam’s Talkbackers are thrilled — “you called down the thunder, and now ya have it.”

Andrew Sullivan: Still wants DNA tests, doctor testimony and medical records and proof of Trig’s parentage. Reduced to bitching about Palin’s facial expressions. Sigh.
