Palin delivers

After the three fairly strong speeches by former Governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, and former NYC Mayor, Rudy Guiliani, VP hopeful Sarah Palin, took center stage and not only delivered the goods, but exceeded expectations. Her no nonsense approach won over delegates last night during her acceptance speech at the RNC. Palin delivered a perfect populist message, conservative style, if such a thing exists. Championing low taxes, fiscal and personal responsibility, national security, and energy independence, Palin gave conservatives something they haven't had in a long time: hope. Ann Coulter described her this way: "Palin was chosen because she's pro-life, pro-gun, pro-drilling and pro-tax cuts. She's fought both Republicans and Democrats on public corruption and does not have hair plugs like some other vice presidential candidate anyone could mention. In other words, she's a 'Republican.'" One delegate called her the "new" Goldwater. Another delegate called her the "new" Reagan. Still another delegate summarized it this way: "she's part Goldwater, part Reagan, and all conservative"...CNN senior political sized up Palin this way: "How can anyone be chosen VP who has never appeared on 'Meet the Press'...All of the top CNN political analysts, save Paul Begala, gave Palin an "A" for her speech last night.
