Go Sarah Go

Sarah Palin put all doubts to rest tonight as to whether she is for real or not. Look out Hillary, there is a new woman in town, and this one isn't riding her husband's coattails.

A bright, cheerful, intelligent, and very approachable Sarah Palin strolled out on the stage tonight for the Vice-Presidential debates. Her performance was nothing short of stunning. Joe Biden had to be thinking, "Damn, where did she come from!"

Joe Biden is a masterful politician with over 30 years in the Senate. He is knowledgeable and a feisty debater. But he was no match for the personality offensive presented by Sarah Palin. Sarah spoke to and connected with the audience like no politician I have watched in 40 plus years. Even her confidence is contagious. My own confidence for the McCain ticket was beginning to wane, but the infectious optimism of Sarah Palin has restored my confidence that she and McCain can and will win this November.

The filtered version of Sarah Palin being interviewed by Katie Couric showed Sarah in the worst light possible. But tonight she was able to rise above that edited interview and show her real personality off to the whole country. Not only were her debating skills superior to Biden's, but she also displayed a warmth and human side that the rest of us could relate to.

Whether or not tonight's debate will be the catalyst that pushes McCain up in the polls is still to be determined. McCain has his problems when it comes to exciting the crowds. His lackluster performance in the debate with Barack Obama certainly did him no good. Will the injection of passion by Sarah Palin be enough to right McCain's campaign? Only time will tell. Dick Morris is of the opinion that Obama has peaked too soon and will wear thin on those less than ardent supporters. Again, a big maybe to that assertion, we just have to wait.

As a side note, again Sarah Palin wore a dress. She evidently sees no need to compete with a man by wearing a pantsuit. She leaves no doubt that she is a woman, a self-assured, strong, and confident woman.

My wife is the only female that I can gauge for the female point of view, but I can honestly say that my wife does not feel threatened by Sarah. Other women may have a different point of view, but from a male point of view, I say wow!

Sarah Palin is a difference maker whether we are talking about the present campaign or one in the future. And, as noted at the beginning of this piece, Hillary has to be hearing footsteps. Obama surprised Hillary, but just wait, Sarah is just up the street and around the corner! Even Nancy Pelosi loses her Queen Bee status with Sarah around. Go Sarah go!
