I couldn't hold my excitement this morning, John McCain announced his running mate: Sarah Palin, the 44 year-old Republican Governor of Alaska. The choice was widely praised in many conservative talk-shows and blogs (including this one) This marks the first woman to be nominated on a Presidential ticket since the 1984 election (when Reagan was re-elected in a 49 state landslide) and the first time the Republican party has nominated a woman for national office.
But why? why would Senator McCain choose Palin? Palin is the two-year governor of a state that is the very fringe of the country. she's only served two years as Governor. What makes Palin a good choice? several things. First off, Palin is from a middle-class family, not a privelaged elite. Palin understands the frustrations and problems that worry us. Palin during her years as Mayor of Wasilla, AK and Governor of Alaska, Palin has slashed taxes and flatlined wasteful spending. for example Palin finally pulled the plug on the "bridge to nowhere" after Senator Ted crybaby Stevens was trying to push down the throats of Alaskans who wanted nothing to do with the project. Palin managed to get a Natural gas pipeline from plan to construction in one year. no small feat in today's world of eco-idiots.
Already the liberals are gearing against Palin, pointing to her "youth" and "lack of experience". as if His Holiness Barack of Obama is any better. Palin has done amazing work as Alaskan governor, much better then Barack would've done. Palin is currently the most Popular governor in the country. Some people claim that the choice is an attempt to pick up Women voters. so what? Obama has been working off trying to catch black voters ever since his campaign started in the home of William Ayers. Oh and thats another thing, neither McCain or Palin are friends with a terrorist who claim to be proud of bombing the capitol, but back to subject...
Palin has solid conservative credentials, she's pro-life, small-government, and for a strong national defense. She's an NRA member and an Avid hunter. She's for oil exploration and production. in short, she's the perfect candidate. McCains choice represents a radical departure from "the politics of the past", probably one of the best choices McCain could've made.

Sigh. I said this today on the phone, and I'll say it again.
The only freakin' reason McCain chose Palin was because she is a woman and he wanted to get some women's votes away from Obama. That's the only reason.
She's only been a governor for 2 years, as you mentioned, and she has no experience at all in foreign defense policy. The whole reason there's a VP is just in case the president dies, there will be a capable person to take his/her place. Now, someone who's only been a governor for 2 years and has absolutely no experience whatsoever in foreign policy doesn't sound like a good choice to me.
I don't think he should have picked her. If you couldn't tell. lol.
so Obama's 135 days in the senate qualifies him? doesn't the fact that Obama launched his campaign from the home of William Ayers mean anything to you? Palin's accomplishments trump Obama's by far!
