Governor Palin Is Formidable!

Well for those of us who had never heard the name Sarah Palin a week ago; we've had a crash course this week from the media and without a better way to describe the position the Republicans were in this week: the Republicans needed twice the sex with half the fore-play when it came to Gov. Palin and after her speech last night Americans learned that she's not one to be underestimated and if Democrats are underestimating her, the result will be dire.

Meeting Sarah Palin
Not only is she easy on the eyes-like a more conservative, slightly hotter, older version of Tina Fey (from 3rd Rock & SNL). In fact, I look for SNL to bring Tina Fey back for a "Hockey Mom" skit, with Tina portraying Gov. Palin. I digress; tonight you learned that she is articulate, Palin's voice has a mid-western familiarity that will appeal to many swing states. Her family is f'ed up which will resonate to a majority of American families with similiar "challenging" blacksheep issues. She introduced us to her family (with 5 kids) with one having down-syndrome (giving special needs families in America an advocate in the White House. And the line about her husband Todd, that "he is still my guy" kicks back to strength in marriage and the age old quest for true love. She could have left the remark about his package out of the speech, but hey they have five kids, look I get it: there's not many extracurricular activities in Alaska, so you have the two-f's (fishing and fornicating). Finally, she hunts moose and is a life-long member of the NRA; which will obviously appeal to the guns and God crowd.

Caveat
The only caveat I can see for Republicans is for the Rudys, Mitts, Thompsons and whomever else will seek the Republican's presidential nomination (under the premise that the McCain and Palin ticket doesn't win in November) Governor Sarah Palin will be the heir apparent as the next Republican president.
