When she spoke of her eldest son being in the Army I almost wept because she is proud the way my Mom was proud when I was in the Army so long ago.

Heck, for me it wasn’t “almost”... I was in full weeping mode!

Poll time: Are you pumped?
By Michelle Malkin • August 29, 2008 01:29 PM

I know a large number of michellemalkin.com readers have shared my deep-seated reservations about John McCain. Those reservations — especially regarding border security, the environment, campaign finance, and his Soros flirtations — remain. And you know I will not hesitate to pound on them. But the Palin VP choice appears to be a huge step forward for movement conservatism. She is the real deal.

Today’s poll question: Are you on board with McCain/Palin?

Are you on board with McCain/Palin?

you are wrong.

10% JUMP in the polls for McCain due to this choice... and that may even be too low a guess.

She has more executive experience than anyone else on either ticket. Period!

“Well let’s see, our VP candidate has more experience than your Presidential candidate.”

Now that, will leave a mark.   McCain has some sharp people on his campaign.

She gives one hell of a speech. I hope she can speak and think on her feet in a debate. She says nucular like military folks and that's a good sign. I need to know more. But so far, I like her.

This is a man’s woman...no offense ladies.

None taken. She's a good looking lady, married to a good looking man, and together they have five very good looking kids. The menfolk can "admire" her, and the women can "admire" her hubby.

But going beyond her good looks, I believe she has a brain and common sense, and she isn't afraid to use either of them to kick some corrupt political ass.

...how many of us don't know a conservative, God-fearing, family who has had this happen. You deal with it the best way the family sees fit, and move on. We all know that no one is perfect!

Yes, and--if true that the daughter is really pregnant out of wedlock--the Palins would show the traditional way of dealing with these unhappy occurances in a fallen world. The Palins' way of dealing with a pregnant daughter would stand as a huge rebuke to the O-man's, "I don't want to punish my daughter with a baby!" comment.

It's Palin's character that shines through, too. As opposed to the freak show on the other side, Palin is transcendently NORMAL! She's someone you can genuinely admire.

this neutralizes the inexperience message

Well, I suppose it then comes down to do you want an
inexperienced person as President or VP.

I think she will do fine and it is time for the Repubs to break some ceilings.

Also loved how she lauded Ferrarro and Clinton, it put
Hillery! right where she belongs, in the PAST.

The PTA leaders I've run into are FAR from over their heads. They can get things done.

This is why I’ve been noting for the last week how brilliant a campaign McCain’s staff has been running.

This choice caps it, for sure.

” Gov. Palin (soon VICE PRESIDENT Palin) needs all our female conservative support at this time. The Dems are going to tear her apart, and she cannot wobble.

In those dark hours, after the Dems viciously go after her, her husband, her children, her family, her faith, and her beliefs, she needs to know we’re here pulling for her.”

She’s got my wife and daughter, so add them to the army.

I and several of my friends are also enthusiastically aboard
to support her and John M.

Has anyone pointed out that she is the governor of a State that borders two foreign countries, can say "hello, neighbor" the first time she shakes hands with Vladimir Putin, and just signed a multi-billion $ cooperative cross border natural gas pipeline authorization bill.

Unless I am mistaken, that trumps giving a speech to a couple hundred thousand body hygiene challenged Eur-peens by several orders of magnitude.
