Overall a very good speech. A couple of slip ups but nothing too serious. I am very impressed by the way she spoke, and how confident she was in front of all those people. She almost seemed at home on the stage. Their is no doubt in my mind that she will help McCain win the Conservative base. Which was not a sure thing until tonight. I believe they are now sold on her. What sells her to the conservatives is a deterrent to Independents and Democrats. She has some very conservative view points, that will turn many moderates off, myself included. Giving a great speech is not a qualification to be a VP. She is still unproven in national politics. In the end, I am not sure if she will help win many independents or moderate women over to McCain ticket. Now she will have to shine in the debates with Biden, and in media circuit. She does not have as much to prove, but still has to live up to the expectations put on her by this speech.
