Of course most of us (by us I mean rational people), have the same views of the Republican party before Governor Palin was elected Vice presidential candidate. As we can see from the very poll on this board senator Palin was deemed a failure, and was a poor exuse for McCain's lack of extended demographics.

The Republican party has succeded in a political miracle. Not by the works of a presidential candite who seemed to be mundane, and just.. well old.. But rather the Vice Presidential candidate. At first she recieved rather bad perception.. Unexperienced, only 2 years of experience, etc. But issues popped up. The big issue, her teenage daughter having a baby.

What did this one issue do? There hasn't been so much publicity for a vice president in at least 100 years. Biden was barely on the news and media was reporting stories such as "Should the teen pregnancy issue be brought up!?" Before you knew it she gave her first speech on the GOP. Her speech was written by the same writers that wrote George Bush's speech. The next morning new everywhere proclaiming "Perfect populist pitch!" "Sways clinton voters!"

So did the republican party pick Palin, because they knew she would be in constant media? Did they know almost the same number of people watched the Palin speech, as the Obama speech? In short Palin gave the people what they wanted, and on the turn of the century it seems a vice presidencial candidate has connected the dots for the republicans.. The polls are even now, the Republicans actually have a chance.. She gave the people what they wanted, creationalism in school, the clinton appeal, the "perfect populist pitch". Did the republicans give the people what they wanted, or what they needed? Either way a Republican miracle.
