GOP Convention: The Wee Barracuda

As the crowd settled into their seats on this final night of the Convention, Senator Mitch McConnell presided over the formal nomination of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential candidate.

(In a nice touch, they played Heart's "Barracuda" immediately after her nomination was in the books.)

As part of the formalities, McConnell officially designated a dozen or so people to inform Palin of her nomination and to act as her official escorts.

One of the designees was Piper Palin (baby Trig's impossibly adorable coiffeuse). Dare we hope for a Piper blog on the campaign site? Or might we risk acute cuteness overdose? Next to Piper, Knut the polar bear is basically unmistakable from that winner of the world's ugliest dog contest.

Update: Heartless! (Via Allah)

Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign.

Specifically, the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic "Barracuda" as a theme song for Sarah Palin.

UPDATE: Twenty minutes after we posted this story, the GOP ended the evening after McCain's speech with the song, "Barracuda."
