On Day 3 of the RNC, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took center stage -- along with domestic oil drilling.
The drill-here, drill-now message poured out all over the convention to the roars of a pumped-up Republican crowd, who spontaneously took up the chant: "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Astonishing.
The phrase was coined by Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, who said during his remarks:
So, do you want to put your country first? Then let's reduce our dependency on foreign sources of oil and promote oil and gas production at home.
In other words, drill baby drill! And drill now!
It stuck.
