She Had Us at "Can I Call You Joe?"

Sarah Palin once again exhibited those traits that have made her so popular with Americans: plain-spoken, warm, and an outsider's perspective on domestic and foreign policy. 

While Joe Biden looked tired in his witless attacks on President Bush, who, last I checked was not on the ballot in 2008, Governor Palin spoke directly to the people.  At times, I forgot that Gwen Ifill and Joe Biden were even in the room.  So did Sarah. 

Senator McCain will need a better performance Tuesday night for him to catch Obama nationally.  But, for now, the Palin Power movement will continue.
