Earlier in the day the Republicans were worrying that Palin could read the teleprompter with ease. Well, she certainly proved that! She mouthed the speech writer's words very well. An incredible lack of substance.
And I think even some of the supporters of McCain will surely get tired of the constant reference to his war service 40 years ago. And what was that really....he got captured and lived through it with some honour but what choices were there?
They say his grandfather and father were admirals in the Navy. Well...that puts a lot of pressure on a young lad. Guess he figured he had to be tough.
Just like this poor Levi (the father of the child of Bristol, the daughter) who is dragged into all this...guess he'll go through with marrying her since he hasn't much choice after McCain was embracing them both (perhaps really wanting to strangle them both...) at the airport today.
Same thing with Palin. I think she had some ideas when she was Mayor of her small town and Governor of Alaska but she better forget about any independent thinking now. She will be towing the party line all the way whether she likes it or not. That's how it works.
I guess I'll watch McCain's speech tonight...in for a penny, in for a pound. I hope it isn't all cliches and "country first"...I may just go stark raving mad if I listen to too much more of that.
