An interesting question is "Why not?". The apparent answer is "We've been contaminated by Texas." I dunno if that's the real answer though.

Looking back at Palin's speech, I think although it was well-done in terms of showmanship, it added no substance to the national dialogue, nor did it elevate the discussion. She glorified the role of the military and gave gilded boots to John McCain (despite his lack of executive experience). She demonstrated the best modern pit-bull techniques.

So now we've been introduced, and I am afraid (mostly because of her falsiofying her own track record) that despite the surface glitter of her performance, I am unimpressed, and do not believe she has anything to add to the merits of her party.
