...Sarah Palin preaching to the choir (telling demonstrable lies) was a ratings hit. She came close to or reached the same number Barack Obama did last week. How many of those were morbidly curious Democrats, women who won't vote for her but still wanted to lay eyes on her or people wondering what this crazy newcomer would be like live, I dunno. But I would guess that nobody who hates Obama and would never vote for him watched his speech, known quantity that he is.
Meanwhile, Obama actually bumped upward on the national Gallup poll (which is not the same as the Electoral College, but still) in the final poll taken before her speech.
Maybe her strategy for the next 60 days will be to do literally no interviews and speak only directly to the people?
Oh, and Troopergate continues on in this explosive documentation of what really happened. She. Is. A. Bald-Faced. Liar:
I love how the news identifies the State Senator who is interviewed as being from "Arkansas." Someone better issue a memo that AK is not Arkansas!
