Palin floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.
The Democrats are in trouble. Sarah Palin has totally changed the dynamics of this campaign.
Period.
Palin's speech to the GOP National Convention on Wednesday has set it up so that the Republicans are now on offense and Democrats are on defense. And we don't do well on defense.
Suddenly, Palin and John McCain are the mavericks and Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the status quo, in a year when you don't want to be seen as defending the status quo.
From taxes to oil drilling, Democrats are now going to have to start explaining their positions.
Whenever you start having to explain things, you're on defense.
I actually went back and watched Palin's speech a second time. I didn't go to sleep until 1:30 a.m. I had to make sure I got the lines right.
Her timing was exquisite. She didn't linger with applause, but instead launched into line after line of attack, slipping the knives in with every smile and joke.
And she delivered it like she was just BS-ing on the street with the meter maid.
She didn't have to prove she was "of the people." She really is the people....(snip)
As for Palin herself, she is going to be very, very effective on the campaign trail, especially if McCain's people can figure out how to gently keep her from getting into confrontations with the press.
If she can answer questions like she handled herself at the convention, Palin will turn out to be the most interesting person in all of politics, and the press will treat her like they treated Obama when he was first discovered.
And remember, the Palin bandwagon needs to roll for only two months....(snip)

"By the way, a note to John McCain: Get rid of the suits.
McCain is best with an open collar, his sleeves rolled up and in a Western shirt.
He doesn't come off well in suits at all.
They make him look old.
And Cindy - keep the hair up."
Willi is a racist.
BINGO! And THAT scares the Rats to death!

What a masterstroke of brilliance this selection has become.
Every once in a while Democrats feel the need to be honest. He will get back on the talking points soon.
That’s the part the media just doesn’t get.
And just when is this going to start?
Not only....but there are now appearing many such admiring articles in this and other leftist bastions of the press.
I suspect that they will appear on this Forum.
Despite being a dem, it sounds like Willie Brown likes Sarah.
I couldn’t believe Willie Brown wrote this either, until I read some of his other columns. He was the smartest politician in CA and now that he is retired he doesn’t have to be partisan and he calls it like he sees it.
The liberal press is acting like a mad dog they feel FAIL is near.
He is, in effect, favorably comparing her to The Greatest, the black icon, one of the most well-known people in the world, Muhammad Ali.
Wow.
By the way, there's a new dining tip for people going out in Oakland.
Be sure to order soup.
That way when the robbery starts, you can slip off your jewelry and drop it into soup so the robbers won't see it.
Rumble, young woman, rumble.
Willie Brown is, was, and always will be all about Willie Brown.
He is the perfect embodiment of Mao-tze Tung’s phrase: “If you would be a leader, find a parade and get in front of it.”
Willie Brown has just found a new parade...
Honesty and the Dems, who’da thunk it?
Every once in a while Democrats feel the need to be honest. He will get back on the talking points soon.

This brings to mind one of Willie’s quotes: “Always tell the truth unless it’s politically expedient to do otherwise.”
Well, the MSM will not stop after Election Day. They know that they need to destroy Sarah Palin. If they can’t get to her with anything substantive, they’ll just keep banging away with ridicule. They’ve done this with GWB & Dick Cheney for 8 years. Look at their ‘numbers’.
With Liberalism its all about ‘The Movement’.
