Sarah Palin will direct a few barbs at Barack Obama

Based on a few excerpts made available from Sarah Palin's much-anticipated speech tonight to the Republican National Convention, she seems ready to give as good as she's been getting since her selection as John McCain's running mate.

Referring to questions about her readiness for the national stage, she says in her prepared remarks:

Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.

Barack Obama, of course, has made much during his chase for the White House of his background as a community organizer in Chicago.

And then there's this passage, clearly aimed at Obama:

Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.

I'm a bit worried about the McCain/Palin energy policy. (Especially drilling in ANWR) I think that one of the best things we can do is support 'green' business. For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.

IA am very interested in the issue about the firing of her relative and anything else that might be in her closet. I beleive this is just another ploy to get the republicans back in to the White house to ruin the country for another four years as they have for the last eight years. down with McBush.

Their speechwriters must have spent all week working on that one. They're so smart and learned with their non-European ideas.

I think Obama's campaign (which has a bigger budget and more people then her staff) and has shown more organization than our President can muster.

Sarah Palin did a pretty good left hook to Obama. It's true that Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama. Obama was indecisive, lack of experience to govern, no executive job, never run a town, a city or a state. In this dangerous world..... there's no time for ... on the job training for Presidient. I'm Democrats, but let's switch party and vote John MCCain. Come Join us!!! JOHN MCCAIN POWER!!!
