I think many of us in flyover country saw Governor Palin's family and thought the same thing. Her kids, husband, all looked REAL!. Their smiles were not forced, the way they touched and looked at each other indicted a family where the kids were raised right and the mom and pop loved each other. I think that's what middle-America made the connection with.
And that's why the Democrats are running so scared.
I’ve spent this entire political season not liking John McCain. I think the Palin pick has done some uncanny things to the campaign that are being overlooked, not the least of which is that it has made both John and Cindy McCain appear more human as well.
I still do not agree with everything McCain stands for or even everything he said in his speech the other night. But he was real... as real as I’ve seen him.
Something about dealing with the Palin’s and the grief the media and liberals have given them has made John McCain real.
Another one of the many reasons his choice was the best.
We just don’t need to be fooled into thinking that Obama or the Media are going to be more real. They will continue to be the people (?) they are.
