Pandering? LOL! THAT is just it - THAT is the horrific problem the Liberals now know they face! Everything you just described about Palin is not some act - it's all true! It IS Palin! She nailed it when she said politicians have to walk in and try to convince the voters that they are just like them. Millionaires must try to convince blue collar people they 'feel their pain' and are just like them...when everyone KNOWS they aren't! NOT Palin - she IS one of us! She is the all American mom who drives her kids to hockey, and hunts, and makes moose stew. And she puts a cold beer in her hubbys lap after he mows the lawn. And she has 5 kids.. and the Liberals have no clue what to do about the selection of a REAL person, not a party-1st political insider being selected!

She is also everything that womens' rights actiists, who Limbaugh calls 'femini-Nazis', have been preaching about and fighting forfor years; yet, if you have been paying attention you will have seen these same womens' liber-ers attacking her for being everything they have fought FOR! Thus the next threat to Liberals - Palin exposes their hypocrisy and breaks down/exposes all the lying stereotypes the Liberals have been trying to paint the GOP as for years!

And by gosh she id down to earth, she is a woman of the people 1st and not of any party 1st! That scares the h@ll out of the Liberals - they can't comprehend it!

It's not pandering! Pandering is Obama going to some rural community, kissing babies and smiling, lying his @$$ off, as exposed then by making fun of those same people the next week while politicking somewhere else, talking about how those people are 'bitter and cling to their guns and religion'! Palin exposed Obama as being a two-faced, two-bit carney/snake oil salesman while she herself is refreshingly 'of the people'!

I thought McCain was daft when I first heard the selection for a running mate he had made. I see now, after tonight though, how brilliant he was! She is talented, smart, and is 'America 1st', not 'Party 1st'. Most importantly, she is 'one of us'! Obama can NOT say that...and HIS VP selection is on record as saying Obama is inexperienced, not ready to be POTUS, and that he would like to be running as McCain's VP!
