A 10 out of 10.
From what I’ve read, she’s also a pretty good shot.
May Rush play the bump James Brown’s tune “I feel good”
Cantor was my first choice but I’m extremely pleased here. She sounds like a true conservative and someone of the highest integrity (which shouldn’t be surprising as that’s a conservative principle).
McCain really jumped outside the box here as I was expecting a retread. I think this is a brilliant move on a number of fronts and I’m pumped up. Now have a reason to vote for as opposed to simply voting against.
McCain must actually want to win this election!!!!
I’ve got the CBS Morning show on. They broke in, ‘McCain picks Palin”....”now back to the Messiah”.
They don’t even want to talk about it if it’s not about Barak.
Governor Sarah Palin Petitions Reid on ANWR
http://www.anwr.org/Headlines/Governor-Sarah-Palin-Petitions-Reid-on-ANWR.php
Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska submitted a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on the importance of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to address the energy crisis. Sen. Reid is a staunch foe of opening ANWR and has a long track record blocking ANWR legislation. Gov. Palin sent an official letter to Reid stating how ANWR could provide 1 million barrels of oil a day and provide relief at the pump for all Americans over time.
The Governor, like the Alaskan Governors before her, is extremely passionate about how Alaska holds the answers to much of America’s energy dilemma and that Alaskans have been shouting this solution for decades. Palin strongly supports opening the 10-02 Area of ANWR to oil and gas development as well as environmentally responsible development of the outer continental shelf (OCS).
This is so motivating. McCain gets it!!! I can’t wait to see her against Biden in the debates!!
**Abortion: Palin is outspokenly pro-life.
Marriage: Palin opposes same-sex marriage and stated on her campaign web site that she believes “marriage should only be between a man and a woman.”**
She gets my vote!
LOL!!
SARAH PALIN!!! WER DOOOMED!!!
Miss Alaska AND Miss Congeniality?!?!?
In 1984, Palin was first runner-up in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant after winning the Miss Wasilla contest earlier that year, winning a scholarship to help pay her way through college.<3><5> In the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and also won Miss Congeniality. Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose burgers, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane.<6><7> Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska, but says that she did not like it.<8> http://www.democraticunderground.com/

Does this mean Dobson will now vote for him?

Just in from the Obama camp, “We are soooooooooooooooooo screwed.”
Sarah appears to be a dynamite choice with her stand on many issues. She does, however, seem to waffle a bit on Anthropogenic Global Warming ™Anthropogenic Climate Change ™.
