The latest CBS News poll shows the race for President tied -- and that was the day before Gov. Palin's electrifying speech. Look for a big, continuing bounce for McCain-Palin.
How is Sarah's magnificent performance playing in Alaska? The following is from the Anchorage Daily News (www.adn.com):
Palin electrifies Republican conventionGov. Sarah Palin introduced herself to the nation Wednesday night as a small-town hockey mom with backbone who cleaned up Alaska and tried to sell Frank Murkowski's jet on eBay.
If you'd like to see me debating two liberal Democrats on KDKA-TV, here's a link to Thursday night’s RNC chat: http://kdka.com/video/?id=45870@kdka.dayport.com. Note: I won.
I'm fascinated by the number of Democrats -- dozens -- writing to me who no longer consider themselves members of that Party. An important participant in a big Yahoo Group, Mentis, sent me the following.
"I'm a Hillary supporter who went Independent, and will be voting for McCain rather than support Nobama. John made a good choice in Palin. She has executive experience... unlike both Nobama, and Biden. I've been Dem most of my life, but I put country above party, and have to go with the best candidates...which-this time around-happen to be GOP. John has built a ticket which can save us from Nobama's racist, anti-American, terrorist-supported agenda. Way to go!"
More on Friday from former Democrats . . . may their numbers increase like the numbers of fish in the sea . . .

Sarah Palin You'll Hear Tonight
I wish Gov. Palin, who's a heroine to me, all the best in her acceptance speech this evenging. I hope her entire family is there tonight to share in this historic moment. You'll learn about the real Sarah Palin if you scroll down and see her interview with the Anchorage Daily News.
Amazing. Here's what Hillary Supporter Michelle had to say about Sarah's wonderful speech:
"That was the most amazing, most tremendous speech I have been witness to. I stood up in my living room several times and rah rah'd her. Rudy kicked butt too! I truly can see her as President. Train under McCain Ms. Palin and then I promise to vote for you when you run. Good Lord I have goosebumps!!!
"My husband and father were amazed. My father said she needed to run for President! HA! Two southern, stereotypical men were exclaiming outloud at parts. It was kind of funny. My husband said "Good God, she is one of us! One of us is going to the White House!" I think he said it the best."
Michelle [Note to visitors, please pass Michelle's note on to everyone on your mailing list]
I have been backing Sarah Palin for this role for a year-and-a-half. I'll be posting the material below on my blogs tonight. To me, it reveals something profoundly important about -- and thus of little interest to the media -- her basic sense of right-and-wrong. As you'll see, she dislike people who are "holier than thou." She also rejects soundly the notion that any elected official must compromise his or her ethical principles. The following is from an interview conducted by the Anchorage Daily News.
ADN: Some Alaskans have, you know, defended Ted Stevens [Republican U.S. Senator] and Lisa Murkowski [Republican U.S. Senator] in particular, saying it is only natural in a small state for a politician to have prominent friends and even enter business relations with them. What do you think? Where should public figures, political figures draw the line?
PALIN: Well, maybe that is commonplace in a former smaller world of politicians in Alaska, but that is not commonplace in my world to be presented, you know, maybe amazing or even outlandish investment opportunities that turn us into rich individuals. ...
[Following is Sarah talking about various crooks and wheeler-dealers in Alaska]
I am not buddies with Bob Penney. I don't go to that Kenai classic fishery thing, you know, I don't go hunting and fishing with Bill Allen. That's not my world. So my perspective is, I guess this new leadership team, we wouldn't be tempted to become part of that world because that is not where we came from. I'm not enticed at all or excited about the idea of hooking up with some of the characters in the past that now are in trouble.
ADN: Do you think if they had adhered to a brighter line that they could have avoided some of this trouble?
PALIN: I think everyone has that individual and personal ethical compass within and I think that maybe in the past, some individuals, their compass was way off kilter and decisions were made based on a real skewed idea of what ethical activity would be. I am not claiming holier than thou and I am not saying that the people who I hire and surround myself with, that any of us are perfect.
All of us make mistakes ... but as long as I am confident that moral compass is right on target and we are not going to be tempted to do anything for self gain then I think that is what is going to best for the progress that we need here in Alaska. I can't say that was the case in the past in Alaskan politics. Obviously it wasn't or we wouldn't have high-ranking CEOs pleading guilty to bribery.
ADN: But I think you are also talking about the activities in the gray area -- the business relationships with, you know, a senator or congressman or a state legislator. Between someone with interests in the public process and the people running the public process.
PALIN: Right. Well, that's why I think we need more real and normal and hardworking and blue-collar Alaskans to want to run for office and serve in these positions that are making decisions.
Again, I will personalize this. I am not from that other world. My dad as a school teacher wasn't a mover and shaker developer making big bucks in the state of Alaska off of property development. My husband isn't that way. I am not raising my kids to be that way.... If you want to be in public service, it is being willing to serve Alaskans for the right reasons. It is having to have a servant's heart when you come into these positions. It's not to get rich.

