So, like many I have been puzzled by McCain’s VP pick. I mean exactly who is Sarah Palin? To me, it smacked of old boy paternalism. The media seemed crazed to pick to death meaningless details – such as Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter’s pregnancy – Who cares?
Tonight at the RNC we got a chance to see why McCain chose Sarah Palin over better more well known candidates.
Wow.
I am impressed. And I didn’t even want to be.
No wonder that Republicans and the Fox News talking heads are wetting themselves. She is certainly more exciting than the actual Presidential nominee. Sarah Palin is a new political star.
Now we just have to see how Sarah Palin holds up under vigorous media scrutiny over the next sixty odd days.
I can’t wait for the debates. Bring it on!
UPDATE:
One speech I didn’t like was Rudy’s. Very nasty tone. Not a dignified rebuttal of Obama’s appeal. Palin has to be careful not to fall into the same trap.
