PALIN VERSUS OBAMA: IT'S THE AROMA, STUPID!

YORK/THE HILL:

Now, I’m not suggesting that Palin has the qualifications of vice presidential candidates like Dick Cheney or George H.W. Bush.

But if you look at her work in Alaska, you have to — at least, I think you have to — come away with the conclusion that she is a real political talent.

She really did take on the Republican political establishment in her state. She really did take on the Democrats. She really did take on the oil companies. She really does have a sky-high approval rating.

And she did it all by starting as a concerned citizen without any connections. It’s quite a story.

YES: IT'S QUITE A STORY.

• OBAMA'S STORY IS NOT A GOOD, AND HE HAS NO SUCCESSES TO POINT TO EXCEPT HIS OWN METEORIC RISE.

• BUT PALIN'S SUCCESS STORY ISN'T WHY THE LEFT IS SCARED.

• THEY'RE SCARED OF HER PERSONA: SHE PERSONIFIES THE RIGHT, SHE MAKE THE RIGHT ATTRACTIVE. SHE'S CONFIDENT, HAS INTEGRITY, COURAGE, WARMTH, GRACE UNDER FIRE, AND HUMOR.

• AND... DID I SAY INTEGRITY?

THE GOP TICKET REEKS OF INTEGRITY.

OBAMA AND BIDEN REEK OF PHONINESS.

THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WILL SMELL THAT AND ... VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
