Summary of Palin's talk

I thought it was inspiring and practical; where do you hear politicians talking about these things, rather than just political spin? Although her voice is annoying at times (needs to come down, not so high pitched when she raises it), the content of her speech was excellent, hard-hitting and, huh, progressive in the sense that we need to clean up the mess that is Washington and its policies. There was nothing gratuitous here, only practical advice. Go here for NRO's summary. It's pretty good: 
Palin also called for more open dialogue about God in America during a question-and-answer session following the speech. “America’s spirit,” she said, can “rise again by not being afraid to kind of go back to some of our roots as a God-fearing nation where we're not afraid to say — especially in times of potential trouble in the future — you know, we don’t have all the answers. As fallible men and women, it would be wise of us to start seeking some divine intervention again in this country, so that we can be safe and secure and prosperous again.” The country, she said, needs politicians unafraid “to go that route, not so afraid of the political correctness . . . to proclaim their alliance to our Creator.”Andrew Breitbart, the founder of BigGovernment.com, introduced Palin. Her remarks were carried live by C-SPAN and all three major cable-news networks and covered by 240 journalists at the convention hall. When Palin bounded onto the stage, and when she left it, chants of “Run, Sarah, Run” could be heard throughout the audience. On her lapel, Palin wore a small pin with two flags — for Israel and the United States.
