I haven't watched the speech yet... about to. She said nothing too specific on policy, trashed the dems, and the audience loved her... sounds about right... anything to help get the repub party all on the same page with a "non-spending" message, I'm good with, despite my reservations on her competence.
Well, you had to expect there would be some sort of controversy coming out of this speech, right?

Did Palin write the answers to Tea Party Convention questions on her hand?
Tonight, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin spoke to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN, an event that was ditched by other high-profile Republicans who disliked its for-profit model. After her speech, organizer Judson Phillips asked Palin several questions. One of them was about what needs to be done when there is a “conservative House and a conservative Senate.” Palin jumped right in and said, “We’ve got to rein in the spending, obviously.” However, she then seemed to forget her next talking point and glanced down at her left hand, as if there were notes she had scribbled down. She went on to talk about “energy projects.” Watch it: (video at link)
