We were watching the Convention on the only channel that was broadcasting it in the old rooftop antennae World we live in out here in the sticks. PBS McNeil News on KCET was the only one broadcasting it.
The camera panned back to Piper licking her hand and smoothing Trig’s hair multiple times. My wife and myself fell instantly in love with that little girl.
Her Mom gained our respect and our comfort as to her nomination as VP with McCain by her presentation. We both finally feel good about voting this coming November. We were going to vote for McCain regardless, but now we just feel better about it all.
We can’t see Obama winning this one. It has to be McCain and Palin, and it will be.
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.
