Palin taggar även demokraterna

SOLNA Nu är republikanska valarbetare/gräsrötter/kampanjmakare/partistrateger/väljare etc naturligtvis taggade som sjutton – energized, electrified, galvanized och allt vad det heter på engelska. Sarah Palins fantastiska entré gör att slutfasen av valrörelsen drar igång med maxad energi.

Men, som Nate/bloggen 538.com skriver så har hennes tal även fått igång demokraterna ordentligt. Enligt honom så har demokraterna allt att vinna på ökad intensitet i kampanjandet, inte minst för att de helt enkelt är fler:

In the past several hours, Dems I’ve spoken with and who’ve flooded my inbox are energized. A woman friend and Democrat who had not worked for Obama’s campaign: “I am volunteering tomorrow.” An Obama organizer who was operating on fumes five months ago: “They are not getting away with this. 10 hours of call time tomorrow.” A shorter read of the mood: “Let’s get it on.”
The mockery went too far. They played the “Obama doesn’t love America, just himself” card, over and over and over. For people already inclined to believe that (i.e., the hardcore Republican base), the speech was a smashing success. Maybe they will work a little harder, volunteer a few more hours, dig a little deeper into their pockets. But so will partisan Dems, who are far more plugged into watching the election coverage.
(– – –)
Fire up both bases equally, it’s not even close. Obama wins going away. In 2008, there are so many more Democrats, numerically.
So, everyone on both partisan sides has reason to celebrate tonight. Republicans can celebrate a true champion in the VP role. Dems can celebrate because the numbers don’t lie, and no energy occurs in a vacuum. Republicans can’t tie this year.

Nu är det fight! Och extra kul att betrakta alltsammans.
