Sarah Palin delivered a remarkable speech tonight. She presented herself and her family to America just as they are: a typical family, with its ups and downs. A poignant moment came near the beginning with the encomium Palin offered for her eldest son Track who will be heading out to Iraq in a week or so. “I’m just one of many moms who will say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way.” The euphoric crowd gave Track a great ovation. She also mercilessly ripped into Barack Obama for, among many things too numerous to number, his effete reference to "personal discovery" when talking about running for the presidency. She stripped the thin veneer of "experience" and "change" from the neophyte Chicago politician and successfully made the case for true leadership and real change. "In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."
Say hello to the new feminism.
