Palin the "Savior"

Before the Republican convention, the McCain campaign was at a low point as Obama appeared to be pulling away towards victory. McCain called on Sarah Palin, and the race was dramatically changed overnight. Recently, again Obama appeared to be pulling away towards victory as the McCain campaign ineffectively responded to the financial crisis, and as liberals and the media effectively attempted to destroy Sarah Palin. Once again, Sarah Palin might very well have given new life to the McCain campaign:

[Palin] may not have been a clear winner Thursday night, but the McCain ticket has got a different story to shout out on Friday.... and that gives Sen. John McCain the narrowest of openings.
