Governor Palin came to the convention and gave a great speech.  Palin has speaking talents on par with Obama; the Governor will be a formidable asset to the McCain campaign.  She is comfortable on stage and can deliver.  Some of the lines were killer.  She compared some of her experiences with Obama:

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities.

Ouch.  I guess in the final analysis there is a difference between making decisions and being a rabble rouser. This is killer.  Governor Palin went on to to deliver several other such strikes throughout her speech.  These strike where not just red meat, these where the political equivalent of a knife thrust.  To the point, deep and very painful.  Her delivery is first class, I only wonder what other treasures we might find in Alaska.

The times Governor Palin has spent hunting and fishing have served her well, she obviously knows how to skin things.  Governor Palin’s final analysis of Obama’s posture with respect to the war leaves him flayed open:

“This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting and never use the word ‘victory’ except when he’s talking about his own campaign,”

With that line she underscores the Obama’s hyper-narcissism, putting a point on it so to speak. With regard to Obama’s lack of substance:

But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan?

And there was more.  Well Obama’s campaign just got a trip to the emergency room.  Call your doctor Senator, you’ve got a fight on your hands, and the Governor from Alaska, (ain’t she good looking) just mugged you last night.
