Well if She Doesn't Win In America, She Could Rule Alberta

Sarah Palin has a huge set.

Of cahones, you perverts.

This girl's speechwriter deserves a HUGE raise. Because her words have raised ranks of walking-dead Republicans that we all love to hate. I've never seen so many standing ovations, starting with a three minute standing ovation before the governor of Alaska could even begin speaking.

Her speech at the Republican National Convention ran the entire range of topics and tones, from her introducing her husband (a world champion snowmobile driver) and her oldest son (deploying to Iraq on September 11th) to taking barely-veiled potshots at Barack Obama's coronation (her question of what Obama would do after his styrofoam Greek columns were returned to a Hollywood studio was priceless) and his lack of record ("he's authored two books, but not a single law").

Truly showing her stripes, she remarked that while John McCain would defend the country from Al Quaida, Barack Obama (though she never used his name) would be more concerned about reading terrorists their rights. She could very well fit in with the Alberta rednecks that I know.

It barely felt like 40 minutes - she is a decent speaker that was able to keep this cynic (and probable future Democrat) truly entertained. I can't help but wonder just what kind of turn these campaigns are going to take.
