Last night, the question about Sarah Palin wasn't if she's risen too fast, but where she's been for so long.
She may have given the best speech of either political convention. She delivered a brilliantly written text flawlessly. Politicians who've been on the national stage for decades could do no better, and usually do worse.
Newsrooms across America must be in abject despair. The unlikely VP nominee the media hoped to crush out of the gate is unaffected by their condescension and scorn - and is bent on giving better than she takes.
Miss Congeniality isn't afraid to administer an old-fashioned beat-down. Annie Oakley brought a gun to a knife fight and made like the Obama-Biden ticket was a moose lazily meandering into her gun sights.
she said the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom is "lipstick." It wasn't just a cute line. She immediately began to prove it, starting with her killer line that being mayor of a small town is just like being a community organizer - except you have actual responsibilities.
She was merciless on Obama's elitism, scoring him for saying one thing about working-class voters in Scranton and another in San Francisco. By the end, you began to feel sorry for him for having been so thoroughly eviscerated by a woman and to wonder - how are Obama and Biden possibly going to handle her?
Palin was obviously comfortable laying body checks on Obama. In fact, she seemed to enjoy it.
Throughout, she never lost that ineffable quality that is literally priceless - her likability.

Well said.
MrEdd, I am a conservative too. I was unhappy that McCain was the republican choice. I have given money to Colonel Allen West, I will be giving $0.00 to my two Senators from Georgia after they jumped on board with the gang of ten over energy and drilling. I only gave to McCain after he chose Governor Palin. The thought of that numbnut elitist windbag socialist choosing Justices for the Supreme Court should be enough of a horror that you should vote for McCain Palin.
Can someone explain to me how these moonbats get in the place? They cant be delegates, who is watching the door?
And who aside from McCain that is running for office will actually do a better job with the Islamofascists and Putin???
Bob Barr??? Ron Paul??? "Corvair-man"???
I tuned into The View for the same reason. BaBa WaWa looked positively sick.
A ping and a bump
“If there is anyone here at Free Republic that isnt fully supporting McCain/Palin after last night....I just dont understand you.”
I spent months wondering if I’d bother voting as I really didn’t care for McCain. There’s no doubt that I will now. Picking Palin was a stroke of genious from McCain.
She spoke from the heart with a servant’s heart. I’ll just bet Obama is sputtering and mumbling this morning.
To steal a great line I saw posted yesterday..
She doesn’t just know how to field dress a moose, apparently she knows how to field dress a donkey!

I’ve been for McCain from the beginning. Took a questionnaire early on and he only differed with my point of view on immigration. Other than that, we were in agreement for 70% of the questions.
Anyone who has come face to face with his/her own mortality finds a very deep spirituality emerging from an inner core. That goes for cancer survivors, combat survivors, rape survivors, robbery survivors, storm disaster survivors. You name it. When those things happen, you have the voice of God whispering to you, giving you a strength you find nowhere else and under no other circumstances.
John McCain is such a person.

Ooooohhh! Thanks! I’ve never seen so many people unprepared in my life.
What a joy it is to see McCain pull a Big Bad Bunny Rabbit out of his hat to beat up on the Li’l Goo-Goo Woof!
The Main Slime Media will be tripping over their brains for a long time. I love it!
I've decided to support the Palin / Whatshisname ticket.
I must say, that is one of the most interesting and unique comments I have ever read here.
Really.
Cool!
I guess they didn't notice Michael Williams. That bunch of old brood hens don't realize that Michael is probably one of the most powerful men in that (s)country bumpkin, racist, redneck state of Texas(/s). As Texas Railroad Commission Chairman, it is his job not only to regulate the railroads but also the production of oil in the state.
Lets face it...these old hens have just discovered there's a pitbull in the hen house.
Well, not really...I mean, it depends on who you talk to.
It’s a “bad-time” story that was told by a certain mother to a certain younger sister back in the day.
Maybe you could call it “an inside joke?”
Have we found a new Reagan?
