Pro-family advocates and Republicans are saying presumptive GOP nominee for president Sen. John McCain may have checkmated Democrat Sen. Barack Obama with his choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.
She's a woman, young, has been governor of Alaska for about two years, is pro-life and doesn't believe homosexuals should be granted the special privilege of "marriage" rights, is a mother, has a son in the U.S. military and wants to expand America's energy production.
"Absolutely brilliant," said Mathew Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel, the Liberty Alliance Action and dean of the Liberty University school of law.
"The excitement was palpable among conservative leaders when they heard that Gov. Palin was Sen. McCain's choice for vice president. There is a high level of optimism among conservative leaders that the McCain-Palin combination is a ticket that will connect with values voters," he said.

Thank you, Sen. John McCain! God bless you, sir, and God bless the United States of America!
Yo soy muy feliz!
anyone heard of sum1 called Obama?
Anyone hear how Obama’s gig at Invesco went? I listened to the news all day and they never mentioned it.
She should certainly help McCain more than Biden helps BO. Nice play for the Hillary crowd. Bets he gets a bunch of them.
Did he get the hot dog concession there or something?
I was one of the 38 million who watched his speech and can’t recall off hand what he said.
The phrase “chick-mate” is demeaning and absurd.
Love the Palin choice,
I will now contribute to the RNC.
I agree, not impressed with the phrase “chick-mate” myself, but I am really impressed with her credentials. I didn’t know much about her until yesterday when she made her case, without a teleprompter. I contributed to the RNC after she spoke.
I heard somewhere that Biden was so PO’d that his hair plugs started popping out...
John McCain could not have chosen anyone better
I heard part of JFK’s acceptance speech from 1960 on Medved’s show. It sounded like every dhimmiecrat speech for the past 48 years. I’m sure that Bo-Bo’s was the same old shiite. Some things never change.
McCain's campaign has been firing on all cylinders lately. The timing of the announcement and the way they kept it a secret to build the suspense was brilliant. They stepped all over The Sermon on the Mount 2 by the Obamessiah.
True, but this decision was John McCain's.
Great leadership is bold leadership.
McCain is holding an unforgettable leadership workshop for Obama and his stumbling campaign.
I now have great interest in the VP debate(s). In the media’s eyes she will not be expected to hold a candle to Biden but we shall see....
Are they ever! They are even doing a whole thread on DUmmies about Sarah not being pregnant and the downs baby belonging to her daughter. Of course these people are lower than snakes anyway but it only shows their desperation and the panic is widespread............
Mac really pulled it off!
Palin as veep is great, but it is nothing compared to what this means for the future...i.e. a more experienced Palin as the prez candidate in 2012 (barring a Mayan calendar disaster). That is what I am telling anti-McCains that like Palin....look to the future....if bambi gets in he will fill his administration with Stalinist thugs and who knows what will happen to this country. Grin and bear it and vote for McCain/Palin and defeat the Stalinist monster at our doorstep and pave the way for many years of conservatism.
