GOP Base Energized

This is what happens when a good candidate for President picks a good person to be VP:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain took in $6.8 million in donations yesterday, when he named Alaska Governor Sarah Palin his running mate.

The amount was a single-day record, McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said last night. The amount is more than the Arizona senator raised during the entire fourth quarter of 2007.

The campaign raised $4.5 million in Internet donations, and has taken in $2.3 million so far by telephone and mail, Buchanan told reporters.

We GOPers are starting to sense the possibility of victory out there – still a long, uphill climb and even while our Presidential prospects have been brightening we’re brought down to earth by the objective realities of Campaign ’08…its still, officially, a Democratic year…but the campaign has shifted, and neither candidate enjoys a clear advantage over the other at this point. Its anyone’s game and either candidate can find a way to the White House.
