Did the teleprompter malfunction for Sarah Palin during the biggest speech of her life at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota on Wednesday? There are reports that the teleprompter was broken while she was trying to deliver her historic address during a primetime speech on Wednesday night. National Review Online's Greg Pollowitz writes at the Media Blog that MSNBC is reporting that there were teleprompter issues for Sarah Palin.

There were also reports of problems with the same teleprompter for Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City. Rudy Giuliani delivered a fantastic and rousing speech that was well received by the partisan crowd. There are varying reports that the teleprompter was not set up correctly.

In fact, Rudy Giuliani went on so long a video that would introduce Sarah Palin had to be pulled and she went on right after Rudy Giuliani exited the stage. The crowd loved her and when CNN went to a batch of their Democratic critics, all three said sarcastically that she proved nothing more than she could read a teleprompter.

The reports today from MSNBC certainly make that talking point seem like a big miss. Did Sarah Palin deliver the goods on Wednesday night?
