Fight! Fight! Fight!
If America does not elect these two then we deserve
the consequences of Big Obama Government:
Back to Back Homers!
Before tonight I would have led my Title with Palin McCain, but McCain dealt the Dems the other blow. He hit the next pitch out of the park as well. Make looked and sounded fisty. He delivered his speech as well as I have heard him. His points were clear and his message spelled out the differences between Obama’s hate America spiel and McCain/Palin’s Love America Cheer!
Hope again!
Before this last week the Republicans lead by John McCain looked limp. Now with Sarah Palin and her speech and John McCain’s strong voice the Republicans look unstoppable. The base is finally energized, the conservatives are back and ready to fight. It is time to get out and canvas the country for McCain and Palin. I have always said the the McCain needed to rally the base the conservative base because they will show up to vote. The next thing McCain has to do is gain some support from dejected Hillary voters and a percentage of the Hispanic vote. Then the election is his…..and hers for the taking. (riggword)

Hugh Hewitt Tells Why we need to Contribute more than ever:
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 5:45 PM Though John McCain kept his pledge to accept public financing for the campaign ahead (Obama broke his promise to do so), it is legal to contribute to the McCain-Palin Compliance Fund, which fields the army of lawyers necessary to keep the vote free of corruption. Needless to say, given the involvement of the Cook County/Chicago machine, this will have to be a significant fund.
You can contribute online here.
McCain Strong!

And behold your transcript. Sometimes I like him, rarely do I love him, but I’ll always respect him for making it here from Hanoi. How anyone doesn’t, I can’t fathom.
Feel free to use this thread for 2012 conjecture. Fearless pessimistic big A prediction: Palin’s out of politics by then, leading a forlorn party to turn its lonely eyes south towards Louisiana…
Total number of speeches watched this year from either convention: Donut.

Sarah Palin: A Star is Born in the GOP
Sarah Palin’s speech to the Republican National Convention last night was a home run. A star was born. While the Obama campaign has attempted to disparage it by saying that it was written by a former George W. Bush speechwriter, Matthew Scully—and thus link it to the McCain=Bush meme that was one of the chief ideas thrust forward in their convention in Denver last week—it cannot be dismissed as such. Scully reportedly had written a generic draft that could have been used by whichever vice presidential candidate McCain had chosen. But once Palin was the choice, she and Scully reportedly worked together and produced a draft that was brilliantly designed to promote the McCain-Palin ticket, and not to look backwards and justify the Bush administration. This will surprise no one who knows the independent-minded Scully (who left the Bush team to write a book on the responsibility human beings have to animals) and a woman who was described, by Fred Thompson on Tuesday night, as the only major-party nominee, with the possible exception of Theodore Roosevelt, who knew how to field-dress a moose. According to accounts I heard, they worked together quite satisfactorily and produced a text that reflected the VP nominee’s convictions and the ticket’s political imperatives. (More)
“Although utilizing the term “born” unintentionally dismisses the fact that she has been a rising star of the New Right in American politics for a long time, it is nonetheless true that Sarah Palin’s speech yesterday was one of the most important speeches in recent history and that a true American Icon has been born….
As a matter of fact, until last night, no one had effectively and publicly humiliated Obama’s pretensions to the Presidency of the United States as Sarah Palin did within the confines of a few strokes. Her poise and strength brilliantly shone through, albeit delicately and with a ‘little girl’ meanness that is the epitome of everything that a truly independent American woman is.” (More Savage)

I was going to save it for morning but it’s simply too sweet. Listen for the cheers at the beginning as the crowd recognizes the track. Exit question: When do the Wilson sisters file the copyright suit? Tomorrow or next week?
Update: Correct answer: Tonight!
McCain / Palin
What a breath of fresh air this political ticket is for our great nation.
To think that Governor Sarah Palin was just waiting up the road in the great state of Alaska to take her place in American history.
Without a doubt – Governor Palin will oneday be President of the United States of America – it is certainly a given.
John S. McCain will be the perfect vehicle for her to become familiar with the process and be a mentor in some small ways.
Though it can also be said that Governor Sarah Palin can also be his Mentor with many of her unique approaches to sound honest Government.
Thank God all mighty for this Presidential ticket – at this most trying time of our Worlds needs.
God Bless McCain / Palin
Sincerely – Keith M.

Thanks for you comment Keith,
I agree, thank God for Sarah Palin.
It was looking for a while like we were not going to have the chance to vote a real conservative into the White House.
Comment often if you like.
