Tonight, Sarah Palin is going to tip the balance in this election to John McCain. Here is how:
First, zillions of people are going to be watching to find out who she is. Most of them did not see her speech when John McCain introduced her as his running mate. So what they know is mostly what the MSM has told them--in short, they will have low expectations (thanks MSM and left-wing bloggers).
Secondly, she is then going to give a great speech. She will say lots of reasonable things; she will be extremely likable; she will be very much an 'everywoman'; and, most importantly, she will make those zillions of Americans say, "Whoa! She is ready be VP. They will conclude she is no shrinking violet and will look forward to her debate with 'Slow' Joe Biden. (And it will become clear that Sarah Biden is the true blue collar candidate in this election--not Joe Biden (who clearly grew up middle class or better and keeps his blue collar rep simply cuz the MSM are in his corner).
