GOP convention: The Palin effect

Posted on September 4, 2008 by Lisa Vorderbrueggen

I arrived back at the hotel very late last night after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin dazzled Republicans with her debut speech as the party’s vice presidential candidate.

This sign was in the lobby:

I’m dissappointed with the negativity, cynicism and lack of policy positions (outside of the big plug for fossil fuels) in Gov. Palin’s speech yesterday. While she has charisma, she is ethically challenged and morally rigid. I see her as a self-promoter who says “family first” but is jumping into the spotlight to promote herself at the expense of her family. Yuck!

I am energized about this election for the first time since Palin was appointed. She is proving to be an outstanding pick for vice-president.
