Wonderful piece, and I loved this in particular:

Someone said Obama has had a bad few days. Actually, he's had a bad few months. He peaked before Hillary Clinton got out of the race in June and, with a few exceptions, has stagnated or trended lower in most polls ever since.

Yet he might have had enough money and charisma to pull it off in a Democratic year against the admirable-but-beatable John McCain. The 72-year-old McCain knew as much, which is why he reached into his maverick bag and pulled out Palin.

Bingo. Palin has energized Republicans, attracted independent voters and white women to the McCain ticket and replaced Obama as the fresh face. To say Dems haven't figured her out understates their cultural disconnect. They still haven't figured out why Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale and President Bush beat John Kerry.

Lol, very good article.

Well they could move to Russia, Cuba, China, or Venzuela, and they would feel right at home. We need to bring back the old “America, Love it or Leave it” bumper stickers.

They can't understand Americans' lives. So all they have left is to hope their enemy destroys himself, since they can't win on the issues.

We should start a pool on how long until one of Sarah’s MSM interrogators ambushes her with the “you know, Governor Palin, Uzbekistan is an important ally in the War on Terror, can you name the Uzbeki Ambassador to the US?” type question. It may not be Charlie Gibson, but rest assured, it’s coming.

Or maybe ABC will come up with a video of her talking in tongues

let’s say she does. So friggin what? She’ll still be more eloquent than Obamuh uh uhhhhhhh or Joe Buhbiden

So true.

He reached into his


And pulled out


And there was much rejoicing.

Enjoyed the piece very much. But just in case Santa Claus doesn't hand them the election, the Obama-bots ought to stop feeling sorry for themselves and start feeling the pain and hopes of ordinary Americans. Maybe then they'd understand the remarkable appeal of Sarah Palin.

Besides most Obama-bots do not know the North Pole is in Alaska. Let them send the letters anyway. :-D. This is one year Santa had a really big surprise for them.

My guess is that obviously Palin might flub a few foreign policy questions. So what? What governor is up to speed on all national security issues? Given that, as governor she is privy to a certain amount of national security info. When the debates happen I doubt the average voter will be impressed that Joe Biden knows more about the ins and outs of Washingtonian politics. And I doubt Gibson will try to trick her or ask her stupid questions like who is the high mucky muck of Lower Kaboomistan like they did with Dubya.

Great summary!

The waiting is over. Tonight's the night. But if I were a betting man, I wouldn't wager the ranch that ABC's Charlie Gibson will expose Palin as the nincompoop, gun-toting, too-fertile tart Democrats say she is.

Is the Gibson interview tonight???

Barack mocked Middle America---people he said were left behind by the global economy, who cling bitterly to their Bibles, bigotries and guns.

And now we have in Gov Palin, the embodiment of a Second Amendment, Bible-believing, Middle America-----who is cleaning Obama's clocks just by showing up.

Obama's looking more and more like a short order cook in a greasy all-night diner, serving up leftover Biden stew.

What are the details of Charlie Gibson’s interview on ABC of Gov. Palin tonight?
