In Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain has found a fellow maverick to be his running mate -- one who can help bring the right kind of reform to Washington. Ms. Palin, like Mr. McCain, has a strong record of battling the status quo, restoring accountability and effectiveness to government, and working to secure energy independence, root out corruption and curb wasteful spending.
As the chief executive of the nation's largest state, Ms. Palin oversees some of the country's largest energy reserves. She came into office at a critical time in Alaska politics, facing a system plagued by corruption. Her response was to immediately begin cleaning it up. The results of her leadership today speak for themselves: Ms. Palin's approval ratings top 80% -- more than 60% higher than that of the Democratic Congress.
Ms. Palin has a tangible, impressive record of achievement and executive experience. She is head of the Alaska National Guard and the chairman of two multistate agencies that make energy decisions that affect all Americans. While Barack Obama spent almost all of the past two years running for president, Ms. Palin has been running a state.
It's telling that Sen. Obama chose to give a negative, partisan speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. He envisions a Democratic monolith in Washington that will solve all of our problems...
Ms. Pfotenhauer is a senior policy adviser and national spokesperson for the McCain campaign.

ummm someone needs better math skills
The phrasing may be wonky but the point is clear--a writing style issue, not a math one.
It just cracks me up to hear the left whine and go into total panic mode when they realize all the weapons they had lined up and ready this election have suddenly been turned around and are being used on them.
You know, I had so many reservations about John McCain, however watching the mastery behind his campaign these past few weeks, I can have no doubt he's capable of leading this nation. I hope he's ready to take this battle right into the house and senate when he takes office.
“What’s happening here.” Uhng...
DNC = Democrat National Chauvanists
Lots of other relevant words beginning with “N” could be substituted.
percentage points, yes. Above 60% higher is quite a bit of an understatement. :)
This author/talking-head/campaign-hack looks just silly when she says stuff like this.
If we question Obama’s experience, are we all racists?
