Palin Power from Jim Geraghty at NRO today:
Palin isn't weighing down McCain; she's what’s keeping him in the game...
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin brings Saturday Night Live its best ratings in 14 years.
She drew 10,000 to an airplane hangar in Roswell, New Mexico. (Insert alien-babe joke here.)
She drew 24,000 to Noblesville, Indiana, and 6,500 to an airplane hangar in Bangor, Maine.
She drew 10,000 to Salem, New Hampshire, the same day that Obama was in the same state in Londonderry and drew a little over 4,000.
No offense to any of the other running mate possibilities, but do you think any other pick by McCain would have drawn 60,000 to The Villages in Florida?
You think it's strictly coincidence that almost 70 million people watched the vice-presidential debate? You think Joe Biden is the reason it outdrew all of the Obama-McCain debates?
And, as noted in the sidebar, Gov. Palin pulled in an additional 11,000 people in Colorado Springs today. (I tried to find a Biden event to compare it to, but he hasn't been in Colorado since Greek Columns were in vogue.)
I particularly liked this quote from the Colorado Springs article. Remember how Peggy Noonan bemoaned Gov. Palin's ability to inspire voters?
Three generations of Colorado Springs women - Suzie Sanderson, 50, daughter Misty Terry, 27, and grand-daughter Sydney, 3, came out to see Palin. Terry, whose husband is a disabled veteran, said that "the best thing McCain could've done" was pick Palin.
Her mother, Sanderson, agreed
As Sarah Palin was inspiring three generations of women in Colorado, 99.8% of the country had still never heard of Peggy Noonan's memoir: "What I saw at the Revolution."
