Title: Tolman and Gray: Palin Speech

" And politics but we're going to the Beacon Hill studio as Beacon Hill studios come -- moment an attorney with -- night. And BB filling in for rob gray who is actually at the RNC. Both here in the studio good to have you both here and -- extravagance that place. That's a -- it's a pleasure he could do -- Last night and we've already heard you speak some give warrant an applicant -- a lot of good to talk a little minutes to break this is that Greg Zanetti. And talk a little bit about -- an opulent what you thought about the governor's."

" So I thought she delivered very very good speech she did a nice job with it. -- Frankly I've rarely seen -- moment on the national stage where expectations are so low. Short of belching and coming out firing a pistol by mean anything above that she was going to exceed expectations and she did is no question what. She did very well. What I didn't like I thought she was a little bit. Tough work like to have seen a little bit more policy oriented focus talk about the economy which is on everybody's mind here in in how she's going to differ from the the bush Cheney policies over the next four years for John McCain. I was disappointing not to hearing discussion about that in and sort of mention of the PTA -- really talk about education -- didn't talk about health -- also. Short on some substance. Obviously she is support people she she she delivered that line very well -- can be and I were talking earlier. And and and she comes across is a pretty good it. --"

" That's why you didn't hear that stuff she did mention her sister were open area. A gas station -- out of -- Obama's policy going to help her but her job isn't to set policy. That's a McCain -- talk about McCain's going to do that in her job is to pump up McCain which she did. Here's the substance and -- the other guy which is Barack which she did she did exactly vice president supposed to do. And she proved she belongs which was her number one priority last night because. The media had such that she didn't belong she was going to be a big prompt some in the media were calling part of stepped down before she even delivered the speech that's so crazy to gotten. She shut all those people up last assignments."

" Well if I work won her advisers and I'm not. What if if she -- going on the national stage she's been on the national since all of five days. It for her to go and attack Obama and Biden been on the national stage -- for certainly at least eighteen months and Barack Obama's case. It's a very very. Worrisome thing as a if I were Republican parson for her to quote. Whacking people when she hasn't established her own credibility and that's an issue of concern because she has some issues so they're that it that the trooper issue -- with her brother in law. Is a major issue that made it --"

" And I remember hearing when it. Let me throw this in no doubt about that don't you think that part of developing her credibility was that she had become mountain top she wouldn't -- little Annie Oakley from collapse."

" Solely but I would like to see a little bit of policy thrown in the hearing -- she can talk about policy she could talk what what she's done as governor of Alaska or whatever and Howard wrote. What she do when a public education in Alaska and how it relates to what she's going to do. With John McCain is as fortunate that you want to talk and terms of policy must there was a big up to --"

" Of this policy her cutting spending up in Alaska. Her giving tax rebates to people last in the issue of gas prices up. Her talking about drilling in Alaska which -- Knowles them about that wasn't policy. That was energy policy was an education was an economist at about what has to help and what things we need to do to help out the little guys. She and that is -- the vice president she she had three lines -- in the 25 minutes what are you haven't voted yet. I'll give it a B minus. Managing going to be an idea what hurts -- you -- him -- Rocks almost home during all right I need."

" Okay let's let's change gears now and talk about what has happened tonight John McCain now going to step up and he's got to step up behind her and everybody's talking about heard -- so. --"

" Not. That these conventions everything set up -- targets grew up even John Kerry delivered convention speech. That's how easy it is in this is corporate entities that the -- war. He can say I told you to it was a bad -- listen and look what happened I told you the surge would that would work Lewis and look what happened I look I you can trust because I agree that decisions and I've been worn out whenever you like you're a lawyer. We have the facts we do. Accidentally and."

" I on this one I agree with John McCain he's going to give a perfect picture John McCain can deliver a terrific speech and he will he he is a genuine American hero. And he's got a lot to talk about lot of which he can be proud. What he's going to do when he's going to distance himself from the from the bush Cheney policies of the last eight years and talk about how he's going to be different. We won't hear about record deficits and you know what's that we won't hear a lot of booked. Gun laws and elect we won't hear a boat a lot about energy. Conservation -- the -- and there's a lot of things were not going to hear about what we are going to hear. -- what John McCain and surveillance vision is and how it differs from from a Barack Obama's -- to a five no doubt."

" Probably not going to hear a lot about that McCain immigration bill though although both buildings playing to the Republican nominee a lot of are getting cut oil from the -- Clinton."

" If we don't want to talk a little bit about Barack Obama he's going to be with Bill O'Reilly tonight first time he's ever done that. And he's doing this on the night that John McCain is going to speak at the convention some said that you know because any such a big deal about the vice presidential pick last week right there were trying to take the thunder away from the Democrats. So if it is that what he's doing tonight and how to -- 'cause it's --"

" He's got played pretty well I mean this is an old proposition for Barack Obama. He goes on there short of drooling on himself he's going to be in the lion's den and you know frankly it with with Phil Reilly. He'll back off a little bit oh when when he's one on one with an individual and Barack Obama ours where every -- dislike about him. He can he can he can he's very eloquent and very passionate and I think he'll fare very well and in -- the audience. Is not something that's going to be Iraq pointers who has little rules."

" A weird fixation with people losing bodily functions. Where she was going to be approaching now -- of ruling what's. She wasn't built in good -- for adults are. Under. -- hurt what you would in the interview we're. This is going to steal some of the luster as the -- No question about it should be one sport is -- he's a television -- that's all the conventions are. And that's what the Obama leads and it's smart it's good it's going to take a little bit in the way. But not all that much like the vice president in. -- Obama and -- week from. And obviously it's clean and start again."

" Unless there's a major -- you know if if Barack Obama's marketable. Invading Poland currently controls would users and one debate teammates one of those gaps or some -- those that's a problem but short of -- serious. Mistake like that. On would we go that was in a prediction no outlook -- it was just for the record we're going to. Get Obama on the record ago when he's going to happen exactly Gibson's -- is it's on the record -- twenty more -- they."
