I heard two networks like CBS and NBC didn't show Thompson's speech last night. They probably won't show Palin's tonight

she's already given a speech, her introduction speech on friday. Its on the web everybody saw it and I can assure you- IT WAS WELL REHEARSED, and it included some of this corruption fighting exaggeration which she apparently thought she could get away with (but now cannot). And here is the reaction from the pollsters to her intro speech: The second Focus Group is on Sarah Palin. (You can watch the whole thing for yourself on CSPAN.org. It's on the front page under Recent Programs. It says AARP Focus Group.) The Sarah Palin stuff starts after about an hour and 5 minutes. The reaction to her from a group on undecided voters was OVERWHELMINGLY negative. This is actually similar to the Rasmussen poll which found that among undecided voters, Sarah was overwhelmingly a negative for Mccain. In this room people expressed the same concerns that we have. That Mccain is old and she is too inexperienced. That they like her but don't think she's ready to be President. When they watched her speech, they had dials set up to record their reactions to her every sentence. And the only thing that made a good impression was the assertion that she fought the "Bridge to Nowhere" which was false, we know now. Several said they had been planning to vote for Mccain and would be changing their votes. One said that Sarah was too fundamentalist, whereas they had thought Mccain was a moderate. Again, Sarah makes conservatives really happy but she completely turned Undecided folks off from Mccain.
