I took this picture of Sarah Palin and her husband sitting with John McCain’s mother (Roberta; born in Muskogee) shortly after the Palins arrived at the family/VIP box. That entire part of the arena stood when she entered.
As an aside, Roberta McCain is something else. I was interviewed by French TV tonight (you can’t go 10 feet without getting asked for an interview by the literally thousands of credentialed media here), and they asked me about John McCain’s age. I was able to point at Roberta and say, “Unless John McCain plans to be president for 24 years, I think he’ll be fine.”

David,
I really enjoyed reading your blogs this week! Despite the nerve-wracking start, the convention was spectacular! Sarah Palin has resurected my excitement for this election! Honestly, until the Dems’ convention, I didn’t really feel that I had a dog in this hunt. I’ve always supported McCain, but not enthusiastically. Somewhere about Wednesday of last week (maybe the middle of Michelle Obama’s speech!) I became fervent about McCain’s election in contrast to the not-just-lackluster but profoundly disturbing alternative of Obama’s “ascension.”
Hope the post-convention bump launches a new sense of excitement!
