Palin was a political Hail Mary, a long bomb in the closing minutes of a game that John McCain and Co. were certain to lose.

You don't get on your feet if you don't have to, you know. And these people were on their feet rockin', and that was thrilling for David and I, absolutely. ↗

I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play. ↗
