    Has anyone's opinions changed after hearing her speech last night?

    No, I have not changed my opinion but I did think she did well last night. The only weirdness, I thought, was parading out her daughters boyfriend. Sort of saying 'Oh yes, and here is the wonderful young man who knocked up our daughter' - it was just weird. I might add I thought he looked very uncomfortable. Other than that though I thought she was a good speaker.

    I agree with TBS Fanatic. Overall good, but the boyfriend moment was weird.

    Some articles are now calling him her fiance.

    I thought she did great, too, other than the boyfriend moment.

    I was VERY impressed by her speech. Regarding the boyfriend: Palin is really in a bind there. Anything she does is going to earn criticism. She could've ignored him and not included him, but I think having him there shows that regardless of the timing of the pregnancy, they love each other and are planning to stay together and raise their baby.

    That's true. If she hadn't shown him, you know there'd be people out there saying "What, is she ashamed of the father of her grandchild?!" There's always something.

    Just something silly that was sent to me. Where do these people come up with this stuff? They don't seem to take anything in politics seriously and both parties get bashed pretty good here.
