“Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will spend two days with ABC News crews later this week as part of a McCain campaign plan to increase Americans’ comfort with her as a leader. The anchorman will get extensive, repeated access to Palin throughout her first trip home since becoming the nominee. No topics are off-limits – there are no ground rules.”

MCCAIN NOW WINNING MAJORITY OF INDEPENDENTS

THE MATRIARCHY IS AGHAST – George Jonas, National Post
“The U. S. election of 2008 is shaping up as a contest about a vice-president—possibly a first in America. In the space of one weekend, Gov. Palin caused the sisterhood to metamorphose into veritable replicas of Boticelli’s Madonna. The wounded cry, “But what about the children?” echoed all over the land. The feminist housefrau emerged like a butterfly from the caterpillar of the professional woman. Overnight, a trickle of motherhood in feminism’s mainstream turned into a torrent. It isn’t known exactly when the feminist vanguard made this momentous discovery, but they came out with it last week. Their conclusion wasn’t wrong; it was only slightly suspect that the revelation should strike them just as the rifle-toting hockey mom, Senator John McCain’s beauty-contestant running mate of a float-plane-piloting moose-burger-chef, got on the Republican ticket.”
“Sadly, this election has become all about the rights of the unborn, and not about the rights of the born,” a correspondent wrote to me. Well, I don’t know: The born can at least vote and write letters to the editor. The unborn can only kick, squirm, and wonder whether Mommy grants them vacuum suction or life. As an ex-fetus, in this predicament I’d like a pitbull on my side.”

SARAH PALIN GETS THE SPITEFUL MARGARET THATCHER TREATMENT – Janet Daly in the London Telegraph
“It took about 20 minutes after John McCain announced her as his running mate for the attack machine to mobilise: woman candidate (bleep, bleep), no previous warning (nee-naw, nee-naw), exterminate, exterminate.”
“Like Margaret Thatcher before her, Mrs Palin is coming in for both barrels of Left-wing contempt: misogyny and snobbery. Where Lady Thatcher was dismissed as a “grocer’s daughter” by people who called themselves egalitarian, Mrs Palin is regarded as a small-town nobody by those who claim to represent “ordinary people”.
“What the metropolitan sophisticates failed to understand in the 1980s when Thatcher won election after election is even more the case in the US: most (and I do mean most) ordinary people actually believe in the basic decencies, the “small-town values”, of family, marital fidelity, and personal responsibility. They believe in and honour them – even if they do not manage to uphold them.”

AMERICA’S MOMENT OF TRUTH – Conrad Black in the National Post
“‘This is the most important election in the world since the rise of Ronald Reagan in 1980’ The vice-presidential candidacy of Sarah Palin is, in part, an effort to wrest the leadership of the feminist movement from the elite and militant left, and to put it in the hands of a silent majority of relatively traditional but ambitious women. It is a bold move to try to separate abortion from other issues generally associated with women’s rights.”

WHY THEY HATE HER
“Sarah Palin is a smart missile aimed at the heart of the left” by Jeffrey Bell, The Weekly Standard
“The rollout of the Sarah Palin vice presidential candidacy may be regarded decades from now as a nationally shared Rorschach test of enormous cultural significance.”
“From the instant of Palin’s designation on Friday, August 29, the American left went into a collective mass seizure from which it shows no sign of emerging.”
“The most important thing to know about the left today is that it is centered on social issues. At root, it always has been, ever since the movement took form and received its name in the revolutionary Paris of the 1790s. In order to drive toward a vision of true human liberation, all the institutions and moral codes we associate with civilization had to be torn down.”
“The simple fact of her being a pro-life married mother of five with a thriving political career was—before anything else about her was known—enough for the left and its outliers to target her for destruction.”

LIBERAL MELTDOWN – Canada Free Press
“In a delicious stroke of cosmic justice, it seems that the left, not the earth, is in meltdown stage. The sacred pillars of liberal orthodoxy are in the process of losing their underpinnings and it is not a pretty sight.”
“With the nomination of Barack and Sarah, three major industries and shibboleths of the left, feminism, racism and the media are losing their clout, big time. The presidential race of 2008 will go down in history as a turning point – as the pivotal event that exposed the shallowness of liberal policies, institutions and people.”

AS PUBLIC SERVANT, PALIN ALSO TRIES TO SERVE GOD
“The churches that Sarah has attended all believe in a literal translation of the Bible.” “Her principal ethical and moral beliefs stem from this.” “In the address at the Assembly of God Church in Wasilla, Palin’s ease in talking about the intersection of faith and public life was clear.” She also told the group that her eldest child, Track, would soon be deployed by the U.S. Army to Iraq and that they should pray “that our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God – that’s what we have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan, and that plan is God’s plan.”

PALIN BASHING PRESS KEEPS SWINGING AND MISSING – Jonah Goldberg, National Review
“One good barometer of conservative support: Rush Limbaugh, who is rumored to kick his cat across the room in rage when he hears the name “McCain,” now calls the Arizona senator “John McBrilliant.”
“One partial explanation for the feeding frenzy is the bowel-stewing fear among an Obamaphilic press corps that Palin might actually help McCain win. But another part of the answer is that the press was simply surprised. Cockroaches scatter when shocked by a flipped light switch. Grizzly bears attack when startled. And when caught napping by big news, the press corps floods the zone. Editors scream at underlings who missed the story. Many of those who expected Palin to withdraw see her values and her choices as proof of a mental problem. If you’re pro-life, or even just a Republican, you’re not a real woman, you’re suffering from some sort of pernicious gender confusion.”
