When I saw Sarah and her lovely family, and realized this Godly Christian woman might actually be President one day, I wept with Gratitude to God; I’m 100% Thrilled and Overjoyed with this excellent pick!
McCain gains new interest, and shore up his base.....not something I thought he was interested in.
(Useful for BOTH Mitt & Hillary)
Remember: 2012 is ONLY 4 years away!

This new 21st Century of ours...
is really all about
freeing all the women of the world
to be all that that they
already are in GOD’s Eyes,
and all that they can be
...while here on the Earth.

This is such a great day! She’s a typical “Alaska woman”. Living there for 20 years spoiled me for my current Lower 48 life. Women up there are generally outspoken, bold, and multi-faceted. Now, living in California and working for local government, it’s difficult to deal with mealy-mouthed, back-stabbing, politically correct, whiny co-workers.
I remember taking the ski train to the boondocks, finding a large bush or tree in the absence of “facilities”, and partying in the polka car on the way back. That was the morning. We’d get back home, shower, change in to our evening gowns and fur (yes: FUR!) coats, and mukluks. Then, with high heels in hand, we’d head off to the World Affairs Ball. Women in Alaska pretty much do it all. And I never once saw anyone exchange business cards of plastic surgeons or making appointments for bikini waxes — topics of daily discussion in California.
When one takes an office of governing others, they figure out how they are going to take on the mantel of power. There are a series of questions a person asks themselves when they are making decisions that will effect many others. One of the first issues is “do I vote for what I think the majority of my constituents want?” Or “do I do my due dilligence on the issue and use my best judgement?” There are also the ethical and moral questions of character that create bright lines in some and fuzzies in other. Then there is the confidence that comes from knowledge of the issues and the development of a network of relationships with people who know and people who “do.” There is also the knowledge one gains in working with group dynamics and bringing folks to a common vision. Courage is being able to see yourself in that position of power and having the willingness and comfort level with yourself to take the responsibility of power. Confidence comes with time.
Palin, in her 12 year experience in various levels of government seems to have successfully worn the mantel, maintained her integrity, is grounded and has achieved high approval ratings from her constituents on job perfomance. She also has a good exposure to the challenging issues facing families, communities and states. I would say that this type of experience has tested her mettle and that she is ready to take on the responsibility of higher office.
Compared to Obama, I would say she has greater experience with responsibility and domestic issues.
What can I say but....PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a ho-hum McCain supporter, BUT....NOW I am energized!
Probably the best fall-out for us will be to focus on BHO’s ideas for the future, not his (lack of) accomplishments in the past. As Palin shows, you can be a great candidate without having a milelong resume, and the sooner we focus on that the sooner we will stop fighting the wrong battle and get McCain elected.
The Obama campaign is toast. He shoulda picked Hillary. Too late now.
I have been reading through the forum at www.hillaryclitonforum.net and it looks like they are just as excited as I am. It looks like people are starting to see that the Republican party is not the evil bigoted people that they thought, but the party of Lincoln that fought to end slavery and has always been pro-women and pro-people (even people who haven't yet been born — pro-life).
McCain / Palin ‘08 have my enthusiastic vote.

She is Conservative, Pro-Life (consistently and with a solid history, unlike some.......AHEM!......potential picks), a wonderful mother, wife, and Governor.
I mean, what is there not to like?
Unless you are a bitter "you know who" supporter.
With this pick also we WILL pick up more women voters. We have an arrogant black guy with an arrogant old white guy opposite the ticket.
I was almost jumping up and down at work, I am soooo happy about this.
To add to Evangelicals, I would include Catholics, gun owners and hunters and fisherman.
