Hold on to your hats ladies, it is gonna get rough!
I have been surfing thru (folks this is by far the most positive Palin thread here on FR). Like you, t-o-l, I am psyched and ready...I think there are alot of strong, conservative women here who will have Gov. Palin’s back...BRING IT!
As a man this pick excites me too! For one, it means the Republicans will be the first to break the glass ceiling for women at that level of position as Vice President if they win. And most importantly, Sarah Palin is an excellent Conservative, she's smart, she's tough, and she'll definitely get the Republicans back into the White House.
It's a winning ticket!
McCain/Palin '08
If Palin is truly McCain’s pick, not only will women come out in droves to volunteer on his campaign, but (real) men will, too, as they learn more about her, her husband, and their family.
He couldn’t have made a better pick to cause me to get out and work on his campaign. I worked on Romney’s campaign here in Florida and was really disappointed that Huckabee and then Crist conspired to keep Romney from the win. I had hoped that Romney would be the VP choice because he had the second-most votes. Then Wednesday, I thought it might be Pawlenty because of various things I heard, so I reluctantly was ready to accept him if it was true. I wouldn’t have enthusiastically helped in McCain’s campaign though.
Now I will, if Palin is his pick!! Whoo Hoo!! I’ll head straight down to the Republican HDQTRS in Orlando today if it is! (Gotta go down there anyhow to get more McCain stickers as someone tried to scrape mine off the back window of my car already. -They couldn’t get at my “NObama” stickers staring at them through my windshield. I keep my visors down at all times and have those stickers on the back of them facing out. :)
And the worst is 2/3rds of them are other women!! I am excited, too! : )
