If the McCain-Palin ticket become the next administration then it is probable that tonight’s speech kicked off that possibility.  Sarah Palin is now a name in American History and because of that, another mozaic in this year’s election drama.  Her small town gal with high school sweetheart-union husband, world champion avocatist, special needs child, pregnant teenage daughter with boyfriend (chewing gum) at her side, parents together, played so well to America, even me.  She is the Republican Party’s elder statesman for two or three generations to come, and watch her enlisted children grow into their roles.  This is the truth whether McCain wins or loses.  That is his legacy…he has coronated the next leader of his party, whether next year or in 3 when it is time to announce her candidacy. 

It was said earlier in the evening that “it is not eloquence we need right now it is record.”  I disagree.  I think we should have a spokesman for our country one who can deliver a message no matter what the circumstances.  Sarah Palin delivered her message and while I do not trust her experience to make all right choices, I do trust she will learn and be ready.  However, Senator Obama has been running a campaign in an extraordinary manner which created his nomination, and part of that winning strategy was to speak eloquently and take the high road at all times.  I think he’d make a remarkable leader of the Free World.
