As many other of my conservative friends would agree - Sarah Palin ROCKS! I am so glad that John McCain picked her as his running mate. She is a breath of fresh air and a real threat to the leftist rock-star image that Mr. Empty-Suit had enjoyed for so long. But.... I fear that if she doesn't get new writers and some coaching on "snappy comebacks to stupid liberal insults" then she might start sounding stale.
Now, now... I love the Governor and I know she'd be a force to be reckoned with in DC, but I've seen her speak several times over the past week and she had not changed her lines once. I know she's new at this sort of thing but we've got to get someone on the campaign team to help her develop fresh material.
Obama has sent his stooges to go dig up whatever shred of indiscretion possible on Sarah. I feel that McCain's camp should continue to take the high road and "play the victim" here. The "Country First" theme is good - but let's add something to it. Some of my readers who are also Navy vets might recognize the wonderful core values that all Navy sailors know and adhere to: HONOR, COURAGE, COMMITMENT. These are perfect values that both John McCain and Sarah Palin should put out there in the media.
HONOR - Senator McCain has brought honor to himself and to the country with his service in the Navy and in the Senate. Governor Palin has also demonstrated honor by refusing to take advantage of the taxpayers of Alaska and America.
COURAGE - A "no-brainer" for Senator McCain. But he continues to show courage by taking on the established GOP Congressmen/women by scolding them for becoming wasteful. Gov. Palin was very courageous in taking on the same wasteful politics (even in the GOP). She's has courage being a mother of a large family with many challenges.
COMMITMENT - Sen. McCain remains commited to not taking outside campaign money from special interests. And if Sarah Palin isn't commited to her family - then I'm the most liberal guy in America (no, wait - that's Barack Obama).
Sarah Palin needs to keep up her "barracuda" reputation (even if the band Heart won't let her use the song) as being feisty and tough on the issues (taxes, energy, wasteful earmarks) - but get her some new lines PLEASE! I don't want her to become stale on the issues.
