She did it. Gov. Palin did everything she needed to do tonight from the podium of the Xcel Center here in St. Paul.
All night long, I've been soaking up the excitement and anticipation for her speech from the thousands of people gathered at the GOP convention.
And boy, did she deliver.
Funny. Smart. Beautiful. Self-deprecating.
Sarah Palin introduced her family and her story to the American people. ?She detailed her track record as the chief executive of Alaska.
She took a couple of jabs at the elitist and vile media attack machine, and the man they so desperately want to be president, Barack Obama. She poked Harry Reid in the eye with mocking Reid's ugly, "I can't stand John McCain" remark in the past.
This crowd loved every minute of it.
And if we are fortunate enough to watch John McCain beat all the odds and win the presidency on November 4, I will always believe that Sarah Palin helped seal the deal for him.
It was tonight, the night that America fell in love with Sarah Palin, that we Republicans can start to be truly excited about our chances.
Some pundits said that the bar was quite high for her tonight. ?Others, like me, felt that the expectations were relatively low, that all she had to do was be herself in order to win over millions.
She did it. She exceeded expectations. The affection and support tonight in St. Paul and in family rooms all over America is tangible. It's real.
Finally, we're getting sick and tired of the vicious media attack dogs. ?At long last, a great American triumph like the story of Sarah Palin is trumping the whiny little weasels in the mainstream press.
The phony feminists are silent tonight. ?The rabid media, in the tank for Obama, is stunned.
She did it.
