St. Paul (Minnesota), September 4, 2008 - The Democrats have discovered this night that the young governor of Alaska Sarah Palin is a bone harder than expected. The former runner in the contest Miss Alaska, for years mayor of a city from 5,500 inhabitants, was presented to the delegates of the Republican Party gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota, after days of criticism, pivoted by media and professionals for his lack of experience and one thousand troubles of his private and professional life. But on the podium of the convention, and in front of millions of Americans who heard the live TV, has been impeccable and ruthless. “You know what is the difference between a mother who watch children play hockey and a pitbull? - Said to the delegates - The lipstick.” His task was to explain in a credible, because the Republican candidate John McCain has chosen as deputy, instead of a twenty candidates titrated her. Not only did so, but is compared with sarcasm, the democratic candidate Barack Obama.

The result is a speech overwhelming (and very long, 20 minutes) against everything and against all, from Obama that the media treat as a rock star disqualifying his adversaries, of establishment Washington lobbyists to bridges that do not lead anywhere. “I do not go to Washington to have the benefit of journalists - said Palin - I’m going to Washington to serve the Americans.” Attacks against average enough to heat the audience, reduce by a vitriolic speech to the former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani against Obama. And from that moment onwards for Palin is all downhill.

It may grant the luxury of presenting his family, present in the hall, including Bristol, the scandal of the week, five months pregnant and betrothed to strength with the boyfriend Levi, school like her. There is also room in him, and the completion of salt together with the family on stage.

Icon movement Palin, greeted the convention with the newborn son in her arms, suffering from Down’s syndrome. “Trig, a child perfect and beautiful”, had defined in his speech. If McCain has chosen is primarily to gain the favor of a Republican electorate portion essential: the evangelical fundamentalists of the religious right. They are the votes that have ensured the outgoing President George W. Bush his two mandates in Washington.

But the real target of Palin is Obama and his wife Michelle. “Before becoming governor - said to the delegates - was the mayor of my town Wasilla. Our opponents in these elections seem to look at that experience from top to bottom. I want to explain to them what it means to do that work. Mayor a small town is a little ‘as that of a social worker, the difference is only in the fact that you have responsibilities. “

It is the commitment of Obama in poor suburbs south of Chicago. The sarcasm of Palin is in this case perhaps excessive, free irritant. But the ultras Republicans in the hall like.
 

Palin bubble opportunist as the promise of change which speak democrats. Obama, he says, on the word you build a career, while McCain has spent the entire career to change the country. “ Bollata of inexperience, responded with the same currency: “Obama wrote two autobiographies, but no law or significant reform, even in the Senate of Illinois,” he said. “His name is written only on pins and stickers on presidential fake seals, designed by his election committee.”

Focus is also elitist Obama, who has studied in prestigious universities and “that speaks a different language to Scranton (in Pennsylvania worker) and San Francisco.” And ‘the Obama that he does not understand the profound America, America that believes in God and the right to have firearms, the America he calls “change” but in the end of the day decides the presidency.

And ‘the same tone that the first governor of Alaska had used Giuliani, until the bitter wickedness. “And ‘the candidate for the presidency most inexperienced of the last hundred years,” he said “has never been responsible for nothing, has never led a state, a city, has never run a business, has never led people at a time of crisis. “

Palin’s speech is actually the work of Michael Gerson, the speech writer preferred by President George W. Bush during the first mandate and campaign for re-election in 2004.

The unknown about Palin is its impact resistance of press conferences, debates and the consequences of large and small skeletons in its closet, those who have already convinced the bettors to bet on his retirement in the coming weeks. For one night, however, Palin exiting new Republican heroin, the first woman ever nominated for vice-chairmanship in the party.
 

McCain went up on stage convention St. Paul, to collect a standing ovation. The protocol does not provide that the candidate is present at the convention that in the fourth day, but, as it did a week ago, the rival Democrat Barack Obama in Denver after the speech by Joe Biden, his deputy, McCain has made an exception. “I do not think we have done a great choice for vice-presidency?”

When the applause are and direct TV is over, delegates of the convention have voted for the candidacy of McCain and Palin presidential unanimously. “It seemed impossible this year - said the former candidate for the primary Mike Huckabee, the last to surrender - but the media have succeeded with their attacks on Palin and McCain to compact the Republican party.”
