Meanwhile: Palin is still really good

She speaks the language of the voters. She understands the crowd (at :40):

We believe America is not the problem. We don’t have to apologize for being Americans!

She says that with just the right amount of frustration and defiance. She says it in just the way the crowd is feeling it. Her talent is not unique, yet it is also not common. And she knows it. As she should.
