Palin is the New Star in the GOP

I think we might be able to look at last nights speech by Gov. Palin and say that it was similar to Ronald Reagan at the 1964 GOP convention speech.  An unknown getting up there in front of the glare of millions and giving the speech of her life.  

She was scrappy, a fighter, folksy, funny, and doesn't look like she would back down from anyone. All this talk of her going head-to-head with Putin and breaking under his ice-blue KGB gaze is just talk.  I can see her not giving an inch to Russian aggression and keeping a firm line on nukes with Iran.  

You can even hear Al-Quida and other women haters in the Middle East quaking in their boots. Palin shows that women can not only drive a car and show their faces in public but they can be next in line for the most powerful job in the world.  I actually feel sorry for Biden because I think has more then he reckoned with in the VP debate.

It seemed like one of those moments that is the culmination of everything she has done professionally up to that point.  If she failed she drags down McCain and pretty much ends her national political career.  Instead she gave one of the great convention speeches of all time and has *arrived* on the national stage. Mark my words, she won't just be the first female VP she will be the first female President as well.  

Watch out Vlady that don't call her Barracuda for nothing.
