I’m with you. I’ve always liked Mitt. I was rooting for Mitt for the top spot. I’ve been liking Sarah since she was first brought up some months ago on this site, but I didn’t think there was a hope it would actually come about.
I think this is a recognition that there is little bench strength in the pub party and it’s time to start putting some talented Triple-A players in the big league starting lineup. I really, really like that. I don’t think he could have made a better choice, and that gives me a better opinion of his decision making skills, almost a bigger plus than the fact that I like the pick.
And, McCain has some health issues. I’ve been saying all along that this was a very important decision for us, more important than normal, because he could fade healthwise.
Imagine if something happened to Obama — we’d have that grinning jackass in our faces day and night. If something, God Forbid happened to McCain we’d have just the right person at just the right time.
*shudder* Jackass is exactly right!
