Gov. Palin used Reagan grit and humor to quiet her critics

With a toughness and wit that was reminiscent of Ronald Reagan, Gov. Sarah Palin may have quieted her critics. The Alaska governor showed a grace, poise and strength many experts doubted she had. She delivered the red moose meat to a convention hungry for her next Obama-meal.

We all thought Giuliani was the "mayor of the night" with his Hannibal Lector-like dissection of the Democrat ticket. Former Mayor Palin made his speech a distant memory.

Palin has gone from an interesting Alaskan myth to a true force to be reckoned with.

Sen. Obama may now know how Hillary feels, and be asking himself "What happened?"

On a side note, John McCain, who not too long ago was considered defeated, officially became the nominee of the Republican Party tonight. His first real challenge will be to top his V.P.

Michigan's hockey jerseys made us the "bell of the ball." Even Texas, who won yesterday's dress contest conceded to Michigan's Hockey Mom tribute. Go Red Wings!

Palin vs Obama

The Junior Senator Bacrack H. Obama and Governor Palin are well educated individuals. B.H.O.'s resume has him as a community organizer who snorted cocaine, a Junior Senator, voted present 131 times with NO executive experience and has voted 100% of the time along party lines. He is connected with the corrupt Chicago Daley gang; is supported by an infamous narcissistic reverend and priest; has close ties with two convicted felons Tony Rezko and Williams Ayers and until recently his wife was not prode of America.

On the other side, Sarah Palin`s resume includes her 14 years of executive experience as Governor, Commander of the National Guard in Alaska, former Mayor, City Councilor; PTA member and who does not snort cocaine Her eldest son, to serve his country, enlisted in the army and is scheduled for deployment in Iraq. From a heart beat, her experience as a mother of five alone qualifies her for commander and chief.Keep smiling...
