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."

We have a mildly autistic son. The way Mrs. Palin talked about Trig brought tears to Mrs. GBC’s eyes.

Wow, wow!

Oui!

We witnessed history tonight, my FRiends.

Sarah!

You were more than simply impressive.

You were (vice) Presidential!

Moose stew, all around! And keep it coming.

McCain should air, in part, "live" short talks by Gov. Palin in lieu of slick productions.

I think she can go over the heads of the MSM, Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party), "intellectuals," et al. She's a "Ronda Reagan."

We saw a woman who will be finishing her second term in the Oval Office the year her first grandchild (yet unborn) is getting his drivers license.

When I pay my bills this weekend, I will be sending a check or an online contribution to McCain/Palin. And I’ll do it with a smile.

Hard to believe just months ago I was returning the requests for money from McCain and the RNC with copies of the McCain peso.

This is THE year for surprises.

I’ve got a dentist appointment this weekend, but I may let Barack Obama take my place: he might need it. He had be missing a few teeth by the time that speech was over!

Go Sarah!

No way the liberal media can allow that speech to run again.

They’ll only air the liberal attacks on it.

Whoever said she’s Reagan in pumps got it right.

WOW! OMG! Gov. Palin knocked the ball out of the COUNTY!

You have just witnessed the first nationally covered speech for the Republican candidate for the 2012 election for the U.S. Presidency, Republican Vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin!

GOD BLESS AMERICA - THIS GREAT NATION NEVER FAILS TO MEET TODAY’S CHALLENGE!!!

Right after the speech I tuned in to the local left-of-center radio talk show. The first caller (a lib) was very thoughtful, not a raving loon. He sounded very worried and scared. He thought her delivery and appearance made her very appealing (to the unwashed masses).

It will take a while for the smile to leave my face.... :)

As Richard Nixon said after Ronald Reagan spoke: "Wooooooowwww...".

She was absolutely FANTASTIC, she is definitely going to be Vice President as John McCain will be President. Every speaker before her was also unbelievable. I am proud of her and she did herself alot of good. Couldn't be more proud. Take that StupidA$$Crats (dumb liberals).



Stupid-AssCrats……………Lots of Baggage!

The libs are calling her “sarcastic and mean”.

They were just field-dressed by a master.

I haven't seen anything like this since Reagan.

It was totally unexpected.

Wow. Just wow.

The reason the left is so scared is that she has the star power of Obama, but she also has the goods to back up all the talk.

Here’s how **I** know how good the speech was:

My 75 year old voting mother, who was believing much of the press and very wary about Sarah, called **me** towards the end of the speech gushing how America has a new hero and that Obama better watch out.

Makes me feel even better about what I saw!
