It’s what happens when conservatism is allowed to shine.
McLame sure didn’t pull in such numbers before Palin. It shows how much he sucked.
I agree. But for conservative ideas to shine, there must be a person who becomes the beacon of that light. Principles are not enough. There must be a leader who embodies those ideas. Principled people need principled leaders to follow. Palin has shown that leadership, just as Reagan did some decades ago. And Palin will provide leadership in her own unique way.
And let's give McCain a little credit here. He showed leadership in choosing Palin as his running mate. And that has made a great deal of difference to the Republican Party.
