I have to say that the pick of Sarah Palin was BRILLIANT! I am very pleased with this choice and I know that everybody was talking about it over the weekend. She is everything that McCain wants in a running mate. She's pro-life, tough on corrupt pork-barrell earmarks, has EXECUTIVE leadership experience, pro-2nd Amendment, and has the WOW factor.
I was at work the morning she was announced as the VP pick. A conservative (and a latina) co-worker calls me from home to tell me the news and how excited she is about Gov. Palin. I couldn't get over her excitement. The rest of the staff on duty were also buzzing about the pick as well. Another comment about Gov. Palin I heard was "she's hot!" meaning she's georgeous. Funny - but that isn't the reason I'd use to make up my mind about who to vote for. My email box nearly exploded with WOW messages over her selection. Even my Democrat mother was suprised and had a few nice things to say about her - not that she's going to vote for McCain, but I was suprised by her comments.
McCain has certainly put the WOW back in the campaign!!
Gov. Palin has already been criticized by Obama's camp as being just as inexperienced as we are making him out to be. Hmmm, do I sense a bit of realization that Obama is nothing more than an over-ambitious, empty-suited, corrupt Chicago politician? Let's see...
- She is in command of real military units as Alaska's govenor.
- She is the chief executive for Alaska's government.
- She has made real (and effective) changes in the way the state is run.
- She has fundamental political viewpoints and hasn't moved from them to fit the audience she's addressing.
- She isn't corrupted by Chicago's Democratic Machine, Hollywood's deep pockets, or blinded by ambition when choosing associations (Rev. Wright, Fr. Pflager, Tony Rezko, William Ayers). AND
- (As my friend would say) She is "hot".