WHY LEFTISTS, DNC HATE SARAH
The resolute, tough, hockey-mom Sarah you haven't seen yet -- but will starting tonight. See the Israel flag above in the background. Israel has a special part in Sarah's heart and beliefs, as it does in mine.
I may be one of a minority (?) of PEOPLE (especially males) in America that actually takes women like Sarah Palin seriously. I don't patronize them. I don't humor them. I don't "define" women as a tiny segment of urban, liberal America. I don't dismiss their points-of-view and their actions by treating them as if they weren't worth discussion and debate.
I'm profoundly disappointed in Hillary Rodham Clinton for ignoring a major opportunity to speak up for a woman under a relentless attack by people that hate women in general and Sarah and HRC in particular.
What's happening on the blogosphere and in the media goes beyond any single election. The Democratic Party is now firmly in the hands of paid Obama bloggers, Daily Kos, MoveOn.org, and the DNC, which are basically hate groups, especially in regard to women.
"What does it profit a woman if she gain 'reproductive rights' and loses her immortal soul."
The "progressive" Ricki Lieberman and others like her ARE in fact losing their soul and I doubt they even know it. I always supported Ricki's actions on behalf of HRC, although I thought they were as futile as they were frenetic. In the end, they were "a tale . . . full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Ricki, for a change, now remains silent -- sadly but perhaps expectedly.
The modern Democratic Party is a version of Marie Bonoparte: "Let them eat abortions." Of course, the additional message is: "Let that be enough for you -- and don't cross us -- or otherwise we will destroy you and your family."
Sadly, in the current (and future?) atmosphere, even the presidency becomes increasingly meaningfless and sterile, along with everything else in life. As Dostoevsky said (speaking of basic morality and human worth), "If God is dead, everything is permitted." Well, apparently now, everything IS permitted, and NOTHING has value.
I will be blogging and mailing today, tomorrow, and always on the subject of the Democrats' message of hate and how it is ultimately destructive of a lot more than one particular woman. I'm doing so in large part for my daughters and granddaughters -- and yours.
STATEMENT FROM HISPANIC ACTIVIST (McCain-Palin) TRACY KAROL
I'm putting together (along with Erika and whoever else wants to help -- the more help the better) a letter of support for Sarah Palin. Something called, possibly, "Where are the so-called feminists?"
What we need is statements from women (and men), preferably WITH their names stating why they are outraged at the treatment of Sarah Palin. If you have experienced sexual harrasment at work (I have); if you have experienced domestic violence; if you have fought the glass ceiling; if you are just sickened by the tactics the Democrats are using (and many of us are Independent, Democrats, voted for Hillary, or don't even agree with Palin on all the issues -- but that is not the point) -- say so.
The Democrats are sinking to a new low. Obama gave a statement saying families are off limits, but I don't believe for a second he is not behind this -- his favorite blogs are out in full force attacking her for not being vetted (she was), etc. Just take a gander at The Huffington Post and The Daily Kos.
Where is NOW?
The only woman I've seen come forward is Geraldine Ferraro. Wendy -- will need your technical skills on a way to get this posted some place that people can sign it -- TODAY, ASAP. She speaks tonight and I want this out immediately. I am furious. I won't stand for this anymore. Men can sign too. I will draft a letter, but I don't know how to get it posted someplace where people can virtually sign it and I can then post it. Quotes from women and men are great to use in it.

