The No. 1 economic issue this election is gasoline prices at the pump.
The tax-hike effect of surging oil on global markets that has translated into a huge spike at your local gas station has drained the economy of its vitality.
It has damaged consumer purchasing power, made it tougher to pay mortgages on time, worsened the credit crunch, raised the inflation rate, undermined corporate profits and thrown stocks into the first bear market in five years.
Of course, with all the political hoopla from the Denver Democrats, it's easy to forget the populist revolt against high pump prices. Sen. Obama never mentioned skyrocketing pump prices or their devastating economic impact on ordinary working-class folks.
But this is the energy election. It will determine our future peace and prosperity. And Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has the energy answer: Our abundant country can produce more energy at lower cost if government gets out of the way.
Coming from the natural-resource-rich state of Alaska, Palin is an experienced energy expert. She knows more about the economics of energy than Sens. McCain, Obama or Biden. And in this year of the oil-shock economy, Palin's role will be absolutely crucial.
"Obama is way off-base on all that," Palin told me in a CNBC interview in late June. "I think those politicians who don't understand that we need more domestic supply of energy flowing into our hungry markets (are) living in la-la land. And we're in a world of hurt if their agenda continues to be to lock up these safe, secure, domestic supplies of energy."

That's her name from now on.
I like it too.
Ive already heard some friends refer to Palin as the ‘Sarah Connor’ of the Republican Party.
The question has been raised “Which of Sarah Palin’s children will lead humanity in the battle against the machines?”.
Ive also seen others comment how McCain and Palin remind the of Tyghe and Laura Roslyn on (the new) Battlestar Galactica.
Sarah’s “star power” may soon exceed Obama’s. She is Margaret Thatcher, Sarah Connor and Princess Diana, all in one package.
...led to this reply which I want to spread far and wide... this could be a winner...
===========================
Great observation - Great T-shirt idea!
This list on the front...
Margaret Thatcher +

From her speech tonight:
“Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines...build more nuclear plants...”
