I watched parts of the Republican convention, and it was right up there with watching paint dry. Then I watched Palin's address, didn't think she was ready for prime time, and figured she was going to fall flat on her ass.

Not only did she deliver, she delivered in spades. And her teleprompter was down...she was shooting from the hip. Stick that in yer pipe an' smoke it, Obummer.

She did ignite the conversative base, poor old McCain was dead in the water, kind of like Bob Dole was. Then the media went to work on her.

IMHO, she's quicker on her feet than Obummer, Mclame, and Plugs put together.

Do I want her for POTUS, or XO...not at this time. She's not Thatcher yet. May never be. But she's just as smart as any of 'em, and I like her.

Personally, I'd never make it in national politics. If people treated me like they did her, I'd reach across the desk, grab 'em by the head, and jam my thumbs if their eye sockets.

PS: As to the initial question, she was a wash. It was the Democrat's year...look who they won with.
