It is an interesting thought. Something did happen the day McCain picked her. It's hard to explain what. But up until that point there was very little enthusiasm about the election from Conservatives. By the time she gave her convention speech she was larger than life. Remember her TV audience that night was larger than McCain's or Obama’s big nights. I don't think that has ever happened where the VP candidate drew more attention.

Yes she has.
I remember when it was Palin alone out there taking it to Obama, those months after the 2008 election were dismal, but Palin was already rebuilding instantly after the Obama win, she was a big player in the first big race within a month of the 2008 election.

I’m always skeptical of advice or praise from the other side, but this seems honest.

No it’s not.
The Tea party is not the Republican party. And it’s made up 40% of Democrats and Independents.

This writer says Palin is not a “True Reformer”
Buy does not cite any examples. I wonder who he thinks was a True Reformer Was/Is.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Interesting take. Yeah, Democrats elevating Sarah Palin.
Take the hint.

I think if November produces the results we hope for, Palin will get a lot of credit, maybe not from the MSM or the Republican establishment, but the troops on the ground knows the real score.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
The writer is a political strategist and a former chairman of Virginia's Democratic Party. Huh? WaPo? Giving credit to Palin for something nobody else is? Wow.
Courageous. He'll be flogged by the lefties.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Very interesting..
Palin gets credit from small voiced me..
She deserves our gratitude..
I was so terribly down after McCain won our nomination..Palin helped me get to the polls to vote a protest against Obama mania.
I was so disturbed by the leftward drift of our nation with Zero and the dims in charge that I stopped watching the news..but the gatherings of patriots across this nation and Palin’s support and encouragement gave me hope.
She delivered oxygen when we were suffocating.

Yeah. Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal weenie though, totally unlike Sarah Palin. She has had the sense to know that a "bullmoose" movement would be a catastrophe.

I just had an idea that hit me like a tone of bricks:
Sarah should announce she's running for President on November 3rd! The whole nation would go wild!

"Simply put, Palin started as Tonto but has become the Lone Ranger. Instead of fading out last summer, she remained strong and stood by her party. She has become a bridge between the old Republican guard and the growing right-wing dissatisfaction with not just Democrats but also Republican officeholders. Palin's ability to advocate for using the GOP, not a third party, to channel this angst has allowed Republican voter anger to boil, yet not boil over. Should Republicans run up the score in November, Sarah Palin will deserve a lot of credit she will never get."
There are a couple of nits to pick, but the conclusion, above, is spot on, if he is saying that she will not get the credit she deserves from the party, which I think is what he is trying to say.
I think this is a perfect synopsis for her talent. The way she has used the free wheeling county totting aspect of her political celebrity has strengthened us by not splitting us into two parties. I was ready for that; but I thin she may have single-handedly prevented it. She is unique.
This guy is a jagov, as my friends from Pittsburgh might say, but he has this right.

Wait a minute. How can a complete idiot, country hick save a political party?
The "Palin is dumb" crowd grows smaller and smaller, and dumber and dumber.
