So what makes Palin special that she should be selected ahead of anyone else? There isnt any single qualification. It is the combination of things that makes Palin an excellent choice. She is young, dynamic, a cost cutter, and she has populist roots, as well. She is likely to help cement the Middle American hunting and fishing generally blue collar vote through her ties to a similar community in Alaska. She is a pro-life Christian, which will strengthen McCains hand with the evangelical community. While we havent seen it yet on the national scene, she may be a tougher woman than Hilary Clinton. She made her way into the governors office on her own, rather than on her husbands coattails. At the same time, she can be a diplomat. She was named Miss Congeniality in the Miss Alaska pageant. In short, she as all the credentials to be a strong running mate, who can help strengthen the foundation that McCain needs to win this year.

Yes. I know.
Its a waste of time putting this up.
“Sadly, I must agree with you. Too bad though. Palin would have enabled McStupid to win big”
Well Palladin, guess we “misunderestimated” ole McCain. He made a superb choice. Couldn’t be happier. Heck, I am so happy I am now even gonna mail in my usual little bitty $100 GOP contribution...
I really wish I could have told you more yesterday. Sarah and John are going to make all of you very proud to be conservatives! Please continue to support both of them with everything you can.
I have to go. it's time to start passing out the yard signs and posters.

I am cheerfully and happily eating my words right now! And that hat that some other guy said he would eat, with or without mustard!
This is a brilliant choice. The lamestream media is having conniption fits right now.
After being introduced to Mrs. Palin and her gorgeous family, and hearing her speak at the Ohio rally, I am pleased as punch with this selection.
Beautiful, prolife, feminine, patriotic, ethical, religious,enthusiastic, confident—Sarah Palin is the antithesis of Mean Michelle, Pelosi-mafiosi, Butch Clinton, and all those other horrible Democrat women!!!!!
Whew! I am blown away by this ticket. This IS the winning ticket.
I am going to get involved in this campaign like I have not done since the Reagan nomination!
Talk about energizing the base: a War Hero and a Prolife Executive...WOW! WOW! WOWEEEEEEE!
