The crowd exploded when Sarah Palin took the stage tonight. "Palin Power" signs filled the convention floor. The Republican party's vice presidential nominee assured delegates that she's qualified for the job--something that's come into question over the past few days.

Palin introduced her family to the nation during the speech. She talked energy policy, promising to drill here in the US--something that provoked "drill baby drill" cheers.

Palin told supporters she wants to go to Washington not to become one of the political elite, but just to serve the people of our nation.

When she addressed some of the negative media attention she has been getting, the crowd starting booing NBC!

When you break it down--tonight's focus was all about a Republican win. John McCain even made a surprise appearance on stage.

It seems like Palin's speech helped energize the Republican party. She could become the first woman vice president of the United States, adding yet another exciting element to this already historic presidential election.
