This is the unsolicited reaction I got from a Kansas public servant who has worked for two state agencies...
I am so excited about her that I can hardly focus on anything else! I can't wait to vote for her. FINALLY someone I like is running for President!!! Law predicted her too, but I thought it was simply wishful thinking because she is so good looking! And in 4-8 more years, she and Bobby Jindal will be the ticket! IF we can pull out of the economic tail spin we're currently in..... She spoke of her son's going to Iraq in Sept. What a great story she will be! I have high hopes, for once. Probably will not turn out the way I hope, but at least I can hope again for awhile.
I said: Ooo. Can I publish that?
Her response:
Sure. And it's not just me. I went down the hall and hugged one of my co-workers, whom I knew would be excited too. She's about my age (a few years older) and we both cried and got goose bumps listening to her acceptance speech. She appears to be the real deal. Finally. This is entirely the most exciting thing to happen in politics in a long time. I cannot wait to vote!
The Senator may be on to something here. I admit, since he picked my choice, I'm happy.

We need music up in here: North, to Alaska, we're going north, the rush is on!
Way up north

She has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain combined.
She fights corruption within the Republican Party.
She has put her personnal beliefs aside to follow the constitution and law - benefits and rights for gay couples.
She has bagged a moose before breakfast.
The pick was simply a strategic move I didn't think McCain's campaign had in it, even though I was thinking it.
But, speaking of "reaction", you know I work with 80% women? Many of whom are at least somewhat "liberal". Guess what everyone is talking about?

Oops! Typo above. Should be "..."ISN'T really political."
And with the authenticity thing... Palin resonates on a level that Hilary never touched.
