Why was there no "Sarah Palin Intro Video"

[jberryhill]

I read elsewhere the Ghouliani went "too long" so they "cut" the intro video.

That makes no sense to me.

"Too long" for what? Was this a football game with time running out in the quarter? Even football games, though, exceed their duly appointed time slots.

What difference was a few minutes going to make?

Nobody knows this person, so the intro video would have been a good way to say "Here is who she is."

I have two theories:

1. They couldn't make one. She was flown in from AK when picked, and they couldn't make "at home" testimonials, or rummage through the family album.

or

2. They did make one, but then couldn't be confident of any of the facts in it.

But "Giuliani went too long" doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

1. It was shown last night.

Remember? "Mother. Moosehunter. Maverick."

4. As an aside, did you recognize the narrator's voice?

2. They palyed it before Mcpow's speech, really out of place and

haphazardly.

3. They were on a tight timeline to keep her speech in primetime

so because Giuliani ran long, they didn't show it. They showed it last night instead.

5. I didn't see it...

But I heard a Republican on the radio this morning saying that it really wasn't that good.

6. They had to drop it because Giuliani wouldn't shut the fuck up.

When egos collide...

7. Rudy did go overtime. They showed it last night as mentioned above.

They wanted her speech to hit prime coverage time, not the video, since Rudy ran over.

8. A lot of folks said he ad libbed a lot of his speech because of the crowd...

Anyone want to take bets on how pissed Palin was over it?

Oh, and facts are something the GOP cares little about.
