The choice of Sarah Palin really does seem to have energized Republicans everywhere.
Take Michigan Republicans, who were enthralled by the fact that one of their delegates to the GOP convention has a daughter who lived near the town where Palin served as mayor:
"She's exciting and full of energy," said Georgia Buchholtz, 47, who moved to Alaska in 1986 and voted for Palin for mayor and governor. "Sarah lives about 10 miles from me. We're not friends, but she recognizes me in the grocery store by face. I just saw her Sunday at the State Fair. There was Sarah, walking through the fair with her pony tail, in blue jeans, pushing a stroller, chatting with her girlfriends. She's the governor, but she looks and acts just like a regular person."
Which just may help Republicans this fall with blue collar voters...
