Well, the McCain campaign knocked Obama off balance. I’m sure the Obamaniacs thought that reactions to Obama’s speech would dominate the news cycle over the weekend. Instead, Sarah Palin is the big story.
There are so many story lines with Palin. She’s a mother, businesswoman, governor, pro-life, pro-family. She’s been a real working mother. Millions of more moderate or non-political women will identify with her more than they ever could identify with a liberal woman such as Hillary.
We knew that McCain was scheduled to introduce his running mate, but somehow I don’t think an announcement about Mitt Romney or Governor Pawlenty would have had the impact we’ve seen for Sarah Palin.
Stay tuned for 60+ days to see how this all plays out. This could be an election in which the running mate makes a decisive impact.
2 NE liberals vs. a guy from Arizona and a woman right accross the pond from Russia! With an Alaskan Inuit hubby.
(Do Inuits consider themselves Indians? Or an ethnic group? Or do they care? I haven't seen Indian casinos going up in Alaska, so they may not be Indians.)
