Did McCain just "save" the Republican Party?
Is it possible that for the first time in history the election will be won or lost because of a Vice Presidential choice?
After watching Obama's speech on the last night of the DNC, I had an overwhelming feeling the the election may very well be over. That was just the kind of enthusiastic, passionate, tax-raising, government spending, nanny-state (not really even saying anything) rhetoric that the left and the so-called middle wanted to hear. And in rock-star fashion. McCain, though funny at times, just doesn't have that kind of charisma. It's over.
The Friday morning came and with the announcement of Sarah Palin. Wow, did he actually pick the perfect candidate. The only one that would actually give the GOP 4 more years? Possibly. I see only 2 futures. The unknown Palin makes a few "rookie" errors and comes across as only the token-woman VP pick. Or, the unknown Palin, having been assumed to be the token-woman VP pick, demonstrates the true conservative she is and knocks down everything thrown at her (and it will be thrown.)
Only time will tell. But, I've heard her name in the past as a true rising-star in the conservative movement and I like what little I've seen so far. But, one thing's for sure. It's going to be a fun election season.

Wow is right! Joe, I am re-energized. Her speech at the convention was just what conservatism has been waiting for! She survived the smear and epitomizes the true meaning of feminism, not the liberal, angry type. I am so proud of McCain. His choice rallied the base, and although I still don't necessarily believe he won't revert to type..."reahing across the isle, working with democrats"..etc. etc. I think that this choice and a strong base can force him to see the error of his ways, which seems to have already had some impact given the Palin choice. So, while I do not think it's time to end the website, considering that we may be "saved", I think the potential is there. McCain was right last night when he said that they need to get "back to basics." Here's hoping!!
