[Tonight] Sarah Palin (age 44) will (YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST) rock the house. Every GOP-er I know in St. Paul is waiting to see the "future of the party" and the one who has energized the base.
The 'Rally for the Republic' here in St. Paul was essentially a meeting of die-hard Paul supporters. They paid exactly $17.76 to get in. (I'll let you history majors figure that out.) Anyways, I got to interview Paul for the Today Show and it was pretty solid. He stayed on his talking points, but I think we were able to demonstrate to people what he was all about. Check out the Today Show tomorrow around 7:45ET. A young Republican who I trust and have known for some time said to me, "Geez, with Lieberman and Thompson out there it looks like the Night of the Living Dead." That kind of sums up Night Two of the convention. While there is no doubt that Fred Thompson has a great voice and Joe Lieberman has a great story, at the end of the day they are not very inspiring speakers. However, tomorrow Sarah Palin (age 44) will (YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST) rock the house. Every GOP-er I know in St. Paul is waiting to see the "future of the party" and the one who has energized the base. I'm excited too because I am interested to see how my four aunts who are all moms aged 45-62 react to Palin. If they like her, then McCain has some good prospects in November. If they see her as a "phony"... watch out! Well, I'm tired from my travels to Memphis but I'll be back tomorrow with a full Palin reaction. GOOD NIGHT and REGISTER TO VOTE 18-year-olds.

So I got back from Memphis, which was a tremendously moving experience. My first assignment back was to cover the Ron Paul counterconvention. For those of you who just got into the presidential race, Ron Paul is a congressman from Texas whose platform is essentially libertarian. Paul supports an end to government entitlement programs, an end to the war on drugs and a complete withdrawal from Iraq. Needless to say, his candidacy galvanized many young people who took to his message of less government control and intervention into their lives. His followers can be described as "spirited" and "not your average politicos." Many treat the humble doctor from Texas as a kind of second-coming.
