Sarah Palin is terrific. 

The contest has changed.  Her character and candor have changed it, and John McCain's judgment is vindicated.   The speech overflowed with tough, pointed, true points:

"Some candidates use change to promote their careers.  John McCain has used his career to promote change. "

"The presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.."

"There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you."

"The special confidence of those who have seen evil and have seen how evil is overcome."

This will be a magnificent campaign, and she a magnificent candidate. 

UPDATE:  Former LA Times' MSMer Bill Lobdell:  "I’m guessing Jack Bauer of “24? would vote for Gov. Palin."  Read his whole live blog.
