I am amazed there are so many people and the media that was bowled over by Palin's speech. It was essentially her brief introduction and then lots of lies and mockery about Obama. Also she seemed to have a tinny voice. However I agree she is easy on the eyes and I guess she benefitted from an initial low expectations. Then when the party faithful discovered she can deliver a sarcastic speech with the right inflections they went ga ga. George W was also a beneficiary of low expectations in 2000.

While the Republican party should be commended for selecting a Female VP candidate, its unfortunate that they selected a woman with such extreme views when there were so many other deserving and more experienced women in the party.
