I was explaining to someone today the difference in my attitude before and after Palin's addition to the ticket.

Before I was definitely for John McCain and would have voted for him.

After the addition of Palin, I feel energized and ready to do anything I can to help the ticket win.

KAPOW!  She completely knocked it out of the park.  A home run.  A grand slam.

She took the podium, took the criticism, and shoved that criticism right back down the throats of her detractors... with as much grace as a seasoned veteran.

Even CNN commented that a "star" was born.

This was a Reagan moment.

This was an Obama 2004 moment.  Her speech will literally go down in the history books as one of the most astounding certainly of my generation.

Sarah Palin as a vice presidential pick will certainly be remembered all right.

Republicans: Please run Sarah Palin for president in 2012.

Update

Can't forget this:

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family--clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.
