Palin Teleprompter Problems: Broken Teleprompter for Sarah Palin at RNC?

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?
