You certainly can’t fault Salter’s loyalty.
And this is a good defense of Palin:
“Every candidate for office who takes on an incumbent runs on a message of change and reform. Few live up to their promise. Sarah Palin ran against the political establishment in Alaska with the promise to clean up the self-dealing and corruption that had finally worn out the patience of Alaskan voters. She defeated an incumbent Republican governor and a popular former Democratic one, an impressive accomplishment in itself. But she didn’t just run as a reformer. She governed as one. That was the source of her appeal to John McCain. He holds in high esteem anyone of either party who keeps their campaign commitments to reform. He greatly admired Senator Russ Feingold and the late Senator Paul Wellstone for that reason, despite their liberal credentials and views on most issues. He chose Sarah Palin to underscore his commitment to reform and help him keep his promise once in office. He recognized she had little experience in foreign affairs, but so did his opponent. She was well-versed in the area of energy security, which would have been a priority of a McCain administration. She is hardworking, intelligent, and a quick study, and he believed she would learn by study and experience all she would be required to know as next in line to the presidency.”
Very good excerpt. It succinctly gets to the point of why she is the real deal and not rhetoric - which most people w/ character and heart have already seen. Thanks!
A message that hardly got effectively communicated to the general public thanks to inept and now disloyal McCain (former Bush) aides.
I can hardly stand to read the comments sections these days, anyone else read the comments to this article?
