At the Republican National Convention ...
Sarah Palin takes the podium and the crowd inexplicably goes wild, don't they know the media doesn't like her. She's not a Washington insider or one of the intellectual elite.
No, she didn't focus on pro-life issues - her stand on behalf of the unborn is well known.
Instead, she introduced herself and her family, highlighting the April birth of her son with Down Syndrome.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.Her words are endearing to the pro-life community, especially considering the shocking number of unborn children with DS (i.e., 90%) who are killed before birth.That's how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other ... the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House.
Her respect of life, conservative values, down to earth style, practical solutions and emphasis on family connect well with middle America. She's one of us.
Update: here's the transcript.
What a great picture of Gov. Palin and Trig (Reuters)
I'd like to add that Palin's speech was excellent, well beyond expectations in both style and substance. Given the emphasis of this blog I decline to comment on her economic principles and energy policy, both of which were well represented.


what a speech! what a woman! It's amazing that no one knew Sarah through out the whole campaign and now she is in the spotlight,proving why she is on that ticket. You go girl
It was a great speech in all aspects. Her passion shines through. She rocked the house and I absolutely loved it!
Loved the pit bull joke!
Everyone, feel free to use this image anywhere on your blog. I created it this morning.
