Everyone watching both conventions…

…will have seen nicely done video biographies of the major candidates for president and vice-president.

Except the one for Sarah Palin. The RNC has been keeping up with changes on the fly ever since it opened on the day the Gulf Coast was threatened with a major hurricane. One of those last minute changes was the abrupt need to drop the video bio after earlier speeches ran long and backed up the evening. The applause had barely settled after Rudy Giuliani spoke - and the analysts in their news booths were just starting to discuss it - when vice-presidential candidate Palin simply walked out on stage and headed for the podium, startling everyone. She’s the one candidate who didn’t benefit from the buildup of a specially-prepared video.

The RNC released it today. Here it is.
