She didn't have to prove she was "of the people." She really is the people....

BINGO! And THAT scares the Rats to death!

That’s the part the media just doesn’t get.

There is a big class element to this. Obama’s supporters tend to be upper middle class, people with Ivy League or similar credentials, who assume that Obama is one of them because he has similar educational credentials. Unfortunately for the Dems, many more people in this country have backgrounds and cultural attitudes like Sarah’s. I think that as the election goes on, she will draw more support from Reagan Democrat types who may rarely vote Republican, but feel like they can relate to and trust a hockey mom from small town America much more than a messianic elitist who grew up in Indonesia, the son of a radical, the friend of radicals.

Well, last week or so ago McCain got angry at the way Palin was being treated. He got all the campaign people together. And slamming fist in hand, and said "If this is the way it's going to be, this is the way it will be."

Her speach got changed fast and that's the way it's going to be from then on. McCain knows wars when he sees them, and Palin can spot idiots at 100 yards.
