Well, there you have it. Home run. The pressure was on and Sarah Palin delivered. Besides having more executive experience as a Mayor and Governor than either Barack Obama or Joe (she’s good looking) Biden, Palin can deliver a great speech – and she does not need a temple in which to deliver it.

Palin said, “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

Did that smack-down hurt, Obama? Your experience pales in comparison to Palin’s.

Or how about this statement: “I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”

Wow, she is not an insider. That’s got to help her big time with real America.

Then she said, “Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. 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.”

Exactly. We’ve seen how the democrat majority in the House and Senate have screwed things up in the last two years – record gas prices, approval ratings lower than ever, a housing crisis, food costing more than ever, airfares going up 200%, and a “let’s surrender” attitude. We really can’t have the democrats control the White House, too, or the United States will be in deep deep trouble.

So, let’s stop the sexist smears. Palin is very well qualified. She represents real America. Let’s stop the double standard. We’ve seen the likes of the Obama campaign including Joe Biden, their surrogates, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, Katie Couric, Campbell Brown, Alan Colmes, and many others try to damage her. The left doesn’t want her to do well for one reason – she has an “R” after her name.

But get this, one of the latest smears is they have asked the McCain campaign whether Palin’s amniotic fluid had been tested and whether she would submit to a DNA test to establish the child’s parentage.

That’s cheap crap.

But, have they requested DNA tests on Obama’s children, yet? How about DNA tests for John Edwards’ girlfriend’s baby?

We saw the incredible cheap attacks and unsourced stories from the media here in Montana and across the nation in 2006. I believed then that the end was near for real journalism. Now it’s 2008 and I believe that real journalism is on life support and the families have been called to the bedside. The media would rather play “gotcha” these days. Most have agendas and it shows in their reporting.

Tonight Governor Palin gave a great speech. She deserves respect and to have the media concentrate on the issues she supports and does not support. Every female who has ever tried to climb the “all boys” ladder has lost a rung or two because of the reporting on Palin.
