I've post this here and in the John McCain VP thread. Though linked its really a seperate observation.
Last evening as I watched our future Vice President deliver her flawless introduction speech; I was amazed at how unaffected she was and how confidently she present not only herself, but her family, her roots, her knowledge of being underestimated and the opprotunity it presented. It was a beautiful thing to witness. Total control!
After the speech, I was shocked at what occurred on CNN. They did not know what to do. Rather then address what and how she had presented herself, they went on break. Wolf Blizer was tongue tied. He realized that his all-star line up of commentators were confused, befuddled. This illustrious group was caught off guard, they were expecting Dan Quail and were lock and loaded for the kill. Instead they were presented with a Trumanisque persona and they surrendered. Wolf Blizer suggested we watch the band; as they retreated and had to rethink and rewrite their bias opinion counter arguments. CNN WENT ON BREAK. That tells me that its over, she is the real deal and the democratic party is in disarray.
Their media attacked what they have always said was of the most cherished symbols: Women.
And it backfired on them. They tried to attack her experience; and that backfired on them. (I think one of my favorite Mayors put an end to that idea.) They attempted to pigeon hole her as hockey mom, and that backfired on them. What was the line? Lipstick = bull’s-eye.
I would expect over the next nine weeks to see the media focus its attention on any possible scandal that they can inflate, or create while she was Governor of Alaska. I expect them to challenge the past eight years of economic issues and President Bushs leadership. I believe it will be an attempt to refocus their position of attack, linking the McCain ticket to the previous administration. It too will backfire, as the party is no longer the party of George Bush. It is the party of John S. McCain; and John McCain has shown us two remarkable executive dicisions in this election cycle: He was right on the surge and he was right on Governor Palin. Its Done!
