Republican Convention is done, are the Republicans?

Palin did a good job last night with her speech. For a newcomer, she managed to hit the notes her party needed her to hit, and she did it pretty damn well.

McCain? That’s another story altogether.

Nobody I’ve talked with is changing votes though. That seems to be the predominant feeling in Calif, with nobody moved either wy by either convention, at least not that I can see.

But then, it’s not about California anymore, anyway. We’re a solid blue state, so the Palin pick was about the Ohios, Michigans and Floridas where a conservative woman who goes for the throat could change some minds, maybe.

Maybe, if the top of the ticket gets a charisma transplant and Obama makes a few missteps (or some skeletions emerge from his closet). Or if the Dems get smug and confortable.

From my perch, it doesn’t really look like anyone’s minds going to be changed after this week.  61 days and counting…
