So did Falk's friend Pat Mantel, who said, "I do enjoy that vice president that McCain picked." And so did Mantel's sister Carol Eberhardt, a retired lab worker and single mother of three, who said, "She speaks my language." This is the kind of response that wins elections--the people who can't be swayed by anything but their feelings about a person. No ad or speech is going to sway them.
George H. W. Bush couldn't speak well, Quayle was not a popular pick, but they won because people just didn't LIKE Dukakis.
Similarly, some voters could have huge disagreements with Palin, but so like the idea of her, and her persona, that they vote for McCain.

There's the old saw in politics that a bad pick can be a drag on the ticket... but a good pick can bring in votes for the guy atop the ticket. McCain made the right choice and it can only help him in a closely contested race!

If they really like her, that could spell trouble for Obama - who's already begging Hillary to save his ass! The Left has hung itself!
