LinkedIn is cool... I have reconnected with a lot of old coworkers and even old lost friends that way. And it's very handy after having switched employers to keep track of what my old teammates are doing now. Also very good for finding leads on new jobs if you build up your network. I think it is a cool tool. - Lindsay Donaghe

How lame, that we, the American people, need to wait until Palin's handlers have her "ready" for prime time.

This "when and if" crap is just that: a stinky, soiled diaper. - Scott Jarkoff

Leo is being conservative. - peterbokunet

She's made some points I agree with, but overall, she doesn't seem very inspiring - Ian May

I don't see it. They seem uninspired compared to other times. The rhetoric is more bland. - Dean Terry

There's nothing compelling coming out of Palin.. if anything all I'm hearing is baseless shallow attacks and cliches. - Victor Trac

You must be joking. - Jeff Jones

There will be a "bounce" but the battle has just begun... - Live4Soccer

She's playing to her base, that's all. - Tony Hung

They lost my vote tonight. Only heard attacks for 2 days and no plans. - LPH™

i think you are in the minority on that conclusion - Shannon Carver via Alert Thingy

I like their plan for the economy better than Obama's promise to help me buy a new car. - Charles LePage

I guess everyone missed the DNC speeches... - Brian Newman

I'm sorry, I think Leo is right. Those speeches weren't aimed at us... The majority of FF I assume is left leaning and this type of event would not resonate with us. But to the middle and right, if it doesn't acquire new support, it would have certainly solidified and reassured some doubters in the RNC - John Worthington

4 more year of the same. Seems like its Bush/Mccain/Palin for 2009 - PC Easy via twhirl

Yep, very conservative. - Tim Davis via twhirl

Sarah Palin just gave the best speech of the entire elections season, so far. ^^ - pitlord via twhirl

She did a great job tonight. I still won't vote for McCain, but I agreed with some things she said. - Molly, the Muse

And let's not forget, Obama spent 1/3 to 1/2 of his speech attacking McCain and Bush. Obama wants to practice the old politics and the new politics, however one defines them, at the same time. I'm eager to see if McCain can present himself as authentically as Palin did tonight. - Charles LePage

Palin sounded like she was running for small town Mayor not VP tonight. Nothing of substance, nothing of interest and certainly nothing new. - Jeff Jones

I haven't seen the speech. That said, I find everyone's surprise that she gave a good one pretty surprising. This is a presidential election - they have speech writers you know! - mattpovey

Palin seemed a bit out of her depth, that was the impression that came across to me - Ian May

I find 'war hero, war hero, war hero' far from inspiring...but i guess some do... - aka Taylor

That a boy Leo - you're finally recognizing the Truth... - Neil Bakker

After tonight the Obama tact of "more of Bush" is going to look even more foolish. But it seem that running against Bush has been the whole of the DNC plan for the last 8 years - Robert Hafer

The Republicans liked her speech? What a surprise. They all have smiles chiseled into their faces. Remember, these are the people who thought GW Bush would be a great president. - Rod Bauer via twhirl

are you kidding me Leo? Petty attacks, red meat for the base. Without independants they loose and tonight was all about the base - David Jacobs via twhirl

Rod.. yes, but Bush won 2 terms. What I think Leo is trying to say is this is no longer just a slam dunk for Obama... some work still needs to be done - John Worthington

the hilarious thing is how we all sway with the latest information...looking back at old feeds and tweets from after Obama's speech you'd think the Republicans should just throw in the towel. My personal opinion is that the Republicans were down 8pts and Palin *had* to make her two free throws. If she missed, it would be game over now...she made em, so now we keep playing... - George Lee via twhirl

They've gained more like 10 points in their own mirror Leo! - Roney Smith

@georgelee That's a smart way to look at this. There's a lot of time left before November, and more battles to be fought. - Todd Mundt

As someone who loved Palin's speech, the Republicans gained one point at most. No minds were changed by Palin's speech, so the only movement might have been within the undecided ranks. - Ontario Emperor

I've actually seen low-bit porn. When I had a Commodore 64, there was a 'demo' that was just a couple of looped seconds of digitized grayscale penetration.
