Palin prepares to introduce herself to the nation

ST. PAUL, MN (AP) - Sarah Palin spent about 10 minutes on stage Wednesday morning, walking through the speech she'll make when she accepts the GOP's nomination for vice president.

The Alaska governor's personal life has been a topic of discussion since Monday when it was discovered her unwed teenage daughter was pregnant. That comes on top of the questions surrounding her experience and readiness for the job, and an ethics investigation currently being conducted at home.

Despite it all, she's got Republicans excited. Rudy Giuliani told ABC's "Good Morning America" that if Palin had been president when the U.S. came under attack on 9/11, he's confident she would have been able to handle the crisis.

He says she appears to have "tremendous confidence," and urged
people to "Give her a chance to make her first speech, give her a
chance to do her first interview."

Giuliani will give the convention's keynote address tonight.
