Sarah Palin’s speech was simply electrifying.

I cannot express the excitement in the room as a woman accepts the Republican nomination for Vice President. This woman represents not only the future of our party, but also a lot of history of the party which has led the way for freedom. I was proud to be a Republican tonight.

John McCain made the right choice. Sarah Palin was as beautiful as always, with a visible intelligence and command of the issues. With each jab at Barack Obama and Joe Biden, she demonstrated that she is an articulate, powerful woman without being masculine, overly aggressive, or whiny. She would be a remmarkeable Vice President and set a fine precedent for capable women in the highest government posts in the land. Women everywhere should be proud of the ground she is breaking for them.

Though Sarah Palin started this week as the unknown factor, she has quickly established herself as one of the most exciting and promising Republican leaders in the country. Her appeal was so strong, she had the audience on their feet for multiple ovations, she had them booing at everyone from the media to the Democrats, and she had them inspired. While some may have been skeptical at the beginning of the speech, they were won over by the end. She inspired because she gave Republicans something to be proud of and she explained the Republican platform in a manner that makes sense. Her clear enunciation of the principles that Republicans hold dear is exactly what Americans need to hear. The Republican party is full if ideas and stood in stark contrast tonight to the Democrats who have talked a big game, but failed to pull through. Big ideas can get results, but only with the right people behind them. Sarah Palin tonight showed everyone in the XCel Energy Center in St. Paul that she has the right stuff to see those big ideas get the support they need. She, along with John McCain, are a ticket of change, reform, and service. That is a powerful combination and one that will not be ignored come November.
