She was almost tearing up at the end of that clip. Man I hope she sticks around the national stage one way or another.

Is that the brand name of the jacket?
To: TheFourthMagi
Yes.
I felt somewhat melancholy watching and listening. Oh how we hope and pray she is our Vice President-elect tomorrow morning.

It’s a brand of “work” clothes. I also happen to believe Mike Pence is the best Congressman in the country. I wish he was my congressman.

I noticed that, too. Her speeches on Monday showed similar emotion at times - hopefully it's not due to her knowing the internal polls show the good guys lost.
She truly energized the conservative base and I hope Sarah will consider 2012 if hussein and his marxist thugs don't create a permanent socialist majority.

Poor darlin’ must be exhausted! She campaigned up to the end through every time zone in the country, slept on a plane to get there, and is taking off again. God bless her.

I want Sarah Palin and Mike Pence to team up in 2012.
To: TheFourthMagi; All
Yes, she's beautiful, charming, intelligent...all of those things. More than that though, she's America'a Iron Lady in the making.

Voting in jeans and a Carhardt jacket? Is it possible to love this woman even more? Don't worry, my wife isn't jealous. She loves Sarah, and her family, too.
Godspeed Sarah!

My wife is probably like many American women; she really doesn't gravitate toward political discussions. She isn't particularly interested or well-versed in the issues. She likes to garden, read, spend time with our children and animals. She is a super mom! She genuinely dislikes the vitriol and bitterness that entails in the wake of many political discussions gone wrong. If she gets involved in any, it is only to quell tempers and bad feeling.
I have tried to get her out to vote in the past, as she isn't particularly knowledgeable on political matters; I have not pushed very hard. She grew up with a thread of liberalism through her mother and cynical indifference through her Dad. In the past, she has had some pretty mush-minded and misinformed ideas about politics, so I was kind of afraid that she would simply cancel out my vote. My wife has a lot of really hardcore, nasty liberal friends from her days in the rat race and comments that she always receives un solicited and unwelcome e-mails from them with their views on politics. She does not respond and has recently picked up on a term that I use, Daily Kooks, those she knows not the point of reference or the context of the term. The words roll off her lips ~ Dai-ly Kooks? Its almost as though she looks to me for confirmation that she is using the term correctly.
Since August she has become ever so slightly more interested in the election She's pretty annoyed about all of the rancor that surrounds Palin, as well seems charmed by Governor Palin's energy and attention to her family in spite of the length and pressure of the campaign.
I was happy a couple of weeks ago to see that she had received a voter registration card and had left it on her desk. Based on our discussions I was comfortable that she wouldn't go over to the Dems. Regardless, I was proud that she decided that she needed to get involved.
This morning she asked me a couple of questions about Amendment Questions and School Board members, my children go to private school, but I try to do right by my neighbors with kids in public school. I gave her the straight stuff, with no opinion or slant.
"When do we vote?", she said.
I usually take my kids but knew that our schedule would not permit it this election year, which is too bad, because my 2nd grade daughter is pretty tuned up for Palin, as well.
We voted. She seemed to enjoy herself chatting and making small talk with the "good old boys" down at our local Grange Hall. As we drove back home we were both pretty quiet. It was a beautiful day here in central Maryland and the leaves are still hanging out in golds and oranges. She took a breath and said, "I really just don't know about any of the guys in this election? But I sure think that Sarah Palin has got a lot of gumption. She's really something special!"
To which, I could neither add nor detract. Very proud of Governor Palin and my wife, as well. I think we have a new conservative. Shes a work in progress.

Hi Terabitten,
I'm life long LA resident and love Bobby Jindal. He truly is amazing. We've been watching him for many years and are incredibly proud of our Gov.
His only “weakness” are his speeches. He is a mega-genius and talks very fast. Gets too technical. He's going to have to work on this, it's so important.
