Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech at the Republican convention last night. Last week 38 million people watched Obama give his acceptance speech. According to one report I saw, the estimate for those watching Palin was 37.1 million, by far the most to ever watch a VP acceptance speech. I thought the speech was impressive. I noticed that she started referring to her notes about half way through the speech, and it turns out that the teleprompter failed as I suspected. So, she did even better in the speech than the audience realized. Here is a view from across the pond, some of what Fergus Shanahan wrote in the London Sun:

"Democrats and their Lefty media backers had been sneering that she was a small town nobody, a hick from the Alaskan sticks put into a job way beyond an inexperienced woman.

Believe me, you will not be hearing that again.

Palin turned out to be an electrifying mix of intelligence, passion, energy, optimism and plain speaking. ..."
