Sarah Palin Hits Home Run!

It will be interesting to see the results once the daily tracking polls come out, but I have no doubt that Sarah Palin laid to rest any doubts that she is ready for the big time as she hit a home run (or maybe in her case as a self-proclaimed hockey mom it would be better phrased to say she scored a hat trick) in her VP acceptance speech given earlier tonight at the 2008 Republican Convention in St. Paul, MN. If the left thought they were going to knock this woman out of the race with the garbage and personal attacks they have levied against Palin and her family this week since McCain announced her to be his choice as VP in one of the best rope-a-dopes of all time, they are sorely mistaken. If they were frightened at the mere nomination of Sarah Palin to be Senator McCain's running mate, I can only imagine the angst and anguish they must be feeling now after seeing and hearing her deliver and land punch after punch tonight. What was amazing was that afterwards the pundits seemed to be all in agreement that she gave a great speech with little time in which to prepare for it (and this was compounded by the endless charges and personal attacks being levied against her by the mainstream media and the left), but then they still wondered if she would be prepared for the Presidency. Well, what more evidence do they need that this woman can walk through fire (in heels, I might add) and still come out no worse for the undertaking wearing a beaming, infectious smile upon her face, short of her actually serving and being the President?

As I wrote earlier this week, Sarah Palin is the left's biggest nightmare, and it has only gotten worse after seeing this woman who has been nicknamed "the Barracuda" in action. She is a mother with a lovely family who embodies the Conservative Republican message of God, family and country. She is what the feminists have always said they wanted, but because she is a Conservative woman who is pretty and has a winning smile, but more than that, she has brains and a good track record of personal and professional success to boot who got where she is without their assistance, they despise her. Add to that the fact that she is a Conservative woman who is passionate about the right to life (isn't it ironic how those who claim they are for a woman's right to choose only support that right to choose if it means taking the life of a baby from its mother's womb, and decry the choice made by mothers who choose to be pro-life?), their despising of her turns to hatred as has been demonstrated by so many on the left who have done their utmost to destroy this woman and her family, particularly her 17 year old daughter, Bristol, these last few days. And accompany this with the fact that she is member of the NRA and a proud and unashamed supporter of the Second Amendment, which is in the Constitution, by the way, then the vitriolic from the left is manifested fully. This woman just must be stopped!

Palin had to have scored major points this evening with women voters as she stated she would be the voice in the White House for families with special needs children. What better spokesperson would there be than the mother of a Downs Syndrome baby herself?

John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, and his willingness to stand by her in the face of the media frenzy and maelstrom that followed, are galvanizing the Republican Conservative base behind him as nothing I have seen or imagined could do. He may have had his initial doubts in wanting to select her, but I do not care. The bottom line is when push came to shove, he made the right choice. As far as I am concerned, Sarah Palin was not the only candidate scoring a hat trick. John McCain did with his selection of Sarah Palin.
