A good person with solid GOP ideological qualifications, but a terrible VP choice, one of the least qualified candidates in history. McCain blew the election with this decision.
Great article - thanks for the post.
“While Obama surrounds himself with unrepentant terrorists, corrupt campaign donors and plagiarizing Washington insiders, McCain has asked for the advice of someone who is above the fray and who’s right on issues across the board. Palin “get’s it” and can communicate it well.
It’s been said that the best indication of who someone will select for the courts is who they select as their running mate. If that is so, the selection of Sarah Palin is more than “Brilliant!” “Electrifying!” and “Energizing!” The selection of Sarah Palin will lead to words like: “Rejuvenating!” “Victory!” and “Landslide!”
Rush is on a roll today on the same theme.
She’s a great choice and after 4 years serving as VP she will be ready to run for President.
Xerox doesn’t deserve to be on the same stage with this great woman. The consummate Washington insider vs an outside-the-beltway reformer.
Oops. I was 100% behind Palin, up until the WND endorsement! =)
I want to tell you what the Palin pick has done for me. I have been a long term Freeper that has been active in politics. I have not been very active on FR for many years because of the “luke warm” Republican Party. I have not logged onto FR in a while.
When McCain picked Palin I was reinvigorated again and hopeful for the conservative cause. What McCain has done is wakened the sleeping giant, the “conservative base.” This is the Left’s worst nightmare. They know that history shows that when conservatives stay home or are not excited about a Presidential candidate, Democrats win.
Now since the media and the Dems have gone after Palin personally, they have not just awakened me but have made me mad. I want to now campaign for McCain. I would never have imagined this in 100 years a few months ago.
The media and Obama’s smear machine have awakened the sleeping giant (the conservative base) and Republicans win elections when this happens.
Keep it up media because you are giving the conservative base a reason to get active these next 60 days which are the most important!
So far all I see is the press ripping her to shreds. Has McCain not been able gauge the viciousness of the corrupt mainstream press? Unfortunately, the attacks appear, so far, very effective because nobody (other than covervative bloggers) knows anything about Governor Sarah Palin. McCain/Palin better hurry up and define her and stop letting the elitist liberal press define do it or they are gonna lose.
What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?

Not just good - great! Jane sums it up nicely.
