And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.

That may well prove to be the signature line of the speech.
Some subtle, and not so subtle, things.
Don't know about the camera angles you had, but did you notice how most everyone in her family took a turn holding the baby? And how comfortable and natural her husband (his resume screams tough guy) seemed doing so? That's almost a perfect subliminal message of, we are family, we stick together and get the job done.
After days of being attacked and ridiculed, she never sounded mean, angry or bitter. She threw it right back at 'em with toughness and humor.
And after days of hearing how she hadn't been on the national stage, never been under the bright lights, she came across as calm, cool and collected. She took the whole issue of experience and said, Bring it on.
The main thing though, that I think she accomplished, and what Obama and the smart people in his campaign feared the most (besides energizing the base), is reflected by a T-shirt going around .......
I Am Sarah Palin
Her Story is My Story
And that's a story that will resonate with a whole lot of people.
