Oh my. The adrenalin has slowed. The dust has settled. And just what was the result of Alaska governor Sarah Palin's speech last night at the Republican convention.
The numbers are in. $10 MILLION IN DONATIONS!!!
Yippi, the Republican base came through right. They must be ecstatic at what Scandal-a-day-Sarah stirred up in donations.
Wait a minute. Wait just a minute. I'm getting corrected here. Yes, I'm being told that $10 MILLION IN DONATIONS were received in just 24 hours following Scandal-a-day-Sarah's speech. But. But, wait, I'm still getting reports.
Oh no!!! It can't be. The $10 MILLION IN DONATIONS in just 24 hours following Scandal-a-day-Sarah's speech WENT TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN!!!
Say it aint' so. Please someone SAY IT AIN'T SO!
Still you may ask. Surely Senator McCain's campaign (Republican National Committee) received donations following Palin's rousing attacks on Senator Barack Obama. Yes, yes the McCain campaign did receive donations, around one million dollars.
Hmmm. Palin gives a speech. The following 24 hours Senator Obama receives $10 MILLION in donations and McCain receives one million.
Hmmm. Maybe the Obama campaign should buy say, 30 minutes of tv time for governor Palin once or twice a week so she can give a speech to the American people? You know at a ten to one ratio, that might not be a bad investment.

As an Obama supporter I'd like to include a short video of Senator Obama's response to this week's Republican swiftboating attempts.
