While Watching Palin....

"The difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick."

Tonight's speech (and Rudy's verbal smackdown during the Keynote) says one thing.

"We may be behind in the polls. We may be facing an almost irrational love of Obama, but we're in it to win it."

The RNC has definitely changed from Tuesday night's softer tone. The gloves are off.

Rudy hasn't lost his New York attitude and delivers only the way he can. I hear the Notre Dame crowd yelling "Rudy! Rudy!"

Palin's got charisma, that's for sure. And, if there's one thing we've learned in this campaign, it's that charisma counts.

She sold the plane on eBay? How can you not love that?

She's teflon on the special needs issue. That is definitely going to pull some people.

I know the Democrats think it is game over, and the battle is certainly uphill, but the chickens haven't hatched yet. May be too early to count 'em.

"Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot."  Oh, man, that is classic!

The last two weeks are like watching a heavyweight fight.

Obama's speech, Palin's nomination, the media vetting frenzy on Palin, and now Palin going on the offensive. The best defense is indeed a good offense.

Why is CNN putting a "Fact" that "McCain had skin cancer a few times" on the screen? Politically motivated?

Last note: I feel sorry for the 17 year old kid who knocked up Palin's daughter. Here this horny young teenager is just doing what young boys around the world try to do...and poof, now he's on stage at the RNC. Bummer.
