Palin's speech rallied her Republican base. She had to quiet their doubts more than independents or so-called Hillary Republicans. Like others have said up thread, she delivered/presented the speech well. But, the McCain camp already knew she could because they had been watching her tapes. Now, for content, I wasn't impressed with the low blows she took at Obama especially when she said "being a small town mayor was like being a community organizer only with actual responsibilities." The republicans definitely got their attack dog (pitbull with lipstick).
I expected the Republicans to insult Obama & Biden's personal characters. That's what they do. Now the question is how will the Democrats respond. Palin has opened the door for Biden to completely aggressively take her head on without being labeled demeaning. Reading a speech is one thing, but going face to face without unprepared text is another.
