This Editorial just in from my hometown newspaper, the venerable Washington Post (Thursday, September 4th, 2008, p. A14) :
MS. PALIN'S INTRODUCTION:
A Strong Convention Speech alone can't answer the questions about her readiness
"Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's acceptance speech at the convention last night was an impressive debut on the national stage -- well-delivered, with an appealing combination of charm and bite befitting her description of a hockey mom as a pit bull in lipstick."
The editorial goes on to say that despite receiving high marks for her speech, one must still question her ability to become a heart-beat away from Commander in Chief, especially given her " astonishingly thin resume: --mayor of a small town; governor of a sparsley populated state for less than two years -- hoping to ascend to national leadership. The country will need to hear more from Ms. Palin before being convinced of the soundness of Mr. McCain's judgement."
Check out the link above for the full text of the editorial and the reader comments that followed. As I mentioned last night, I was blown away by her speech. Whether she has experiential substance to back up her vim and vigor remains to be seen. And as for the controversies regarding her private life, let the games begin. What did you think of her speech????
