This morning on NPR, a guy was saying that there was a moment on the stage at McCain's concession speech that Palin started to go to the mic

without a speech or permission, and that that could very well be remembered as the moment that her political career came to an end.

The googles have nothing in this vein; has anybody heard or read anything further on this?

Who or what stopped her? Did she stop herself? Or somebody off stage screaming at her -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 08:42 1
- She remembered that being runner-up was not going to do her any good. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 08:57
I did not see her approach the mic. - ty97 Nov 6, 08:38 5

I don't recall that, but have read that she did have her own speech ready but wasn't allowed to. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 08:38
I would imagine there is youtube video of the concession speech if you want to check it out yourself. - David Nov 6, 08:34 4
- I don't think the commentator is going by what was seen on televsion, though. I assume he was there. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 08:39 2
  - Did you hear him? I have to confess that I was playing video-games and so may have slightly misunderstood what he was saying. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 6, 08:41 1
