The McCain campaign should get with some of the Abe’s List folks in Hollywood (like Dennis Miller) and work up some material. Then get SNL to have Palin as a guest where she can do impressions of Tina Fey.

It’s a Who’s Who of great American entertainers. I may be going about this all wrong. He’s the great speech maker but look at how he uses his undercard to draw crowds.
