Here is the full transcript just in case there are any doubts
Chuck Todd: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we’ll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We’ll find out on your blackberry. Tonight voters will get their chance to hear from Sarah Palin and she will get the chance to show voters she’s the right woman for the job Up next, one man who’s already convinced and he’ll us why Gov. Jon Huntsman. (cut away)
Peggy Noonan: Yeah
Mike Murphy: You know, because I come out of the blue swing state governor world: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush. I mean, these guys — this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up. And it’s not gonna work. And –
PN: It’s over.
MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.
CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.
PN: Saw Kay this morning.
CT: Yeah, she’s never looked comfortable about this –
MM: They’re all bummed out.
CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?
PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this — excuse me– political BS about narratives –
CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.
MM: I totally agree.
PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.
MM: You know what’s really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.
CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.
MM: Yeah.
Peggy Noonan:Noonan is now an author, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, and a commentator on broadcast and cable television news shows. She remains a Reagan-style conservative

Thanks for the transcript, I heard it and missed some of what was being said.
So they know the truth.
And after her speech it was abundantly clear. America is starving and they served up a Happy Meal.
No news here. There are many Republicans who aren’t happy with McCain’s decision, though the opinion of 3 political commentators don’t speak for the majority who believe she’s a great choice.
Personally, I believe there were at least 3 better qualified candidates than Palin, but she has a better chance of appealing to more people than Biden.
Even though I am a registered voting Democrat , Kay Bailey Hutchinson Helped me personally with with my disabled Veteran Husbands case with the VA . He was paralyzed from the neck down and could not even speak. She is a decent Hard working Republican Woman. This is one example of how anti Veteran McCain really is . Especially when it comes to disabled veterans. To not pick Kay Hutchinson as VP and pick former beauty Queen Palin also shows how twisted McCain really is.
