Palin is the barracuda and the dems will have to spend the rest of the race fighting her off leaving McCain to stay above the fray.

She has political talent---perhaps more than Obama. She was really good last night. There is no question McCain made the right choice in terms of the success of the ticket. 

The democrats are going to send Biden, hair plugs and all, up against Palin who seems to be a plain spoken person who will get right to the point.
