"The Obama campaign reported that it had received $8 million in online contributions from more than 130,000 donors after Ms. Palin’s addresss, and it is on pace to collect $10 million by the time Mr. McCain takes the stage later in the evening."
The energized Republican party? Not so much--one million dollars since then. It looks like Palin will energize at least one party's base, though probably not the one her handlers thought.
