John McCain’s Candidacy Boosted by Sarah Palin’s Popularity in Colorado

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" and appearances in Colorado boosted John McCain's candidacy, dashing rival Barack Obama's hopes for a landslide victory on Election day. With only 15 grueling days to go before Election Day, the Palin Effect has proved the McCain/Palin Repulican ticket to be more viable than the junior Senator from Illinois himself would like to admit: Palin is no bimbo; she is a bold and courageous Republican Vice-Presidential nominee. Because of Palin's unexpected strong presence on the campaign trail, Joseph Biden has resorted to below-the-belt, hard-ball politics, trying to undermine the young woman who is on the verge of being the first woman in history to be elected as Vice-President of the United States. Despite the fact that Samuel Joeseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. Joe the Plumber) is not a licensed plumber, the patriotism which he has symbolized has sparked a strong national movement, that has inspired many undecided women voters (e.g.; Moms for Palin and Moms Love Palin) to support Sarah Palin. Many Americans have indicated that they are concerned about the weak U.S. economic system, national security, health care, forced federal government bailouts of shady corporations, increased tax hikes, and all other politically important issues which impact the lives of the millions of people living in the United States. Recently, many independent feminists (some of whom have identified themselves as former Clay Aiken's ClayMates and former Bill and Hillary Clinton supporters) are joining the Joe the Plumber movement to support the McCain/Palin ticket as a protest to their being deceived by their former American Idols: Aiken and the Clintons. Palin has afforded these women voters an opportunity to voice their concerns about the state of the nation. Moreover, Palin has proven that she should not be taken for granted: Hell has no fury like Sarah Palin scorned. Rain or shine, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the first in history to run as a female Vice-Presidential candidate of a major political party on her own strength, a feat the former Democrat Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro failed to accomplish herself.
