If only either Duncan Hunter, Sr., Tom Tancredo, or Fred Thompson, all solid conservatives, were the final choice for ‘08 POTUS on the GOP side instead of “maverick” John McCain!

These are truly strong Conservatives, but this year with Repos being "on the run," the media would have crucified them all, and Obama would get elected. With McCain's maverick status (like Lieberman) he has the appeal to draw in more of the middle ground voters. Palin's bombshell surprise candidacy has knocked the media on their asses. This is probably the only ticket that really stands a chance of beating the world's choice for America's President.

Whatever, this is what we have - 2 choices - McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden.

That’s it.

One really scary in charge of our country - the other has been very independent, often against us for years. However, maybe that independence will mean as President - no one will tell him what to do and he will take care of the country.

And we have been given Sarah. All of us seem to sense that Sarah is not your usual politician and that is amazing if you think about it. Politicians campaign, tell us what they think, conjole us, explain, explain, campaign, campaign.

But, in one night, one is picked and makes a speech and a sense of excitement sweeps across the country. What is it we see so that excitement immediately sweeps the country?

To ignore this and even think of voting against a McCain - is ridiculous for one even half-heartedly a conservative.

So, it does not matter that McCain has flaws - we have only him. But, he did give us Sarah and maybe the man does intend to take care of all of us.
