Thanks to deft handling of Hurricane Gustav, finessing of the popular-with-the-base/unpopular-with-the-nation President Bush, the crossover appeal of Palin, ample media-bashing and a convention punctuated by chants of "U.S.A.!" and "Drill, baby, drill," Republicans have united around McCain--challenging Democrats with the partisan energy essential to win.

And as much as Palin pleases the conservative base of the party, white women were the real target audience McCain was aiming at with his surprise pick of the Alaska governor. The campaign hopes female voters will relate to her thoroughly modern and complicated everywoman story, even if they don't agree with her on the issues. (See photos of Sarah...
