Wow, Wow, a Thousand Times Wow

What did we see tonight?

Tonight, we either saw a watershed in American politics, a tour de force, the most striking and graceful debut in our nation’s political life, and a national introduction that makes Barack Obama’s 2004 convention address look like small potatoes… or we saw what we wanted to see, and the country’s persuadable independents saw something else. I’m afraid to believe. If I’m wrong, I don’t really know what Americans want. I know conservatives are thrilled to pieces, and they ought to be. She knocked it out of the park. I don’t think she could have delivered that speech any better. Even if I hadn’t suggested a line, I would say that the speech hit almost every note just right. (Did the Obama fans feel this way? Is this what their exultation feels like? Wonderful. I’m glad they get to experience it too.)

My e-mail box is thrilled. Cam's Talkbackers are thrilled — "you called down the thunder, and now ya have it."

Palin, Jindal: What I hope is that this evening, this campaign will inspire a few score potential leaders.

......while Sarah skates in, body slams, and checks the main stream media dem-crat enablers to the boards.

Just like the Hanson brothers in Slapshot.

McCain had better not only knock it out of the park, it had better be a GRAND SLAM.

Mrs. Palin just raised the ante.

In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.

Biden is just a spare dick at a wedding...

That was the best laugh I have had in weeks.

She knocked it out of the park.

It was Albert Pujols vs. Brad Lidge, October 2005, with the media/Obama-Biden as Brad Lidge.

I caught it immediately, and I’m sure others did, too.

SLAM DUNK , SARAH PALIN.

GREAT WORK, JOHN McCAIN!

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A BETTER V.P. SPEECH, EVER?

I CANNOT ANSWER THAT.

AND, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF MY COUNTRY. ALWAYS.

GOD BLESS McCAIN/PALIN.

As my sometimes faulty memory remembers it, W. didn't overcome Gore until the debates...maybe even the third one.

How many debates will there be?
If it's any less than 3 for prez candidates then it's a sign the media is trying hide bo's incompetence and skate him through the process as fast as possible.

Yeah, bit bull with lipstick.

Best night in a lonnnng time. Funny how all the Liberal crap slung over past few days made for record audiences to watch her media debut. But she absolutely knocked it out of the park—heck, she knocked it out of the stratosphere!!!!

Stick em with the knife while smiling; You go girl!!!!!

That was my thought when I heard this speech. I said she is like a battleship.

Hillary Clinton...she is every man's ex-wife or mother-in-law. Sarah Palin...she is the wife (or mother) that every man wants!

I was trying to think of the best way to say this earlier. You stated it perfectly. Thanks!

LOL. McCain is the “Maverick” you just never know.

John McCain is the real deal. He could of just retired off of Cindy McCain’s and her father’s money, but he didn’t. There is a very strong familial/generational committment to public service.

Almost no one goes into the US military unless they really love this country.

To the MSM, that is what you call a great speech. You better send your guy home to practice.

Bammo Obamma!!!! Take that you snotty, elitist, apologist! Sarah is Reagan incarnate! Say yes to patriotism, service, and honor. Sarah has taken the Dems to the woodshed. Now they are whining that she was mean/nasty...OMG. After they have spent the better part of the week trashing her, her family, her experience. I guess that they expected her to slink out on the stage? Mama bear just let them have it! The Maverick and the Barracuda all the way!
