First impressions can define a politician's future. This is especially magnified in the case of sudden national exposure, when previously locally known politicians 'go big' fast, and can be near impossible to redirect.Barack Obama built a presidential campaign on one nationally televised speech.
The script for Dan Quayle's entire political future was written in thirty-seconds, when George Bush named him as his running mate on live television. (Although, to his credit, he later did everything possible to perpetuate that first,second,
third... impression.)
Likewise, it may be Sarah Palin's turn next, as folks have positive fun with her Wonder Woman first impression.
Via Steve,at Careful Thoughts, some of these are pretty darn funny.
A few favorites:

She's certainly made an impression on me. I've gone from 'might sit this one out' to 'definitely voting for Obama'. A lot of my right-wing friends seem happy though. More proof that I will never understand Republicans.
Amusement.
