I thought Palin was a lightweight; she's not. I thought she was an ingenue; she is, but only as long as her claws are sheathed. I thought she was bewildered and star-struck...; if she ever was, she isn't anymore. I thought she was nothing but raw political talent and unrealistic ambition; it turns out that she has impressive political skills. I thought she was destined to become nothing more than a historical footnote; I now think that Democrats underestimate her at their peril........

Anybody who thought any of these thing wasn't paying attention to Palin. It was obvious from the first minutes of her convention speech that Palin is a political natural and a star - she will be the face of the GOP going forward, she will continue to drive the left into a frenzy of impotent hatred, and she will be sworn in as president in 4 or 8 years.

Even if McCain doesn't win this election, Republicans owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for giving Palin this shot - without Palin's rise the GOP could be facing 4 years out of power with the likes of tired hacks like Huckabee and Romney as the only possibilities for 2012.

No matter the outcome next week, McCain has elevated himself and his place in history by choosing Governor Palin.

Heck y'all, I just can't help wondering if Ms Cindy McCain wasn't behind the selection of Sarah.

Little John, the maverick, does not seem the type nor have the history of including women in his circle jerk.

I recall how he snarled at Maria Shriver in 2000 when she was playing “reporterette for a day” and approached him backstage at one of the debates. I'm thinking he likes the company of real men, you know, big Joe Liberman and that real killer guy, Lindsey Graham.

I say put Sarah way up front with her family and bring Cindy along just leave John snoring in the back of the bus.
