For those that watched the RNC on the final night with McCain, apparently when he was talking about the military and how his presidency would aid it, you may recall that there was a somewhat confusing picture of a white building with absolutely no relevance to that portion of his talk. Apparently, the picture was of a North Hollywood High School in the suburb of Los Angeles called Walter Reed Middle School. It appears that his campaign staff may have originally wanted a picture of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center located in Silver Spring, Maryland, as the actual backdrop for his military portion of his speech, but no one realized the mistake!

Yeah it was a glitch they said they tried to avoid since his last speech in 2004 where the green background made him look like a idiot. Well guess what. It cam back to get him again, the green background that is.

gee, I thought it was one of his houses

Production wise it was a mess. Those colors in back of the speaker just didn't work, the music was cued badly, the crowd was poorly staged, real amateur stuff. With exception of the prompter it was so bad I wonder if it was on purpose because I can't imagine any pro doing that on accident.

Hemond said:There were some other more serious goofs with the TelePrompter. I've read that the text was way out of sync with both Palin and Giuliani. Both speakers had to "wing it" so to speak. Giuliani was forced to do some fast ad libbing and Palin pretty much recited the whole thing from memory with some ad libs tossed in. Her one liner about the difference between a bulldog and hockey mom - lipstick, was pure ad libbing.

What a spot to be in. Most important speech of your life and the TePrompt fails. Whats up with the guys running that machine?They're probably the same goofs who did "the google" on "Walter Reed".

Showed that Palin has some substance to her, which the dems are desperately trying to convince themselves otherwise.

So....they were suppose to show a Medical Center, but instead they showed a high school that was really a middle school? Crazy!!!
