Markedly higher poll figures for McCain clearly show--at this point--
that his choice of Sarah Palin was a brilliant political move. �She
may slip badly and become a liability, but right now she has energized
the Republican religious base, �is appealing to women, �has added
tremendous interest to the bland McCain candidacy, and has transformed
the momentum of the campaign. �She is sexy, energetic, and speaks very
well. �Her biography and family are appealing. �She is extremely right
wing on Fundamentalist issues and has thereby given some props to
wishy washy McCain. �She may not be the reformer that she claims, but
she is certainly more of a reformer than the Democratic opposition.
It is indeed possible that Palin will win the election for McCain and
the Republicans. �I am not saying this would be a good thing.
