She will do fine. She is just learning how far she can push. We all do that here, don't we?

Overall, her speech was something to get emotional about, IMO.

LOL! I did notice, like as in church, they were listening intently and then would respond. On that one occasion, I felt they didn't want to go that far with her.

We don't like when women get snitty, do we? And Renda says, "Amen, girl. I know exactly what you mean." LOL

Re: McCain's Speech Tonight!

I wonder how the TelePrompTer is going to work for McCain tonight

They are saying he would be better off the cuff anyway.

I really have a hard time thinking they didn't want to agree with her - these guys cut each other down all the time. I honestly think they were trying to figure out what she was talking about - splitting the waters.

What's bad though, they would say what she said is snitty, but accept it from a guy.

Oh, I didnt think it was that bad but you may have a point, others may not have like it.-I agree though, I dont think people like it when women get "snitty".

There will always be a double standard. A woman can not get away with what a man can.

She has to do it with a velvet glove- (I dont know it rather makes me gag to think we have to be a Mary Poppins)
