Palin's teleprompter broke: speech was from memory
http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/sep/04/breaking-sarah-palin-winged-her-speech-bec/
Halfway through Sarah Palin's speech tonight at the RNC, people following the speech noticed she was deviating from the prepared text.
According to sources close to the McCain campaign, the teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Governor Palin was in the speech. The malfunction also occurred during Rudy Giuliani's speech, explaining his significant deviations from his speech.
Unfazed, Governor Palin continued, from memory, to deliver her speech without the teleprompter cued to the appropriate point in her speech.
Contrast this to Barack Obama who, when last his teleprompter malfunctioned, was left stuttering before a crowd unable to advance his speech until the problem was resolved.
Sarah Palin. Winner.

I think we can surmise why he doesn't want to do town hall debates with McCain. He knows he'd get his butt kicked. He's a coward.

I beleive she had cue cards. I did see her shuffling papers while she was speaking. If you want to see Obama without a teleprompter, just look it up on youtube. Dont worry wahooo, ill oblige you with a clip this afternoon of Obama stumbling all over himself.

He doesn't do very well when he doesn't have a teleprompter...

p.s. at the end does he not say that he can't hear himself? technological malfunction doesn't mean the teleprompter isn't working. Try speaking to a gathering of thousands and suddenly not being able to hear the words coming out of your mouth, I doubt its something that's easy to do

Seriously? Have no not seen Obama without a teleprompter? The guy stutters constantly, not to mention all the "um, um, um, um." Dude, go find you're own clip, if you can't recall a moment that Obama was off telepromter and stuttering like an idiot than you haven't been paying attention. Have a nice day.
