Palin Reunites Republican Party

The Republican Party is hanging on by a thread. Led by a president with a 33 percent approval rating; the war on terror is just one of many issues tearing apart the Republican Party. Cabinet members have come and gone out of the Bush administration like the seasons, and long-time committed Republicans are losing their political interest or worst, switching parties. The GOP had to throw a “Hail Mary” pass at the Republican National Convention, and it was caught by vice presidential candidate, Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin.

This small town mayor turned governor turns out to be exactly what the Republican Party needs. She brings energy and tenacity to the presidential race that John McCain simply does not have.

She is also not afraid to bring attention to Barrack Obama’s inexperience and selfishness. She attacked him for writing two memoirs but not a single major piece of litigation. She also said that “he (Obama) is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word 'victory' except when he's talking about his own campaign."

According to US Weekly, Palin had 37 million viewers glued to their television screens during her acceptence speech. This almost matched the amount of people who watched Barack Obama deliver his speech the previous week.

More republicans are now coming back to join the Republican effort, and Palin seems to be the driving force. McCain contributions have also been at a record high since the announcement of Palin’s candidacy. More money is sure to pile in as the country gets to know the small town hockey mom turned vice presidential candidate.
