Not because she abolished the GOP's best arguement against Obama with lack of experience (her only serving for 1.5 years... in ALASKA).
Not because she called Hillary Clinton a 'whiner.'
But because last night in Barack Obamas historic speech, he gave John Mccain exactly 19 knock-out punches that linked him to Bush and the politics of the past. And what does Mccain do? Respomd punch for punch why he ISNT like Bush? NO. He leaped off a political bridge picking 44 year old Palin, with 1.5 years experience, and tried to frame her as 'fresh and new' (which are essentially the very things he attacked Obama on). So basically, instead of using news coverage to dispute Obamas attacks, he used the time to drive them in even further by basically admitting that his weakness is his old politics, and therefore could not win unless he made a radical choice in Palin. While the message that will linger among voters politically will be Obamas (undisputed) attacks. Can you tell me ONE way today the GOP defended these attacks?
