Either that, or you're just among the many agitated by the success of their speeches and still shocked that GOP speechmakers and convention politicians surprised us all and did something right and successful for a change.

Palin's choice as VP turns out to be the event of the year to date, politically.

They were well received nation-wide, not only in the GOP choir room last night. Is it desperation why so many of you are engaging in the most _pathetic_ fiction, mischaraterization of people and their speeches and behavior last night and four years ago, and in Shaun's case, more of his Desperately Driven sewage-swimming today?

The effect was to make Palin look more snide. The greatest irony was Giuliani's overly long speech, which prevented the video bio from being shown. The effect was to make Palin look more snide.

Giuliani created an ugly and divisive spectacle. We've seen the word "hate" thrown around pretty loosely here on occasion, but how could a speech like that be made without an underlying current of hate? That the crowd responded to this ugliness so fervantly I also found disturbing. Robert, I agree. Giuliani created an ugly and divisive spectacle.
