The press and Washington is so blind-sided over this pick that they are left speechless.

More people than ever before are listening closely to what the candidates are made of and to what they say.

The Left is in big trouble and they have very little ammunition to attack Palin with. Inexperience? Imagine that, and their main candidate has only 178 days in the Senate and has only been a community activist before that for a short time.

Palin has run a business, been a very successful mayor, an accomplished Governor and a Commander in Chief of one of the largest National Guard units in the Country.

Let me remind you that on August 10, Karl Rove went on “Face The Nation” to argue that Senator Obama would make an “intensely political choice” for Vice President without regard for the “responsibilities of president.” At the time, Rove believed Obama would choose Tim Kaine, and argued against him by saying this:

With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?

Yeah, the MEDIA's spin on McCain's pick so far has been to dismiss Palin simply as a ploy to get disillusioned female Hillary supporters' votes.

But they are choosing not to to cover the fact that many, many conservatives are fired up by this choice.

I'm one of them.
