The Bulletin: Palin And Co. Energizing GOP

Excerpts from an op-ed by Jane Gilvary in the Philadelphia Bulletin:

We know that Mrs. Palin is a media machine and that her endorsement means something. In fact, it changed the entire scope of the race in the 23rd District in New York. Other conservative Republicans like Mr. Pawlenty soon followed Mrs. Palin’s lead by also endorsing Mr. Hoffman. Claude Sandroff at The American Thinker writes, “Palin is bringing us back to the principled, universal roots that Reagan shared with the Founders.”

We now know that the conservative base of the GOP — Mrs. Palin, Mr. Pawlenty, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, and Steve Forbes — is the true voice of the Party. In their endorsement of conservatives like Mr. Hoffman, they sent a message to the establishment that adhering to the core principles of conservatism is what the party wants. We’re tired of out-of-control spending, government takeovers of private enterprise and weak foreign policy.

[...]

It is obvious... that Americans are moving back to center right values thanks to true conservatives like Mrs. Palin. The Arctic Fox is going rogue and it looks like America just might follow her.
