And that, I think, is the whole point here. Prior to Palin, the GOP was looking at yet another old-white-guy ticket unless McCain stepped beyond what was expected and grabbed someone who could provide some energy.
As we saw last night, "energy" is NOT McCain's middle name. So like her or not, Palin injected electricity into that convention just by coming across as an everyday person who understands what Mrs. Average Voter goes through in our daily lives and offering the "freshness" that comes with not being part of the Washington Beltway.
Before Palin, this could well have been a walkthrough for Obama. It still may be, but the odds have evened up a bit.
