Palin's small-town ways will play big across U.S.

Sarah Joan of Arc isn't as catchy as Sarah Barracuda, yet even so, the throng called for her to lead them, an unknown from the edge of nowhere, a woman with no experience in the great city of light.

A very nice article, Mr. Kass. Mrs. Palin is the real deal.

She knocked it out of the park! Sarah showed those good old boys that the girls can play too, and probably much better! And she sure made the case that she is far more qualified for the job than Obama is to be president. She's got brass ones. I like her for sure.

Not much for accurate facts is she?
Nice speach, but I think in the end it is a bridge to nowhere...

Great speech of Mrs Palin, poor article of Mr. Kass. Biased and shallow.

Kass, seriously - why is it okay for the media, Sara Palin, McCain and all the other GOPs to slam Obama and Biden, but it's not okay for them to be slammed in return? Give me a break. It's open season. Why is it okay for Obama to be called out for his experience, but not for Palin to be called out on hers? It's a double standard, and just because she's a woman doesn't mean she should get a free pass from the media scrutiny that ALL the candidates undergo. Not only that, Obama and Biden have been much, much nicer in their campaign than Palin or McCain have been. McCain's whole platform is to attack Obama, he presents no commentary on the issues because, as his adivsor said, the campaign is not about the issues ... yeah ...

BOO-YAH!!! Rudy loads the bases and Sarah cracks it out onto Waveland Avenue! Democrats are wetting their pants and the leftist media doesn't know what to do with the "Barracuda"!

OK, all you followers of the Messiah Barack, gin up your phony internet rumors, you can't touch this gal!

America knows character and it shined through Governor Palin tonight, YOU GO GIRL!, all the way to Blair House!(That's where the Vice President lives for all you "informed" BO supporters)

Kass is such a hypocrit and just cannot get himself to admit that Palin is far more corrupt than any democrat...she is attached to BIG OIL! She is 100% supported by BIG OIL and works for their interests, which is why she is in the position of governor.

Kass and Kass followers wake up! This is a typical corrupt Republican in Palin, who will continue to work for big oil at the expense of the public. She has no clue about the rest of the country and the rest of the world.

The last 8 years were run by an oil company. The Republicans have not changed. McCain now takes his orders from the oil lobby, and Palin is a complete work of the oil lobby.

I think we know what will happen to Sarah. The Obamacon bloggers and liberal websites will continue flooding the internet with disgusting and heartless rumors about Palin. One that still in circulation is that Palin actually faked her pregnancy.

Then of course, within days of these vile rumors, the MSM mentions these unfounded rumors and reprints them as speculation.

I can't for the life of me see any value in Obama with the exception of a commanding voice. As Guiliani correctly said, Obama is all style - Hollywood style.

He's smoke and mirrors. He has based his campaign theme solely on the criticisms of a lame duck president who has been dealt some bad hands (9/11, Katrina) and who had to make politically unpopular decisions.

Brilliant speech and very hard hitting so the people 'Get IT" about what the GOP has to offer. Now the DNC and media elite is ready to sink like the Titanic.

Time to throw the deck chairs into the water to float into good graces with the NEW GOP Voters.

I'm sorry to say, but as a life long republican and mother of 3, I'm going to be voting for Obama this time around. I'm sick of George Bush's politics. I was hopeful about Palin, but she just came off as a "bitch" to me -- excuse my language.
you had better do a little more research on Obama because if you family makes more than 42k you will be taxed more and gas is definetly going to be taxed at a higher level. Please make an informed choice before a judgemental choice.

Ummm..Duh, she has been called out on he experience, by the leftwing media for the last two days. Where have you been?

I think a govenor of a state with 660,000 people is a hell of a lot more experience then a community organizer and senator.

Opps, i forgot that obama said he had experience because he managed his campaign. I guess he thinks that's the same as running a state.

GOP LIES wrote:
Perhaps all you experts on "small town values" will explain the "values" Palin is expressing in the following instance:
"...The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician.... Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him...The Daily News opinion page addressed the governor's gaffe. They wrote "She came off looking immature herself, almost high-schoolish. It was conduct unbecoming a governor." It was conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor....
Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn't do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that's going too far."...Lester questioned Green's motherhood, asking Palin if the senator cares about her own kids. Palin laughs... He says, "Governor you can't say this but I will, Lyda Green is a cancer and a b----." Palin laughs for the second time....Lester then describes Green's chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator's weight. Palin laughs a third time. She's just having a grand old time.
Lester asks Palin point blank: "Do you have any idea of what you did, to make Lyda Green dislike you, hate you?" How does Palin respond? Does she do the right thing? What you would expect from a mature leader, a governor and say, "Bob, Lyda doesn't hate me." No, she responds like a 13-year-old and says, "Um, you know once and a while I try to figure that out but I can't figure that out."...
At the end of Lester making fun of Green as a mother, calling her a cancer, twice, and saying she has to go; after calling the senator a b----, making fun of her weight, and accusing Green of being jealous and hateful; after all of that, Lester ends the conversation offering to visit Palin.
How does Palin respond? "I'd be honored to have you."

Seems to me she would be universally considered a nasty piece of work by both small town and city dwellers. Do you have a different view?
Hey, GOP Lies, how did you get out of that strait jacket again?

Your handlers just phoned me to tell you there's an autographed Obama button back in your cell. Go get it. Hurry.

This woman is incredible. And Sasha? Sorry, whenever someone writes that they are a "lifelong republican", now voting for Obama, I automatically know that they are a dem in sheeps clothing. Any REAL Republican would be 100% behind this woman. She is stupendous. Most exciting speech I have ever seen, I'm 54 years old, and I call myself a 9/11 Republican, never really cared about politics until that horrible moment. After tonight, the only people voting for Obama are the idiots who believe all of the "hate Bush" mantras put out by our lovely media. And Kass? Tell Clarence Paige and the rest of the Trib staff their bias is evident. Sickening. Take a look at the front page the day after the Dems convention (Michelle Obama - full page photo - smiling - "The World As It Should Be") vs. the day after Repubs convention...Palins pregnant daughter, so damn obvious. We really aren't as stupid as you think we are.

It is about time people read through Obama with his smooth talk off the teleproms. What was said tonight from Rudy and Sarah is what we need. The protection of this country is very important to our country. You heard none of 9/11 or terrorists in the Democract convention.
As a Democract for 42 yrs. We are now voting for the person not the party.Obama has no EXPERIENCE