Sarah Palin: Mom, Pit Bull
If you ever wondered what Sarah Palin's most ferocious advocate -- moi! -- sounded and looked like, well scroll down (and down and down to the KDKA link.
Below is the link to the KDKA web TV program I participated in tonight (last night). I loved the opportunity to point out what a liar Barack H. Obama is -- and to document it with specifics. I also talked about the reign of terror against my friend (and honorary adopted daughter) Cristi Adkins. I appreciated the chance to highlight the unmentionable, the racism associated with the Obama Campaign and the intimidation directed against Black McCain-Palin supporters. I also explained why I believe Michelle Obama is not fit to be First Lady (or Tenth Lady) of the U.S.
Finally, I discussed why the Palin Family may be unique in the history of American presidential politics (they AREN'T RICH!), and why the media might consider changing its idiotic "narrative" about the Palins.
A good time, in short, was had by me.
Here is the link to the webcast/chat from 9/2: http://kdka.com/video/?id=45751@kdka.dayport.com
On FOX News the other day Fred Thompson was talking to some "journalists" who were lamenting the supposed inexperience of Gov. Palin. Thompson said, "Experience, harumph. Let me tell you this: you don't get experience sitting in a seat over in the Senate. And you don't get experience by going on the Sunday talk shows."
I noted that if being a mother and of modest means were disqualifications for running for high office, that would knock out about 270 million Americans of the "anybody can grow up to the president" sweepstakes. Ah, sexism, and we wondered if it would end with Hillary Clinton. It didn't.
On the KDKA link, you will hear me cite Fred Thompson. You'll also hear me say something like the following about liberal complaints that Sarah is "shrill" and "inexprienced." I said "shrill" is a codeword for "a female voice." And I said "inxperience" is a codeword for "she's a woman." Having five daughters and several grand-daughters, that made me feel very good.
I added that I believe that the Democatic Party has no real place for or respect for a rwoman who isn't a robotic ideologue (e.g., Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazille). Granted, they will always have a place for women who are easily intimidated.

Sarah Palin's Pregnant Daughter, Bristol
I think the young woman (Bristol Palin ) who's pregnant is a tererific person. Her mother, Sarah Palin, once stated he couldn't stand people who were "holier than thou." Me too, Sarah.
After this particular barn door closes, all you can say is: "What can I do to help?" In this case, I want to mirror the obvious love the Palins have for all their children.
In a very short time, the American public has learned to love the Palin Family. They are amazingly reflective of all that's good and decent about our country. Let's wish them all well -- and let's get on with the business of winning this election.
Yes, I am pro-life. I especially believe we all have a right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Yet I have friends, -- quite a few -- who are pro-choice. They are NOT evil people. I disagree with their definitions of life. As we define existence, we can't fall back on Obama's cynical statement that determining what life is -- and what it's not -- is "above [our] pay grade."
I think my pro-choice friends' definition of life is deficient, but I the ones I know aren't morally careless or "bad" individuals.
As a man with libertarian bones in my body, I am also pro-letting-Americans-make-their-own-choices, even ones that might involve life and death. I'm not the world's moral arbiter.
In fact, people making choices is something they will do with or without my permission.
All I is ask is that such choices be informed ones, thoughtful ones.
When Mike Huckabee, whom I like a lot, said that Jamie Spears's teen pregnancy was a "tragedy," I begged to differ. (Admittedly, Mike immediately said that he was not one of those who would "line up" to "stand in judgment" of Britney's younger sister.)
Why did I disagree with Mike's use of the word "tragedy?" Actually, it's one of the most misused terms in our world.
In fact, Mike was unintentionally making an argument to terminate pregnancies. If getting pregnant is a "tragedy," there's an obvious quick solution, and it's not one he recommends.

