McCain couldn't really have handed us a real conservative without issues. Why not? Palin's core philosophy and judgment are sound. I would not get too carried away with media pronouncements of her nonconservatism. OTOH, I share your doubts about McCain and only sent money reluctantly (before and after Palin). But there enough signs that Palin is rock solid on key issues like life and the 2nd amendment which I would consider ahead of shamnesty and others.

I didn't even know the MSM was saying she's not conservative. (I was in the mountains over the weekend). I just have a deep distrust of McCain, so I'm wondering when the bomb will drop. Hopefully never, but I'm on alert ;) Since I"m in Mexifornia and have seen the damage tens of thousands of illegals can do to a city, I think amnesty is front and center for me. It's also about the rule of law and not making a mockery of our citizenship process. I don't see how any conservative can overlook that. She will however, have to go along with McCain to appear unified. That's the part that is scary. What consensus will they come to on ANWR, for example, where they are 180 degrees apart? If she comes to his side on everything, that won't bode well for '12.

If the mass media, nearly all of them followers of the senator who is the farthest left of everyone in the Senate, I question their A: ability to judge what constitutes a conservative and B: motives.
