4. Sarah Palin: Out of the park speech. After the three previous speakers she knocked a grand slam. The McCain/republican staffers around the hall were trying to to cut off the cheering to get on with the speech (to get more of it into prime time--very hard task as people were in a frenzy of cheering yelling and support.
