McCain's pick of Sarah has not only energized the conservative base, it has also changed the face of American politics for the next 20 years.

How many of us were, at best, grudgingly going to go to the polls to vote for McCain on election day only a little more than 2 months ago? How many of us got fired up after the pick of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate? Without Sarah, McCain and the RNC would be broke and this race would be all but over.

Not only was Sarah a great pick, but she has had the energy and charisma to do 3 big rallies a day for the last month. Between her and McCain, that's six rallies a day. And speaking of bad picks, has anyone heard or seen Mr. Biden in the last few weeks?

But on a more fundamental level, Sarah Palin has changed the tone and voice of the debate about the future of America and what it means to be an American. Would Joe the Plumber or Tito the Builder be newsworthy without the message that Sarah has been delivering since new VP nomination? Sarah has quite clearly and eloquently laid out the case for American exceptionalism in a manner not seen since Ronald Reagan; which is not to say that she is the second coming of Ronald Reagan, nor should she be seen as such. Sarah Palin is her own woman who has energized a lot of men and women with her own message of what it really means to be an American citizen.

Sarah's message of hope, faith, patriotism, and service, resonates strongly and firmly within me. God bless America and Sarah Palin!
