For 37 minutes on Wednesday, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin became the most important - certainly the most looked at - woman in the world.
Her keynote address at the GOP conference in St Paul was arguably the most anticipated speech by a politician in the last ten years.
The speech had it all - it was warm, witty, shrewd, and incredibly confident.
It might have been a bit light on policy, but, to be fair, this probably wasn't the time to knock everyone sideways with ideas for domestic and international affairs.
It was Palin's job tonight - as a relatively unknown politician a week ago - to introduce herself to the world, tell her story and praise her boss.
I am sure she quelled the fears of many Republicans and swinging voters still jittery and bewildered by her meteoric ascension, who wondered whether she'd be able to handle being on the world stage.
I reckon she could handle it, alright!
Palin delivered in spades.
The delegates loved it.
So did I.
