Were Sarah Palin a broadway show she’d be My Fair Lady, and you couldn’t get a ticket – she would, after her opening night, be Sold Out.

Were John McCain a broadway show he’d be Death of a Salesman, and you couldn’t get a ticket – because, after his opening night, he would be Closed.

John McCain’s speech was poorly written, poorly delivered and largely poorly received – a snoozer, a bore, a bomb, REM TV.
Had it not been for the Enthusiasm Momentum carried over from Palin’s speech, all in that convention hall would have in a coma. (And P.S.: the wild – virtually only – appaluse, in the final 60 seconds, was obviously choreographed in advance – it had Noting to do with what McCain was saying. Watch the clip; it is painful.)

Imagine if now, with the Palin Convention behind them, all they had to offer was The John McCain Show? The only way to sell it would be “Survivor 2008: Can McCain Tread Water for 61 Days and Live?”

Republicans must know this.

NOW see how inspired – and necessary – a pick was Sarah Palin?

She is a Life-Preserver for McCain.
The question is whether she can be a Life-Saver.


Excelsior!

The Sarah Palin nuclear Fall-out extends even to the Clintons.

Operating under the ironclad assumption that Hillary has already taken aim at 2012, what does she do?

B.P. (Before Palin), Clinton was preparing to sabotage Obama, her surest way to the 2012 Dem nomination.

But now, an Obama loss puts Sarah Palin, in theory, in the White House for up to 16 years.

Conversely, if Hillary works to help Obama win, then she must line up again, in theory, matched directly against a prospective Sarah Palin presidential candidacy in 2012.

So what’s a Lady Socialist to do?

My guess: stick with plotting an Obama loss, providing Clinton her quickest potential route to another presidential candidacy.

For your consideration:


(1) The principal reason the delegates – and others of us patriotic – are so jazzed by last night’s convention events is that, as Pat Buchanan said on MSDNC, “WE NOW HAVE ONE OF OUR OWN UP THERE.”

Plus: those in-Obama’s-face speeches by Mitt, Rudy and Sarah were DEEPLY PARTISAN, ATTACKING OBAMA/BASIC LIBERAL PREMISES, AND DEFENDING CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

Its about time.

(2) As presented here one week ago…As we enjoy Sarah Palin, be aware of one great irony: IT IS OBAMA HIMSELF (by failing to choose Hillary) WHO MADE SARAH PALIN POSSIBLE.
OBAMA PICKED SARAH PALIN – and now is threatened by his own hand.

(3) The left-wing media (i.e. all of it but talk radio) have declared all-out Nuclear War on the Repubs and McCain ticket.
THERE ARE NO MORE RULES OF MEDIA ENGAGEMENT: THE NEW STANDARD OF JOURNALISM IS DEVOID OF OBJECTIVITY…THE NEW NEWS STANDARD IS MSNBC (i.e. no standard).

Here’s one thing about Sarah Palin I don’t like so much.
And, if you are a Mitt Romney fan, as I am, you won’t like it either.

It kills me to think this, let alone have to talk about it, but here it is:
With the overnight emergence of Sarah Palin as a conservative darling, who is now likely to be the favorite for the next Republican nomination, Mitt or Sarah?

Consider: if McCain wins, Sarah Palin is Vice President, for one or two terms. Is it not logical when the big seat opens up, she will go for it? Would she not by definition be the favorite?

If McCain loses, Sarah Palin is not Vice President – but she becomes, almost automatically, a 2012 favorite, right?

Point being, Win or Lose, is not Sarah Palin likely to be in a position – at least equal to Mitt – to claim “favorite” status for the next Republican campaign?

No Question: The Question for us Mitt loyalists is just how profoundly will McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin impact our guy’s national political stock?

First thing First: as a prominent show business agent said in reviewing Sarah Palin’s performance Wednesday evening, “SHE CRUSHED!”
And truly she did.

But even more enjoyable than Palin’s mastery of stage last night was the hilarious glumness and nastiness of the reactions by virtually all the “journalists” on TV: Keith Olberwellian, Chrissy Matthews, Gene Obama Robertson, Rachel Mad-Ow, et. al. all looked and sounded like children who had just lost their best friend.
And maybe they have: little Barack.

“SHE WAS MEAN!”
“SHE WAS NASTY!”
“SHE WAS SARCASTIC!”
“SHE WAS NEGATIVE!”

Exactly.

Translation: she was EFFECTIVE.

Sarah Palin obviously has Democrats scared to death – the most compelling evidence she was a good choice.

However…now comes the hard part: Sarah Palin must now face the Media Assasins without a script, teleprompter, and protection. She will be out there on her own, cross-examined by hardened media killers – every one of whom is seeking a career-making opportunity to be the one who brings her down in flames.

This is why it will take circa 10 days more to know how Sarah Palin truly plays: the first round of post-convention polling, plus her first round of full-contact scrimmages with her sworn blood enemies (MSNBC, CNN, Boston Globe, NY Times, Wash Post, CBS, ABC, et. al.)

That said though, Sarah Palin’s Opening Night was a Smash…in the face of Democrats.

Excelsior!

“GOLLY, DOES SARAH PALIN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE VP?”

This is the mightily disingenuous question the media are asking – after several days of Hammering Sarah Palin and her 17 year old daughter, family, etc.

As previously stated in this space, the personal smear by Obama/Dems vs. Palin is unprecedented – and designed to place stress on her such that she makes a mistake, cries, has an outburst, etc.

Imagine the WorldWide Media smearing your child – and You unable to do anything about it?

Then, under extraordinary stress and fatigue with the eys of the world upon this young mother, she ascends the stage tonight.

WHILE THOSE WHO ARE DOING THIS TO HER SMILE AND ASK
“GOLLY, DOES SARAH PALIN HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?”.

JOURNALISTS.
RHYMES WITH “WHORES”.
