"We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I am reeling,” said Camille Paglia, the cultural critic. “That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman politician. Palin is as tough as nails.”Interesting. I watched the announcement because I thought McCain's choice could make or break his chances. I thought she was a very sympathetic individual, the warmest and most knowable of the four (Obama, Biden, and McCain being the other three.) She could easily be someone I know or lived in a neighborhood with or had been friends with (she is, after all, a hockey mom.) I think the PTA is an excellent place to start a political career and anybody willing to sneer at that hasn't had to deal with parents whose whole identity is bound up in their kid.
In a nutshell, she's everything Obama says he is, but she has the creds to back it up. See here for a head to head comparison.
