People are fed up with the corruption, but have no idea how to fight it. Sarah shows them how. Stand up for your values. Resign when the system prevents fighting corruption. Never compromise your values and your beliefs. And take on the corrupt power structure head-on with integrity.
I’m rather impressed at how she went after the old heads in her own party when she was still a relative rookie. I’m not sure I would have done that, it is easy when you’re a rookie to look around you, see the old heavy-weights doing something you don’t approve of, but hesitate to speak up. You’re still trying to learn the ropes, you don’t want to make waves, maybe this is the way things are done.
It takes someone who is firmly rooted in right and wrong, and firmly rooted in who they are to have that kind of clarity that soon and that young.
I am impressed with McCain’s choice of Palin as vp. Its a good choice. I didn’t like McCain, and have struggled with that. But looking at the field, I am changing my view. McCain’s not a perfect man by any measure, but he is the right man for this job. There were men I thought were better choices but they all fell away. I have no doubt McCain is going to irritate me every day for the next four years, and we’ll have to fight him on any number of issues. But I’m becoming convinced that he is the right man for the job.
Obama has done a lot to convince me of that. And Palin confirms it.
