Here is an example of the “Palin effect” on American voters.

My wife...... she hardly follows politics. Probably couldn’t even name 10 politicians. Two weeks ago, she said she wasn’t very impressed with Obama’s running mate “Joe Liberman”. (thats right, she thought Liberman was running)

Anyway, all she is talking about the last week is Palin. All of her friends at work are talking about Palin. She never talks about politics, even though she has to listen to me. (I guess she tunes me out)

Anyway, this is all folks at my work are talking about. And I work at a site that employees over 5,000 people.

LOL! I was at Costco Saturday, and a Korean-American lady was doing the sample thing with smoked Alaskan salmon. As usual, I indulged.

She said in heavily accented English "it's from Alaska...you know,like da Palin....you like da Palin?"

I assured her I was on board.

"Oh da Palin, Sarah, she gonna win...she gonna win big!"
