This shows how well Palin did. If she flopped it pretty hard the average Democrat would have gone and bought some coffee. They saw it, scared the heck out of them and they spent their coffee money on Obama.

I suggest you keep spending your own money. If you folks manage to get Obama elected all of his tax increases are going to take your coffee money.

And spare me the drivel about how he is going to reduce taxes on 95% of Americans. That just means you aren't paying attention to what he is really saying and how it would really work in the US Tax Code.

After that poor showing by McCain, the Democrats will probably raise $20 million in a day.

I made my $30 donation the day before her speech. I wasn't even watching the boring convention that day.
BTW, I don't drink coffee either.

After the Palin speech people weren't scared because they saw something great and tough, they were scared into action because they disliked what they heard (and have since learned about her) so much that they wanted to be sure something was done to keep her and McCain away from the White House (so they don't screw us up some more like Bush has for 8 years).
