A FACE OF DETERMINATION, A FACE OF CONFIDENCE,- THE FACE OF A WINNER!
DON’T GO WOBBLY ON HER! (Margaret Thathcher to Pres. George Bush- “...no time to go wobbly”)

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin arrived at the Boyer Orchards here Friday afternoon, entering a sweet-smelling wooden barn full of crates of apples. "This is gorgeous," Palin said, greeting workers.
The visit was designed to highlight small businesses and their special needs and how a John McCain administration would help them.
And the Republican vice presidential candidate did talk business and taxes with Matthew and Bruce Boyer, whose family has owned and worked this 300-acre orchard for 51 years now.
But it was after their business chat that Palin had some special moments with a special fan, Amber Brown. As Palin left the barn, an excited crowd outside was mid-verse singing "God Bless America," but roared at the sight of Palin.
Brown, who is 23 and from New Paris, held a poster that said: “I have Down’s syndrome and I’m voting for you. I’m a fighter too!”
Palin saw Brown, headed straight for her and they embraced. “I love that poster!" said the mother of a Down syndrome baby (Click on Read more line below to see photo of Palin with her infant son, Trig).
"You’re a fighter and you’re beautiful,” Palin told Brown. The pair posed for pictures and hugged again.
Palin then continued down the rope line, paying special attention to the babies and children, at one point crouching down beside four little girls.
Once Palin finished, she returned to Brown and embraced her again. Palin's husband, Todd, also came by and chatted with Brown and her family.
This is not an unusual encounter for the 44-year-old mother of five, who gets a little emotional at such moments, as a recent MSNBC video unexpectedly captured.

What a truly beautiful woman. Her beauty comes from deep within. This is an inspiring story. Thanks for the post.
Yes, sad that others apparently are putting their faith in polls, rather than God. Thanks. -:)
My faith is in the power of our Great and Mighty God! We surely need His Mercy and Justice. I’m still believing and praying that He will win this election for us. His Great Holy spirit, in this earth, is still greater than all of barack’s lies and deceit. I choose to believe that God’s truth will triumph. Those who trust in Him will not be ashamed.
Amen
