A swell has begun out in the ocean depths, that in passing, is scarcely felt on the surface. But as it nears shore, and enters the harbor, it builds, with an intensity and pressure that was difficult to predict before it arrives. This phenomenon is known as a “Tsunami”, so named by the Japanese for what is translated as “harbor wave”.
John McCain did something both unpredictable and brilliant. Sarah Palin’s first introduction to most of the US public went remarkably well, and she made the best of it. You don’t get a second chance at first impressions.
Those who were not immediately swayed to support of Palin, at least were left without a large NEGATIVE impression, and the McCain campaign can work with that. Expect a lot more people to come around in the coming weeks. If the McCain-Palin ticket can develop something like coattails, the results should show up in both Houses of Congress as well.
Maybe there might not be a majority for Republicans, but the Democrats are not going to have the “bulletproof” majority they think they deserve.
Yes, and I’m encouraged by how the fawning coverage of Obama’s great international adventure backfired: It means voters may see through the media’s anti-Palin hysteria as well.
