Don't know about anyone else, but Palin's speech was much more
entertaining to me than Barack's.

I finally watched Barack's speech because everyone was going wild over
his oratory skills. But right off the bat, he started off with: "With
profound gratitude and great humility..."

That's inane. The Dear Profound Leader describes even his own
humbleness as "great"? (Actually, that was his second sentence. His
very first one paid respect to a couple party bosses.)

The disturbing part about Palin's speech was her contempt for
"community organizer." It was so nonsensical (like that's his only
experience) that I assume it's some racist and/or authoritarian
Republican codeword. And I wonder if CSPAN's camera operator got in
hot water over showing her teleprompter for a couple seconds.

Though, I think both candidates (and their handlers) constructed their
characters well. And I expect Biden can also build up a compelling
character, with his razor 1000 megawatt smile. Maybe a lovable cad?
