I’m one of the few who liked McCain before the Palin pick, but I’m definately stoked afterwards. I think the criticisms of McCain are a bit overblown. There are lot of issues that matter and McCain is right on enough of them. If nothing else McCain’s lack of “GOP purity” is probably an advantage in this election anyway.
Senator McCain’s mother said the conservatives would hold their noses and vote for him. I had planned to do that very thing literally.I was in Vietnam for a year[67-68] and that seemed an eternity to me. I can almost feel the agony of being there locked up, tortured and probably feeling deserted by your own countrymen not for a year, but for many years. It seems easy now to forget the sacrifice. Much like the ill informed liberals that have forgotten September 11, 2001.This, if nothing else, gets my vote. Governor Palin is a bonus.
