Buchanan On Palin
"ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The American Right has just died and gone to heaven.
Last night's convention address by Sarah Palin here in St. Paul has confirmed the bold decision of John McCain to choose the Alaska governor as his co-pilot and united the Republican Party as it has not been since the second term of Ronald Reagan.
A wild enthusiasm for Sarah Palin has brought conservatives home to John McCain, and GOP leaders of all hues -- from Fred Thompson to Mitt Romney to Mike Huckabee to Rudy Giuliani -- to the rostrum to lacerate the liberal media for their five days of feral assaults on Sister Sarah.
The war the right lives for, against the people the right truly loathes -- the liberal media elite who savagely "Bork" every true conservative who gets on the path to national power -- has been reignited.
Positive polarization has been achieved. The Republican Party has been united and invigorated. The enthusiasm gap with the Democratic ticket has been closed. And the issues upon which the base loves to fight -- the Culture War and Right to Life -- are back on the table.
Palin's beautifully crafted and delivered acceptance speech, after Rudy's gleeful excoriations of the pretensions of Obama, will rank as a night to remember in convention history..."

IMAO: Can You Believe Democrats Actually Thought We CARED about Obama's "Lack of Experience"?
"Sorry, Losercrats, we didn't. That was just a handy catchphrase to pummel him with. A convenient comedic device that we're willing to defenestrate now that we can't use it without looking like douchebags.
Here's the truth.
What really matters to Conservatives about their candidates is their ability to make decisions under pressure, their ability to stand by those decisions, and their willingness to accept the consequences - however bad they may be - and also accept the responsibility of making new decisions to address those consequences, as necessary.
I don't know a lot about McCain's political career, but I *do* know that he was a Naval officer. Having served under my share of them (U.S. Navy, 85 to 91, USS Enterprise 87 to 91), I know that McCain's been trained in accountability.
While I don't know a lot about Palin, it seems she's done a good job staring down the forces of corruption in Alaskan gubernatorial politics. She's made hard calls and stood by them while facing down angry men.
The essence of a good Commander-in-Chief is that he can look some ass**** right in the eye, tell him to go f*** himself, and not blink while doing so, if that's what he honestly believes - to the best of his knowledge - is the right thing to do in order to further the goals of America's interests, whether domestically or overseas.
I don't think Obama has the stones to do that.
I KNOW McCain has them.
And I suspect that - while not technically stones - Palin's titanium ovaries are equally qualified."
