It's time to stop underestimating the opposition, as I've mentioned on several other threads.

It seems Palin's speech was pitch-perfect for the occasion.   Most important was her description of herself as not a politician but the mother of a veteran.

That will resonate across the whole US.

Mudcatters may enjoy demonizing her, but when you finish that you'd best start to grapple with her appeal--to a huge number of people, it's real.

LA Times: she already has over 2 million followers on Facebook. Probably not all of them are Mudcatters attacking her.

Hasn't the Left learned anything from dealing with Reagan and GWB?
