Hurricane Sarah

Love blossoms in Florida.

(Page 2 of 2)

McCain will appear at the Tampa Convention Center Tuesday morning. The McCain campaign here is having no trouble getting up a crowd to fill the center. Many among the Thursday night group will be there Tuesday. But there’s palpable disappointment among them that Sarah won’t be there too.

Could this be love?

Political sophisticates here, and across the country, are asking if the Palin phenomena is personal or political. Are voters attracted to Palin because of her positions on issues, her political skills, her courage in pushing reforms and going after political bad actors, and her leadership ability? Or are voters attracted to Palin by her good looks, her stage skills, her beautiful family, and her compelling personal story? Around here, seven weeks from the election, the answer to both of these questions appears to be yes.
