UPDATE: Palin hit a homerun. She was poised, funny and presidential. Ouch Dems, how many people watched this due to the personal attacks? More to come. 

 Sarah Palin’s speech tonight could decide whether or not John McCain can prevail in this election. Yes, her selection was a gamble. We will see tonight if that gamble pays off. She can either win or lose this election for the Republicans. Let’s hope she does well, not only for the McCain ticket, but to vindicate herself in the face of an unprecedented wave of ugly and vicious attacks against her and her children. Go get ‘em Sarah Barracuda!

Dems: Prepare to reap the whirlwind!
