From the Republican National Committee:

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – This evening U.S. Sen. John McCain will accept the Republican Party’s nomination for President of the United States. Excerpts from Sen. McCain’s acceptance speech, as prepared for delivery, are below.

On running mate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin:

“I’m very proud to have introduced our next Vice President to the country. But I can’t wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big spending, do nothing, me first, country second Washington crowd: change is coming.”

On solving problems in Washington:

“The constant partisan rancor that stops us from solving these problems isn’t a cause, it’s a symptom. It’s what happens when people go to Washington to work for themselves and not you.

Again and again, I’ve worked with members of both parties to fix problems that need to be fixed. That’s how I will govern as President. I will reach out my hand to anyone to help me get this country moving again. I have that record and the scars to prove it. Senator Obama does not.”

On love of country:

“I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency; for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn’t my own man anymore. I was my country’s.”

From Matt Drudge:

TV VIEWERS FOR PALIN, 10 PM ET

• FOXNEWS 9,038,000
• NBC 7,720,000
• CNN 6,114,000
• ABC 5,050,000
• CBS 4,630,000
• MSNBC 3,277,000

37,244,000 watched the Sarah Palin speech last night and Fox News reports that 19.5 million of that number were women.

As a contrast: 38,379,000 folks watched Barack Obama the previous week.

And, Obama was covered on 10 television networks and Sarah Palin ONLY on 6.

The Sarah Palin speech generated 37.2 million viewers, just 1.1 million viewers short of Barack Obama’s record-breaking speech on Day 4 of the Democratic Convention. The Palin speech was carried on only six networks while the Obama speech was carried on ten (including BET, TV One, Univision and Telemundo).

Good ol’ Slow Joe Biden sticks his foot in his mouth again. The RNC has reset the Biden Gaffe Clock.

The poor staffers of the RNC website – they will be kept busy.

Remember just a day ago when US had this Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome coverpage:

This RNC video was booted off the program last night because Rudy Giuliani ran long (which judging by the applause is understandable).

It will be played tonight at the Republican National Convention.

Here we go – more Palin Derangement Syndrome by the Left. This time it is the California Left.

Hummmmm let’s see Patronizing? Sexist? Amazingly Insensitive? Just Plain Silly? Racist?

Fill in your own blanks.
