Sarah Palin: Preparing for Prime Time

The Governor of Alaska has been under wraps and under intense preparation for tonight's address to the convention and the rest of the world. A former aide to President Bush says she'll either be "a wild success or a spectacular failure." We hear more of her path to the vice presidential nomination and about last night's speech by the Democrats' former nominee, Joe Lieberman. What are the themes of John McCain's convention? What about the economy? What about George W. Bush, who got eight minutes of the delegates' time?
