    It was great! She was feisty and told it like it is on the economy and terrorism.

    Take it or leave it. Sure it was predictable preaching to her base, but it was still entertaining.

She is entertaining, but not a serious candidate. The people who believe in limited government deserve better.

      She has nothing to say. She couldn't even finish the job she was elected to do.

      I don't think she should shut up, I think she should get serious and say something worth saying.

      None of these people stood up when Bush-y took us from surplus to 1.2 Trillion in deficit. Did they just wake up yesterday from a coma?

      Completely worthless, no substance and had to read notes from her left hand during Q&A. Weak all around. Media should call her out on this

      Not one idea . Sadly, the cutesy sniping at the president goes over big with air heads. Wonder if she realizes quitting at the top is hard.

            Palin doesn't have a clue. She quit as governor, do you really think she has a brain? Doubtful. She is all fluff and no stuff.
