I WROTE a column back in June saying Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be the ideal running mate for Sen. John McCain. But I never thought he'd pick her.
I underestimated him. And Democrats will underestimate "Sarah Barracuda" at their peril.
At 44, Sarah Louise Heath Palin is the youngest governor in Alaska's relatively brief history as a state. She's also the nation's most popular governor, with an approval rating in the 80s.
Ms. Palin is popular in part because of her personal qualities. She earned the "Sarah Barracuda" nickname as the point guard on her Wasilla High School basketball team, which she led to the state championship in 1982. Two years later, when she won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant (and went on to be the first runner-up in the Miss Alaska contest) she was also named Miss Congeniality. Fire and nice.

Freudian slip?
After all, post-inauguration, if he reverts to his old "maverick" (i.e. liberal Democrat) personality, he's going to screw all of us, Palin or no Palin.
Many prayers out to her in the coming days. I am so very excited to see her in action, but cautious as I do not know her. If she is anything like she was in her speech the day JM picked her for VP, watch out Dems--this lady is articulate, confident, and will take on the crappers and there is a whole lot of cra- coming out of Biden and Obama's mouths.

LOL! great new tag.
:D
Woah. Can you forward to me snippets of some of the Freepmail you’re receiving, without any names named?
will be happy to do so ;-)
Have you seen the Photoshop of the sign yet? I don’t have a link, but it says “McWhatshisname” in small letters, with “Palin” underneath in much larger ones.
If you really want to see a liberal’s face turn a “whiter shade of pale” just say “Let’s see, two McCain terms, that’s eight years and two Palin terms for sixteen, plus Bush’s eight, why that’s 24 uninterrupted years of Republican presidencies. My, my, my . . .
I like your tagline - it goes well with mine.
The PUMA gals are donating money to McCain/Palin.
it may be great new tag, but it is a vote wasted for Palin as Vice President. Not too smart.
“Mr. McCain has shown political skills few of us thought he had. I think he’s about to take the new kid to school.”
This election is gonna be fun!
1. Palin clearly gets us beyond the boomer generation, go along to get along mentality. If there are any great boomer leaders they sure are not in government. If there is one thing to be said against the world's greatest generation, they sure picked out a bunch of suckups as their successors rather than kick them to the curb in favor of folks who actually worked at something.
2. Speaking of which, Sarah and Tod have what they got because they worked for it and EARNED it. What an unamerican idea.
3. The campaign theme ougth to be along the lines of:
We are at an important crossroads. Is your government going to be run by a servant of the people or by your lord and master, a deus ex machina, with strings pulled by the Rezco.
4. She has and will toss out the good ol' boys, and believe we the Republicans have more good ol' boys in this town, DC, than the democrats do.
Re: Your tagline. You’re an idiot. And that’s not a personal attack. It’s observable fact. It is quite amusing to see how conflicted and contradictory people like you are.
What is not too smart is voting for liberals, no matter what the letter behind their name, and no matter what else they may attempt to bribe you with.
Fabulous debating skills. I am impressed. Really, phenomenal.
