Sarah Palin - The Pit Bull

I'm taking a break from reading to watch the Palin speech. I stopped a little early because Rudy Guiliani was speaking, and I'm glad I did. Rudy's speech was amazing. He and I don't agree on everything politically, but this speech was perfect.

And now, Sarah speaks. Shhh, I'm listening.

The accent is odd to my ear, but the words are pure music. If they let me, I'm going to vote twice or three times.

She's forceful and authentic. She's hitting a little harder at the Dems than I thought she would, but I'm not complaining. As a matter of fact, as she goes on, I'm starting to wear out my hands from clapping. Here, alone in my house, I'm clapping, cheering, and yelling. I liked the choice of Sarah Palin before. Now, I love the choice.

I'm tearing up during the part about McCain's heroism. That stuff gets to me.

I want to end with two quotes I typed quickly during the speech:

"There are those who use change to promote their careers, and there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."

"Do you know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."

More tomorrow.
