The Budding of a Political Star

In the months since Sarah Palin was selected as John McCain's running mate, we've seen her go from one who was very comfortable making a speech and wowed the country when addressing them from the GOP convention but not as sharp with the minutiae of daily politics in interviews to someone who seems very comfortable in her role.

Of late, Palin is the only one talking with the press it seems and on the stump is constantly hammering the Obama/Palin cabal into submission. She jumps on every misstep and slams them the next day with a smile and a twinkle in her eye.

In doing so, she has managed to become the savior of the GOP and the most hated Republican by liberals since George W. Bush actually still mattered. Check out this:



She's as good at speaking with an audience as Bill Clinton in his prime and absolutely blows Obama away when connecting. She leaves Biden and McCain in the dust and has cemented herself as the GOP standard bearer going into 2012.

How ironic it is that the woman to watch in modern politics is a mother from Alaska who was written off as a joke just months ago. Imagine how good she'll be when she actually has time to grasp every nuance of foreign and domestic policy. Obama versus Palin in 2012 is looking like a brutal affair and the future of the GOP has been turned on its head in a matter of weeks.

Update: Yeah, she's scaring the shit out of the lefties, to the point of insanity:
