The Big Speech
Sarah’s big night is tonight. My guess is that she’s going to hit a home run with her speech. She speechifies well (although her voice can go a bit high) and she’s got the some of the best speechwriters in nation working on her speech. This is her big moment and I don’t think she’ll flop.
I’ve concluded one thing from the Sarah-mania that has gripped the nation since Friday morning - the conservatives and evangelical wing of the Republican party were desperate for a new face. I don’t think anyone, including the Republicans themselves, had any idea just how desperate they were. The media, with the ever hungry maw, is also ecstatic.
Hello. I am 
I’m conservative, but not right wing religious. I did not feel a deep burning need for a new face. Where are you getting that?
The religious right (which you’re not) are absolutely thrilled by her - she meets their requirements, plus she’s new, attractive, and speaks well. They haven’t had anything like this for a long time.
