A+ For Palin Speech From Image Consultant

Body Language Expert Joe Navarro Says She Was "Terrific," "Strong," "Affirmative"

(CBS)  All eyes were on Sarah Palin Wednesday night when she delivered the biggest address of her political career at the Republican National Convention.

How did the GOP vice presidential nominee handle her defining moment?

Political imagery consultant and body language expert Joe Navarro, author of "What Every Body Is Saying," raved about Palin's performance to Harry Smith on The Early Show Thursday.

Navarro said, "I thought she did terrific. ... She was strong, she was affirmative. She had command of the theater. Totally comfortable. Nice, strong jaw. Good pointing gestures. She looked like a CEO. Terrific appearance."

Not only that, said Navarro, Palin had "very nice facial gestures that emphasized what's important, what she feels strongly about. She almost had the look of 'Bring it on.' How many times have we had someone like that who's not afraid, who sticks that jaw out, who is basically saying, 'I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared of anything that's coming my way.' And everything about her says, 'I'm sharp. I'm focused. I'm on top of things.' "

And from there, Navarro's glowing review just continued.

I thought Sarah Palin was too aggressive and sarcastic in her speech. Which means Sarah is a bit immature for the Vice Presidency role and certainly for the Presidential role.

I LOVE Palin...As an independent voter who was not thrilled with either candidate (Obama is bought by corrupt Chicago gangsters and McCain is hard to figure), I have now decided to swing my vote to McCain due to his EXCELLENT VP choice. I may not agree with everything she believes in, but I can appreciate a strong woman who has actually brought real change to her state. INDEPENDENT WOMEN FOR PALIN!!!!

Iwas a Hillery suporter and I cand tell you we need a Prisident with the background to run this country.. Obama is not the one. Sarah was right. I will support McCain and now campain for him... By the way I''m a Democrat of many years. If you think it''s about race don''t even go their . Its about a man who knows what we need and it''s more then pretty talk and changing their platform every week. McCain knows what it will take to CHANGE

Palins speech was fully rehearsed and prompted by McCain''s staff. She reminded me of the girls in high school who would throw gum in girl''s hair.

HEY MITCH6544, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION GO BACK & READ BO''S SPEECH. IT WAS FULL OF HYPERBOLE AND I''M BEING POLITE. IF ANYONE IS REHEARSED IS BO. HE CAN''T ENGAGE IN A REAL DISCUSSION WITHOUT ''HUH, HUH, HUH'' & HE WAS A COLLEGE PROF., AND HE BELIEVES IN HIS IDEALS SO WELL THAT HE CAN''T ANSWER QUESTIONS DIRECTLY? GIVE YOURSELF AND THE COUNTRY A BREAK --- VOTE MCCAIN!
