Palin Delivers; McCain Needs to Soar

Nervousness turned to elation after Gov. Sarah Palin’s knockout speech last night. From our viewpoint, we could be disappointed that she didn’t address right-to-life issues. She didn’t have to — the images of her beautiful family told the whole story.

Trig Palin is fittingly the most famous baby in the country. His mere angelic presence speaks volumes about his mom and dad and sibs who obviously adore him. Loved the news coverage that showed Trig being passed around. John and Cindy McCain looked absolutely radiant as each held him and peered into his beautiful face.

In many ways, the Palins are us. And so are the McCains. The Palins have two supposedly “unwanted” babies in their family. The McCains have a daughter they rescued from a Bangladesh orphanage and adopted. In the end, it is not talk. It is how we live our lives and the example we set.

Palin has brilliantly started the sprint, trounced the critics, and set the stage. McCain needs to soar tonight and lead the American public to the finish line. But, it is also up to us to promote a right-to-life team as vigorously as possible so that on November 5, a new day will dawn that holds hope and promise for everyone, including the unborn.
