Live Blogging from my Couch II

Not to let this go by without comment, but I confess I felt a little sick to my tummy hearing Sara Palin speak last night. Shoot, she did a good job.
I SO wholeheartedly disagree with SO many of her positions (women's choice at the top of the list, and the answer to the energy crisis is not about drilling more!), but she was really dynamic and kind of funny even. It reminds of how much of politics (and life) is about charisma and good presentation.

What's worse, I apparently find myself agreeing with Karl Rove these days, who made the comment that Palin was a choice to win the election, not to govern.

And darn it, her 7-year-old daughter is so cute, and shares the name of our kitten, Piper. She also shared her secret hairstyling tricks last night at the convention.

Palin's a good speaker, but all those one-liner digs on her opponent(s) flat-out rubbed me the wrong way. Why can't candidates stick to their own issues and promises instead of making themselves look immature by spending an entire speech being defensive and insulting to others, I wonder? Anyway she still seems a little empty-headed to me...too much emphasis on the small-town mom thing that everyone seems to find endearing. Kinda makes me want to barf. This all of course ignores the part about how I, like you, disagree with most of her positions. Sigh. Stupid politics.
