Sarah Palin - pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-drilling, small government, strong defense, fiscal conservative, butt kicker. Hope some of it rubs off on McCain. And an Army Mom to boot! I may even be able to support this ticket.
She's in favor of drilling in ANWAR too! I love this pick!
Great pick Jim! I can’t wait for next years March for Life!
You might want to invest in a couple of new servers. I have a feeling it’s going to get busy up in here.

You’re going to be hard pressed to find a FReeper who opposes Sen. McCain more than I do. Yet, honesty demands giving credit where credit is due. Sen. McCain just knocked the ball out of the park.
A concern that I’ve had is that the GOP and it’s candidate would simply throw a well-gnawed bone to conservatives to secure their grudging support. No. Sen. McCain just gave conservatives a steak dinner at the best restaurant in town, with the promise of an ownership share in the restaurant.
I won’t vote for Sen. McCain. But I would vote for Gov. Palin in a New York second. The fact that Sen. McCain is also on that ticket....well, I don’t like that. But I might be able to ignore it as I vote for Gov. Palin for V.P.
Great VP pick, eh, Jim ????
:)
Conservatives holding out support, waiting for McCain to pick a conservative VP, get what we want.
I like Palin too but would like to know if she will give McCain a good butt kickin' on illegal immigration?
I understand she sent some of the Alaska NG down to the border, but other than that I don't have much clue on her stance on illegal immigration. Anyone care enlighten me?
I'm totally with you. I cannot believe what a difference this choice made to me.
:-D
As a mother of five, I think she’s got to be a butt kicker! (Ahem — coming from a mother of five).

Amen to ALL that!
Jim, I am watching Gov. Palin being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on CNBC. I have only seen two segments of this interview and I have to say that this lady is as sharp as a tack. Her answers on the oil issue are clear, concise, full of common sense, considerable knowledge and straight up honest. She is a real communicator. No hesitations, no pauses while she searches for an answer. She is a tremendous advocate for her state and no doubt will be for America. I am greatly impressed and I believe once more Americans can hear and see her in more than a sound bite, they’ll go for her in a big way.
I’m not a McCain supporter but he surely has hit a home run with this selection.

I would feel better about Palin if I knew her positions on immigration issues.

I can certainly support half the ticket, which is a lot more than I can support from the other side of the aisle.
What you said. I may even do some work for this ticket...
