Sir, I agree. The GOP convention wasn't going well. McCain was my first choice but it was clear that many other Republicans still had many reservations. Gov. Palin burst upon the scene like a cascade of sunlight. Her speech was the best I heard from a convention floor since 1984.
It was clear that she didn't have the educational pedigree of a typical Beltway politician, that she was more concerned with serving her constituents than what people half way around the world thought of her, and that, what ever her own preference, she had the wisdom to check with her advisers first before making a decision.
To me, Gov. Palin is admirable because she is comfortable in her own skin and doesn't feel the need to convince her supporters or her critics that she's something she's not. I'd feel much better if the president-elect were to take a lesson from her.
