As John McCain inches closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to secure the Republican nomination, attention has turned to the vice presidential sweepstakes. Who should McCain pick as his running mate? The answer will be especially important if the aging four-term senator's general election foe is a youthful freshman agitating for change.
Sarah Palin, the beautiful conservative Republican governor of Alaska, would be an ideal choice to help McCain slay this unholy ObamaOprah beast which is set to rake in nearly $50 million a month in campaign donations alone, and has intense auxiliary support coming from the unions, George Soros's billions-infused Democracy Alliance organization, and other rich Democratic networks.
Mrs. Palin is one of conservatism's own, and would be the first female vice president. She's young being only 44 (two years behind Senator Obama), she is wildly known to despise government corruption. She defeated a horribly entrenched and corrupt Republican political machine in Alaska. She has a son in the U.S. military. She's strongly pro-life, belonging, in fact, to Feminists for Life.
Gov. Palin could become the Republican Party's Segolene Royal, the French Socialist Party's glamorous leader known for her heels and political bite. She is the perfect antidote to Sen. Obama's cheap thrills, and would help rejuvenate conservatism.
If Camille Paglia or the huffers on Huffington Post are anything to go by, the standard line that will be repeated often against John McCain will be that he's an "old coot"; a vintage George C. Scott-style warmonger; old; hypocritical; and just plain odd.

Paging Weepin' George Voinovich.
Nat Hentoff recently wrote a piece making the case for Sarah Palin, titled “McCain, here is your Vice-President.”
She looks almost too good to be true.
Picking a female VP, and one with both beauty and brains, would be brilliant. She’s got the conservative creds to appeal to conservative voters. As a woman, she can pickup a portion of those who wanted to vote for Hillary.
Nothing puts NY in play.
It’s a fallacy that a running mate changes the vote in his state. The last time it made a difference was in LBJ in 64 because he STOLE Texas for Kennedy.
Palin could help with women, who live in all 50 states.
So in other words, you view the female gender as just being stupid enough to throw the lever for a candidate because a woman is on the ticket?
Hey, that sounds like HillaryLogik (c) at work! LOL
Hey, those first two names are great! Bristol, a Nascar track in Tennessee and Piper, a fine American aircraft manufacturer.
You’re starting to look like a stalker! LOL!
Many people like to vote for people who are like them. I wouldn’t call that stupidity unless the candidate doesn’t agree with them Ie a black Republican voting Bobama just to get a brother in.
A lot of on the fence women are gonna be mad Hillary lost. Palin is a mommy with a cute little special needs baby, this will tug at the heartstrings of those women who felt fell for hill’s crocodile tears. Actually those women are stupid.
That does it for me!
She has a son in the U.S. military.
You can stop, I'm convinced.
At least none of those names are in a Judy Collins song. :^D
Piper Laurie is the name of an Oscar-nominated actress.
Yeah, and ESPN's H.Q. is in Bristol, CT.
Fantasy...
McCain picks Sarah.
Obama picks Hillary.
We get to watch the Vice-Presidential debates on TV.
I’m not sure if she would accept the nomination, but Alaska.
Actually, Obambi picks first. The jackass convention in Denver is August 25-28. The Republican convention in Minneapolis follows September 1-4.
With Alaska’s Lt. Governor already running for the House seat, and Governor Sarah Palin possibly becoming McCain’s final VP choice, who is left in change of the entire state of Alaska?
None of which are as bad as Comp. Anal.
