Richard Nixon -- 1952, stood accused of spending political contributions on himself.  He explained his finances in detail, but this is the line people remembered:

And yes, they did accept a puppy as a gift, but their daughter loves that dog, she named it Chekers, and they're keeping it.

It worked.  Because Americans don't like it when the media beats up on regular people.

And so it was last night with Sarah Palin:

PALIN I:...this great country."

At which point the delegates on the floor turned to the press gallery jabbing their fingers in the air and chanting NBC.  Keith Olberman's not their favorite person.

As for all the stories about her family...

PALIN M .

And as for her qualifications for high national office?  

PALIN D... like a community organizer."

I'm guessin gshe's not imtimidated.  I can see her in the White House one day sticking Vladimir Putin's cell number on the refrigerator next to the plumber.

And having been in the crowd last night I can tell you that, for the delegates, the only question left unanswered after her speech was whether John McCain could top it.
