"As the Democrats were being rudely stepped on, however, Palin ignited an explosion of enthusiasm among conservatives, Evangelicals, traditional Catholics, gun owners and Right to Lifers not seen in decades.... Indeed, the bristling reaction on the left testifies to Democratic fears that the choice of Palin could indeed be a game-changer in 2008.

Those "bitter" voters in small towns who "cling" to guns and religion? Hillary was supposed to get them when Obama was ridiculing her as "Annie Oakley." She was doing shots with beer chasers to look like one of the boys. But who picks up more, Biden or Palin? Who gets more energized? Did the Dems make a fatal mistake by passing over Hillary for the VP spot?
