I think it is safe to say McCain's efforts backfired on him. He should been against the Great Bailout of 2008 with all that pork loaded in the bill. Now the polls are trending against him. But last night was Sarah's and she was just flat out wonderful.
Last night, all my fears were erased and the Sarah Palin I have been following for the last year returned. She spoke directly to the people, went right past the pundits, critics, Washington and Coast Elites. With her performance last night, she planted a stake in the ground for the re-birth of the conservative movement, no matter the outcome of the election in 2008.
She was positive, jabbing, on message, and down right appealing. She made a connection with viewers, and appealed to them. It is quite funny how the media makes fun of her language and accent. Perhaps they should get out from behind the computers in DC, NY, San Francisco, etc and take a drive to 'Any Town USA'. She is ONE of us.
She had a lot riding on this debate. She clearly had stumbled and was being tied down by McCain handlers. She broke those chains last night. Her future is bright. We will see a lot of Sarah Palin in the coming months and yes years ahead.
McCain may not want to take on his opponents, but Sarah has shown, you MUST and you can do it with grace and style.
Even if McCain does not aggressively go after victory this November, Sarah Palin is now on the national scene.
I look forward to seeing her on the trail, taking the conservative message to the people.
The best quote about the evening can be summed by this post on Hugh Hewitt blog:
" ... the defining moment of the debate was when a young governor from a remote, sparsely populated state strode confidently across the national stage, stuck out her hand for a firm handshake, looked a silver-haired senator of 36 years' tenure squarely in the eye, and said: "Nice to meet you. Hey, can I call you Joe?"
At that moment, the champagne bubble of the elites popped. For millions of viewers (but almost no national pundits), the juxtaposition telegraphed a clear message: 'She's not one of them, she's one of us. But she isn't awed by him. She's not afraid.' "

It MAY be too late for John McCain, but Sarah has MUCH left to do....
