If you listen very closely, you can hear the air leaking out of the democrat's political balloon. I admit I expected a lot from Sarah Palin's speech last night, acknowledging that if it were somewhat successful, it would put the Republican ticket over the top. But what Sarah Palin did last night exceeded any and all expectations from friends and foes alike. She didn't just appear as a qualified candidate for vice president, she looked presidential. While she deserves all the wonderful praise for the speech, we must remember our criticisms of Barack Obama as we view Palin's speech through the proper perspective. The true test is yet to come in the debate arena when the tele-prompters will be turned off and it will be up to the candidates to back up what they have said at the conventions. Palin looked very comfortable giving the speech because I feel she spoke the truth as she knows it, no matter who wrote the speech. It will now be up to her to take this wonderful message on the road and not only defend it, but promote it. Her criticisms of the democrats were right on and needed to be said, but with the huge success of the speech, you can bet the liberal's best friend, the mainstream media, will be ready to pounce should she stumble in the least.
But what has given me the most pleasure is the look of despair on the faces of the democrats, including but not limited to Keith Olberman. This idiot, disguised as a fool, didn't know what to make of Palin's speech and really couldn't put his ire for all things conservative into credible criticisms of the speech. All he could barely get out was an off-handed comment concerning Palin's image as a modern day Norma Rae by comparing that image to Reese Witherspoon's evil character in the movie "Election". But this was the best the detractors could muster as the speech was sound, accurate, and masterfully delivered and what's most important is they don't know where to go from here. Palin not only can take a punch but give one as well and it is something those on the right knew was possible while those on the left did not expect. The democrats will turn to their greatest ally and friend, the mainstream media, to destroy her character. If you thought the media's treatment of Sarah Palin was bad before the speech, just wait.
