Hurricane Sarah

Wolf Blitzer said it best "she hit it out of the park...". This has been a complete turnabout from the last few days. Palin had been rocked by bad press regarding her family, personal choices and her politics. McCain looked like he had made a strategic blunder of epic proportions.

After her speech Sarah Palin is now a threat to the Democratic ticket, and worse, a threat to Hillary Clinton. She was poised and effective. The base loved her and many are giving her a look that made some wonder why she wasn't at the top of the ticket.

I fully expect an onslaught that will exceed the one that took down Dan Quayle. Yes, his ticket won 40 states but he never was much of a threat after that. Watch for the reverse Bill Clinton treatment for a while: Bill was pounded early on by the media only to become its darling. She might see some nice treatment for a while (not the case early on, of course) but their will be a build up to destruction. Great time for prayers for Mrs. Palin.
