Sarah Palin was very impressive last night in her speech.  She connects enough that there will be some voters who say, 'can we just vote for her.'  but it comes down to John and Barack and you have to like Barack's chances.  McCain has a chance tonight to separate from GOP label.  He has the record in the Senate to do that but he cant just talk about the past record and run against Reid/Pelosi, he needs to lay out creative ideas on health, energy, etc. that aren't typical GOP, if he does that he has a shot. There need to be bold new ideas.  Otherwise his whole ticket will pail in comparison.
