...Following Palin around Ohio and Pennsylvania in the last days of the campaign, you meet a lot of Republicans [who] don’t hate McCain — they have too much respect for what he’s done in his life — but they felt a distinct shortage of enthusiasm for his candidacy until he picked Palin.
By contrast, every person I've spoken with who's been opposed to Sen. Palin — when I've had at least three minutes to probe their reasoning — has relied on falsehoods about her manufactured by the Hard Left and spread by their mainstream media stooges (e.g., rape kits, book-burning, dinosaurs-and-cavemen, blah-blah). And inevitably, they are completely clueless about the details of the rascals she threw out of power to get into office and her accomplishments once there...

The biggest lie of this campaign—and it’s really hard to pick just one—is the Palins-a-drag-on-the-ticket myth. From all my canvassing efforts during this election, one truth I would stake my life on: McCain wouldn’t have a chance in H-E-double hockey-mom sticks without Palin.

Right you are. She’s the best retail politician we’ve seen in America in quite some time. And the geniuses on the Left don’t realize that the more they criticize her, the more popular she becomes.

Among the six “Lifelong Republicans” I know who are voting for Obama this time around, all six (a remarkable number) are doing so because the Palin choice was such a dissapointment. Speaking of remarkable numbers, this may shock Freepers, but all six lifelong republicans also voted for Kerry 4 years ago - because they were disappointed in Bush’s illegal war. And, wonder of wonders, the four who were old enough to vote 8 years ago voted for Gore - because they thought Bush didn’t take global warming seriously enough. Yep, Palin is a disappointment to the “Lifelong Republicans”. But to the 60% who are conservatives in our country, she gives us Hope that the far-left dominance will Change.
3 a.m. phone call? I would implicitly trust Sarah Palin to make the correct decision here and with any other policy or emergency issue that arose.
And I believe I can state with confidence that Mr. Jefferson would have much admired this grand lady.