The Untold Sarah Palin Story
I broke the "Sarah Palin Choice" on my four blogs, including this one, early Friday a.m.
Sarah Palin reads this blog regularly. I used to get hits from her home town and the state capital of Juneau when she was there. When her son graduated from infantry training school at Ft. Benning, GA with Sarah and Todd present, I got my first hit from . . . Ft. Benning. You're always welcome Sarah!
Bookmark this site and return often! You're always welcome -- even if your name isn't . . . Sarah Palin.
Friday a.m. I had a short post up at 2:30 a.m. (above) that said I had information (from Sharon in Oklahoma and one other GOP operative) that Gov. Palin and her two teen-age daughters and perhaps others had flown from Anchorage to Dayton, where she would be named today (Friday) McCain's running mate. The story came from people who put two-and-two together, and the media was still falling all over itself at 11 a.m. this morning.
Charles Krauthammer said at 11 McCain should choose Fred Thompson. Good God!At that point, I said to my wife we already had enough old white guys (Biden, McCain) and we needed a woman, preferably Sarah . I went to sleep believing it was Sarah and woke up to her smiling face on the screen on FOX (and others?).
I never bought the Campaign's decoy statement that, well everybody on the list was flying in (Romney, Pawlenty, Huckabee, the Easter Bunny, Peter Rabbit?)
More tomorrow (Saturday).

VOLUNTEER TO HELP JOHN MCCAIN
In the "NoBama" effort, we are getting a tremendous number of requests (thousands!) from people, especially disaffected Democrats, who want to help John McCain -- and need to know what to do next. Bloggers should consider reprinting this on their own sites.
I'm asking everyone to join Clintons4McCain, NoBama Mission, and RealDemocratsUSA (all pro-McCain). If they want, people should e-mail me (at TalkTop65@aol.com ), and I promise to provide specific information within 24 hours of whom to contact and what to do. Please provide your state and the nearest city. You are very much wanted and appreciated.
Also helpful: on http://johnmccain.com, there is a link for volunteers in the Citizens for McCain effort. Kathy Morrison's sites are very useful, including: http://purplepeoplevote.blogspot.com and http://mccainbloggerresources.blogspot.com. If you're a blogger and want to join NoBama Mission Bloggers (and get USEFUL material on blog tactics), e-mail me at: TalkTop65@aol.com. If you e-mail, I will get back to you within a reasonable period of time.
In the meantime, the best thing you can do is to write e-mails to friends, family, and associates. Communicate your support for Sen. John McCain. You don't have to give a lot of reasons for your backing McCain -- one or two will do. Let them know they're not alone.
You might emphasize McCain's experience and, if you were a Hillary backer, highlight Mrs. Clinton's statement that she and McCain had "a lifetime of experience" and BHO had only "a speech he delivered in 2002." You can also use President Clinton's statement that John McCain "has given everything he could to his country -- except his life."
Frankly, John McCain is an authentic American hero -- and Barack Obama is a classic Chicago politician. 'Nough said.
If you want hard-hitting material on the election, keep visting this site. Also, go to http://talkstraight.org, which is devoted to separating fact from fiction.
We intend to win this election, but we can't do it without your help.
Thanks -- and God bless.

In the meantime, the best thing you can do is to write e-mails to friends, family, and associates. Communicate your support for Sen. John McCain. You don't have to give a lot of reasons for your backing McCain -- one or two will do. Let them know they're not alone.
You might emphasize McCain's experience and, if you were a Hillary backer, highlight Mrs. Clinton's statement that she and McCain had "a lifetime of experience" and BHO had only "a speech he delivered in 2002." You can also use President Clinton's statement that John McCain "has given everything he could to his country -- except his life."
Frankly, John McCain is an authentic American hero -- and Barack Obama is a classic Chicago politician. 'Nough said.
If you want hard-hitting material on the election, keep visting this site. Also, go to http://talkstraight.org, which is devoted to separating fact from fiction.
We intend to win this election, but we can't do it without your help.
Thanks -- and God bless.
