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)

Not even pretending to be impartial anymore. The sooner the MSM dies the better.
Watching the media attack Palin is like watching 50 one legged men at a ass kicking contest.
Willie Brown has always been a very smart politician. I'm glad to see his take on Sarah is by way of warning the Dems that she's the real thing.
The excitement of her nomination is continuing to build, and I don’t think the Dems can blunt it. There have even asked Hillary to start attacking Sarah.
I don't think Willie is trying to be honest. Nobody in politics can tell a lie and make it seem like the truth better than Willie Brown. There is a different motive here. A lot of Black leaders have been neglected with the ascension and coronation of Obama. The press doesn't seek them out any more and fawn over every word they utter. The old-time Black Democrats resent Obama for taking all the glory.
Just wait until Obama looses the election. It's going to look like a turf fight in the 'hood on a Saturday night.
Ah. ok. I never even thought of her. LOL!
