Same here. He talked just a bit about his POW experience, but in a completely unexpected way. And the part about thinking he was his own man until he got shot down-man, that just did it. Talking about how America saved him (what a contrast to twenty years under a “pastor” who prayed for God to “d*mn America”!
I’m still going to want to throw tomatoes at him if he tries to push blanket amnesty or goes moonbatty on the gorebull warming thing (with Palin as his pick, I can’t believe it’s one of his top priorities), but I have a belief in the man himself that I didn’t have before, just like you said.
before mccain’s speech I said Palin would be the voice of conservatives and that mcCain would be its ear. He said during cpac that he got the message on immigration. Global warming and ANWR were the 2 remaining biggies and by picking Palin he has shown he is willing to listen again. He challenged republicans on spending and earmarks (which was probably hard enough for the GOP bigshots at the convention) and not the acceptance of global warming.
