‘A SERVANT’S HEART’ By Peggy Noonan
“Obama, Palin really damaged him.” “By the end, (of the speech) Democrats knew they had been dinged, and badly.” “They seemed like they were thinking, “I’ve seen this movie before and it doesn’t end well.” The speech, “It was the old-time conservatism.”
“A friend IM’d the day after Palin’s speech, and I told him of an inexplicable sense of foreboding. He surprised me by saying he shared it. “Calling all underworlds reporting for duty!,” he wrote. “The bed is about to fly around the room, the puke is about to come out.” He meant: this campaign is going to engage unseen powers and forces. He meant: this campaign, this beautiful golden thing with two admirable men at the top and two admirable vice presidential candidates, is going to turn dark.
This campaign is about to become: epic.”

SARAH PALIN: IT’S GO WEST, TOWARDS THE FUTURE OF CONSERVATISM – By Gerard Baker, Times on Line
“Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that.”
“What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let’s be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy”. “The other kills her own food.”
“It never ceases to amaze me how the Left falls again and again into the old trap of underestimating politicians whom they don’t understand.”
“The contrast with Mr Obama is especially powerful. The very fact that Mrs Palin didn’t go to elite schools but succeeded nonetheless – the very ordinariness with which she so piquantly jabbed Mr Obama on Wednesday – is what will make her so appealing to Americans. And as a pro-life conservative she debunks in one swoop the enduring myth that all women subscribe to the obligatory nostrums of radical feminism.”
“The opportunity for McCain-Palin is not reaction, but reform – a reform rooted in a distant conservatism that could be due for a comeback.”
“With the moose-hunting, establishment-taunting Mrs Palin at his side, Mr McCain might represent a bigger change than the one that his opponents are offering.”

OPRAH TO PALIN: STAY AWAY, GIRL
“The line from Oprahma’s camp is that she simply wishes to maintain political neutrality during the election season; a peculiar claim in light of her unabashed support for the Democratic candidate.”

PALIN VETOED LAW AGAINST GAY MARRIAGES IN ALASKA – WorldNetDaily
Hmmm – “Alaska legislators passed a law to prevent any changes from being made that legitimized homosexual marriage in the state. Gov. Palin vetoed the law, and in effect granted marriage benefits to state employees and their partners.” (Sounds like McCain)

THE MCCAIN-PALIN TICKET RENEWS THE CULTURE WARS by Deal Hudson
“Nomination of Sarah Palin actually brings a different aspect of the culture wars into the presidential campaign: It represents the rejection of the feminist movement and all the promises made in its name.”

MCCAIN TO MAKE FULL-THROTTLE PUSH FOR CATHOLIC VOTE – National Catholic Reporter
Leading Republicans here insist that the Democrats’ (and Obama’s) embrace of abortion rights will alienate core Catholic voters, much as it has in recent elections. The question is how much abortion will figure among other issues in voters’ decisions. The McCain strategy to hold on to the Catholic vote is really quite simple. “The strategy,” he said, “is God.”
