The political impact of Sarah Palin continues to be hazy -- she's clearly revved up the Republican base, and helped McCain's campaign bring in more than $10 million since she was announced as his running mate.
But the Palin pick seems to be having a virtually identical effect on the Democratic base. Activists have frenetically picked apart Palin's record over the last week, and an Obama aide told the Huffington Post that the Obama campaign has raised $8 million since her speech last night "from over 130,000 donors - on pace to hit $10 million by the time John McCain hits the stage tonight."

WGB: Well yeah, duh....we don't want another fucking redneck in the Whitehouse. Enough is enough of this Nascar loving, tobacco chewing, gun swinging, bible thumping, gay hating, yankee doodle dandy shit y'all!

Sarah Palin is nothing - she's energising the gay hating, abortion ignorant, gun toting base of the Republicans but she's also energised the Democratic base. Once the whole Palin shock has faded, people will see that she is just another Bush minion and is bad, bad news for the US.
The Republican convention has been pathetic, too. Their message is fear and division, meted out by farcical speakers through snark and sarcasm. It's awful compared to the DNC in Denver.
Running scared from what? Have the Republicans said anything of substance in the last week? This is unbelieveable! A vacuous, cultural wingnut parachutes in and all of sudden Dems are talking about defeat. The only thing she is good at is smiling for the camera and making snide comments….we already had that with Cheney (although he snarled at the camera).
Enough!
