NY Anti-Smoking Campaign Budget to be Slashed
Tonight is arguably the biggest night of the Republican National Convention, as it will be vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's first national campaign speech. Politico has five things to watch for, including how Palin will have to emphasize why she's experienced. Her aide said, "She will speak as a governor, a former mayor and someone with both hands on the steering wheel of America's energy economy. She will detail her record of shaking up the status quo in Alaska and standing up to entrenched interests to put the government back on the side of the people."
Hilariously, two Republican pundits were caught on live mic "bemoaning" the Palin pick. Per The Caucus, Peggy Noonan doesn't think she's the most qualified, "No. I think they went for the — excuse me — political (expletive) about narratives. … Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and that’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.” In another vein, the Washington Post has an article on the McCain camp's war against the media.
Also in prime time will be former mayor Rudy Giuliani, so expect lots of 9/11, America's darkest day, etc. Other speakers tonight are others who tried to win the Republican nomination: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

here's a bingo board for those playing along at home.
oh yes. can't wait to see this shitshow.
I think people talk about Giuliani talking about 9/11 more than Giuliani actually talks about 9/11.
Garbages all.

Palin has a nice set, btw.
nice to see mccain and company shielding the poor widdle kiddies from the evil sexist media.
what's wrong with Mccains fingers? they're sharp and pointy.
did the "gooks" do that to him? whom he hates.
Remember how high Guiliani was in the Presidential candidates polls a year ago -then slipped down to nothing after his questionable abilities were considered by the voters.
The Dems could have a field day with this if they chose to
Gee, any bets on how many times Goombajohhny will mention 9/11 in his speech??
I think I just saw a guy sleeping during mitt romney's speech.
Is this guy still seen as a tough guy? Funny thing, whenever I hear him with that lisp of his I just wanna give him a good beating...
OK, giuliani is saying mccain's been "tested" what the heck does that mean?

prostate, cholesterol, the whole nine yards.
well, G. just pulled out the old neuff-un-un.
but the real heroes tonight are bristol and levi - i am so inspired every time they are on camera. those two brave teenagers skillfully eluded their parent's supervision and fucked - they, my friends, are the true mavericks here. i will be writing in my vote for them this november - who better to lead this great country, really.
cindy just mouthed "how dare they" following ghouliani's lead.
Rudy should be down at Duke trying to get his
chip off the old block back on the Golf Team...
Rudy its a Cinderfella Story
When will Rudy's scare tactics end? It's completely disrespectful to the incident.
I've never seen a group of people so full of hate as I have at this convention and I grew up in KKK land.
and such a classy bunch.
the gloves better be off with all of palin's snide remarks.
Sarah Palin's speech was pretty good for her campaign for Alaska Governor -what? She's running for what?
This convention is a total shitshow. I watch for a few minutes but then invariably have to turn it off. Who are these people?
chuzzlewit's funny. i'll bet that marriage lasts 3 years. my, isn't that bitchy of me?
don't, you have to listen to more of this.
I felt like I was listening to the New Fascists. Giuliani's a nasty old man. Palin delivered her speech well, but here's my take away:
a) Vote for McCain because he's a POW and obviously loves his country more than the Democrats
b) Obama's not like us and really hasn't done anything of substance
c) I'm just like you and I'm tough, so don't mess with me
d) Did I mention that McCain was a war hero?
that massive screen behind the podium is straight out of 1984.
i'll take zeus over big brother any day.
was anyone else troubled by this line from guiliani:
"I learned as a trial lawyer a long time ago, if you don't have the facts, you've got to change them."
palin's daughter, tho beefy by being preggo, is/was def hot.
I'm guessing they made the hockey puck an offer he couldn't refuse to (publicly) agree to get married.
Her son gets the I.E.D., her daughter doesn't get an I.U.D. Welcome to Republiland.
Judith Nathan for President!!
