My honest opinion, she did a good job rallying the everyday, hardworking Republican American (majority of the crowd) behind emotionally charged subject matter. However, I feel as though many of her statements lacked any evidence or credible reference…deeming them rash and unverified. In addition, the manner of which she chose to criticize the Obama administration was tasteless and disrespectful. Not a great speech. Would expect this from a local construction worker, not a former Vice Presidential candidate. Step your game up Mrs. P! This is one place where a passing grade is NOT good enough.

UPDATE: Video Analyzing Her Speech

So with the release of Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue”, there has been a flurry of Palin-ography on the web….. including a Newsweek photo that she Facebook-ed as being “sexist” and a Current.tv skit that labeled her a Twilf (a la milf). You can catch these as well as her recent Good Morning America interview after the jump. Pax.
