It will only make Sarah stronger. No worries. She's tough as nails, anyway. I've been to Wasilla in the Winter. You gots to be tough to deal with that long term. Sarah is the real deal and the deal is complete. God Bless Sarah Palin. NObama is gonna go down in a landslide with his anchor Biden. Just a bummer for them. They'll get over it. :>
He already has, obviously, and may it continue in spite of her human weaknesses. I hope the choice was, in part, guided from above, but can't guarantee that it was. He leaves us to our free will. But what really has all of us utterly stunned, is that while I believe McCain's choice of Palin was calculated and a huge gamble, he had no idea of the enthusiastic firestorm that has been unleashed on our side.
I'm realistic about Sarah's resume. She can't make up with her genuine, warm appeal and obvious strengths what she lacks; she is going to have to work very, very hard to get fully up to speed. I'm betting on her, but something unforeseen could happen that could throw everybody off stride. I don't care what some people think, but no matter what, neither side is going to be able to deliver on all their promises so they had better be careful in what they are promising. All I'm asking is that they set realistic goals I can support and try their best. Sarah offers us renewed hope, but she didn't say drilling was going to solve the whole energy problem, etc., but did say it was better than doing nothing, and I couldn't agree more.

I refuse to yield to the temptation to become overly confident, think I have my feet planted on terra firma, some would question whether my head is in the right place, no matter :-). Hope you are right. They are pulling everything out of their bag of tricks they and their rabid supporters (we have a few, too, but I don't see that with Sarah) want so desperately to get rid of the "neocons" and anything that remotely resembles them. They will find that their smears, sneers, and derision will backfire, so they will try another tack, wouldn't put it past them to bring Hillary back on the ticket, and don't want to think beyond that because I simply don't know.
Enough from my keyboard. Nite, all! May the best woman win :-)
The best tv western ever made.
