I attended An Evening with Sarah Palin at the Austin Convention Center. It was presented by Heroic Media. It was fun - not just because I got to see and hear one of my favorite conservative gals, but I got to hang and chat with like-minded folks about issues I find exciting and engaging - politics, pro-baby rights and Sarah.I met some very lovely, smart and passionate ladies. There was a lady with her daughter who had come from San Antonio. She was Catholic and we discussed abortion and the various cliché and red herring arguments that the "pro-choice" crowd likes to use ad nauseam. I directed her to the Life Training Institute website because that site offers great arguments and debate strategies.
As for the speech itself, Gov. Rick Perry introduced Sarah. Truth be known, I am not a big fan of Rick Perry. There's just a certain je ne sais quoi about him that irks me to no end. It also doesn't help that he's an Aggie, and I don't like Aggies.
Sarah's speech was very thoughtful and funny. She's a very good speaker - personable and genuine. She clearly had a very real connection with the audience. The only negative of the whole evening - other than the pricey sandwiches - was the fact that we were not allowed to take pictures.
Any who, after her speech, there was a brief Q&A session with Palin, Perry and Raymond Arroyo. After about 15-20 minutes, Palin and Perry left the stage. Shortly thereafter, a lone (and obligatory) lefty protester got up - shouted some unintelligible blurbs - and was promptly escorted out of the building. I was too far away to hear exactly what she said, but I am pretty sure it was something like - "It was Bush's fault!"
