Palin showed a committment to her pro-life conservative principles by not bowing to the pressure to abort her mentally-challenged child. Rarely are one's convictions borne out by real-life circumstances, but Palin showed she's willing to live her beliefs.
With a son in the military, Palin will be keenly aware of how her military decisions or the decisions she influences as vice-president will affect the men and women serving in the armed forces. With a son in the military, Palin and her family will have to grit their teeth along with other military families, as their loved-ones carry out the orders associated with those difficult decisions.
At 44, Palin would offer a refreshing balance to the McCain ticket and nullify any advantage Obama would have with his youth...Palin would effectively neutralize the female factor. Furthermore, Palin has a likeable style and toughness that neither Hillary nor Obama can match.
Excellent post on Palin.
I think that ticket would be a winner.

Thank you for the post, and for the links! Governor Palin certainly seems to have a lot of positives. She and Cantor are both intriguing possibilities.

One more thing: Palin would be an excellent counter to Hillary.
