My Predictions

How many times will Sarah Palin mention Hillary Clinton in her RNC speech?

Settled as She does not mention Hillary

Hillary was not mentioned
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/09/sarah_palin_gop_convention_spe.html

Background:

Many are calling John McCain's nomination of Sarah Palin a political ploy designed to snare disaffected Hillary supporters. In fact, during her initial welcome speech she mentioned Hillary several times. Will she continue to actively court Hillary fans, or will she use this prime time coverage to solidify her own image to voters?

How many times will Sarah mention Hillary during her prime time RNC speech? "Hillary", "Senator Clinton", "Hillary Clinton", etc will all count.

I cant possibly imagine how hilliary would make her way into her speech. I do know that I'm sure he will want to attract the female vote so reminding the voters of another female who supports Obama may not be the best idea for them.
