Last night after the remarkable speech by Sarah Palin, all the pundits on "conservative" Fox News kept saying her speech was written for her, but she delivered it well. Am I missing something here? I don't recall anyone saying that Obama's speech was written for  him, or that any other speaker at any either of the conventions had their speeches written for them. All I recall is the awe from the pundits at Obama's sensational speech that said nothing about what he is really going to do. Saying I'm going to fix your problems isn't a real policy.

It would be my guess that all those people who show up on the Washington talk circuit with "former so and so's speechwriter" might indicate that all Presidents and candidates have speech writers. Why was it so important to mention that her speech was written?

Sarah Palin probably did have input into her speech, just as any candidate or President does. I'm sure she said, "I really like that", "no way am I going to say that", "that's just not me", or "put something in there about this issue".

Is this a way to degrade the very, very impressive performance from this "inexperienced", small town mayor? Was the media so taken aback by her performance, they had to immediate rationalize how it was possible? I think the explanation is this is one tough woman, and I for one must say...

GREAT JOB GOVERNOR PALIN! GREAT JOB.
