Nasty, nasty, nasty

I was really surprised. She is an engaging person, but in her first speech of any magnitude on a national stage, she was so mean spirited. I can't see how the McCain campaign can keep up this "poor Sarah attacked by the evil media" line going.

McCain has obviously decided to go all in with the culture wars via 2004. I think the problem is that a good chunk of the culture warriors from that time have realized that it doesn't solve anything.

Obama has a ready made "more of the same" line thanks to this speech. I think they were trying to make him go on the attack against Palin, but I'll be money that both he and Biden are going to hang this speech around McCain's neck.
