Make no mistake...this is a great pic.

She is a real conservative and I can tell you that I’m getting phone calls from local conservatives who would merely vote for McCain telling me they will give money and campaign.

It’s a masterstroke politically short term and long term. Short term it brings in BOTH conservatives and moderate women. Long term, it ensures a real conservative is the future of the Party and makes major inroads into a lost demographic, women.

Who would have thought that John McCain would be the person who would give a rebirth to conservatism in the GOP and the nation.

I have to admit that I was surprised McCain went with a 'solid' conservative. I really throught he would got with Lieberman or Graham.

Charles Krauthammer was on FoxNews this morning, before the announcement. He was saying McCain should go with a 'safe' pick -- a Romney or Ridge, but definitely not an inexperienced unknown such as Palin.

Maybe word finally got to McCain that, in order to win, he MUST have the conservative vote. Without it, he is history.
