Its the noise that the irrational left makes when a smart, likable, funny, composed, competent and conservative woman like Sarah Palin hits a political grand slam in her first at bat.
And the anger in that sputtering is a result of the recognition deep down that she exposed Mr Obama's great weakness. How better to do so than with her line that 'A mayor is like a community organizer WITH RESPONSIBILITIES!' That is a two-edged sword that goes right to the heart of both his inexperience and her experience.
No doubt some on the left are taking comfort from the belief that it was only the rabid right wingers at the Convention who were impressed. But as with so many other things, they are wrong. People in towns and cities across the US know the real thing when they see it--and they saw it last night and it is going to make a difference. Just watch.
