Live Blogging of Sarah Palin’s Republican National Convention Speech
LIVE TONIGHT: I will be blogging Sarah Palin’s national speech from the Republican National Convention here in just minutes. (Refresh for Updates!)
10:12pm - That was a pro at work tonight. She knew when to be funny and when to be serious and get her point across. Now the entire family is on stage: Todd, the five kids, and Bristol’s baby daddy Levi Johnston. After a couple of minutes “Old Man” McCain wobbles onstage to join the Palin army.
The youngest Palin daughter is so cute she just might get kidnapped tonight. Great looking family. The hockey playing boyfriend is a stud too! Look for him to be D.C.’s version of Kevin Federline.
Overall Grade: A+
McCain unfortunately has to follow this speech tomorrow night!
10:11pm - “Thank you and God Bless America.” Sarah was paying attention to my cues. 
10:10pm - Sarah has about hit all the points she needs to. About time to wrap it up and end a masterpiece.
10:07pm - Too many one liners for me to keep up with. If you aren’t able to see this live try to catch it on a replay later.
10:05pm - She just busted Harry Reid’s chops so hard about he said he can’t stand John McCain and says what he meant to say is, “He can’t stand up to John McCain.”
10:04pm - “A leader that is not looking for a fight but sure isn’t afraid of one!”
10:03pm - This woman is coming across a lot more seasoned than her resume states.
10:01pm - Lots of great one liners and zingers. She just got in a good one in on Barack’s self designed Presidential seal.
10:00pm - “There are some candidates that use change to promote their careers and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.”
9:59pm - “Victory in Iraq is in site and he wants to forfeit.”
9:57pm - “What is exactly our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish after he is done turning back the waters and healing the planet?” THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE
9:55pm - Riles up the faithful again by saying their opponent has written two memoirs but not a single bit of noteworthy legislation in the U.S. or State Senate.
9:53pm - Still going into very specific details about how McCain/Palin will attack energy crisis with numerous details. I wish I was smart enough to keep up.
9:51pm - She is going into very specific detail about oil and energy. Something Barack and co. avoided last week. She is full of specifics at this point in the speech.
9:50pm - Vetoed nearly half a billion dollars of waste from Alaska’s budget.
9:49pm - “As a chief executive I can assure you it (veto) works.”
9:47pm - “That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on Ebay!”
9:45pm - I have never seen a speech like this. The CBS News dude Bob Schieffer is rolling and he just got b**tch slapped by Palin. The crowd is in a frenzy. I don’t think anyone expected a performance this good from Palin.
9:44pm - Now she is going after the major media for excluding her or not being a part of the political powerhouse.
9:42pm - She is full of it…intelligence, humor….and now she is going to explain to Barack what the job of mayor involves: “A small town mayor is kind of like a community organizer but you have actual responsibilities.” THE CROWD GOES NUTS! Her claws are out and she is going hard after Barack for talking different to the populace to their face and behind their back in San Francisco about sticking to their guns and religion.
9:41pm - “The difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull is ……. lipstick.”
9:40pm - Democrat or Repubican: You are out of touch if Palin doesn’t inspire you in one way or another. She is in ways way too good at this. Maybe she is the ‘Manchurian Candidate’.
9:39pm - Palin gives a heart warming shout out to her husband Todd.
9:37pm - She gives shout outs to the entire family and baby Trig. And promises the parents of special needs kids they will have an advocate in the White House.
9:36pm - Standing ovation for Palin’s son Track, who is in attendance, and going off to Iraq next month.
9:35pm - Palin is very conservatively dressed and appears extremely calm.
Kind of man she wants as commander in chief leading her son (who is going to Iraq) into battle.
9:34pm - “There is a time for politics and a time for leadership.”
9:33pm - Good start for Palin. She basically calls out Obama and Biden as a small challenge compared to what McCain has been through in his past. She starts right into McCain being down and out last summer, sticking with the surge in Iraq, and his comeback to get the nomination.
9:32pm - And she begins by accepting the nomination for Vice President of the United States and the crowd erupts once again.
9:31pm - The ovation continues!
9:30pm - Still giving her a standing ovation. Surely this will die down in a bit.
9:29pm - And here she is……Mrs. America!
The conservatives are going nuts!
9:24pm - Good ole’ boy Rudy Giuliani is firing up the speech with a full on attack of Barack Obama. He is lambasting Palin’s experience over that of both Obama and Joe Biden. Hopefully he is about to wind down so we can get to the good stuff soon.
9:20pm CST - A lot of excitement and anticipation leading up to Palin’s speech, which is now just minutes away.

Nice job blogging…that cannot be easy to do by the way. I thought Palin hit a “Big Papi” sized HR. I think it is funny that the left say they are glad McCain made this choice, but in reality they are nervous. I felt like I was watching Reagan up there last night. I loved the rant about needing smaller government. Palin has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to her taking down Biden in the debates.
