“I have a lot of friends who are moderate Republicans and they as a rule, don’t like the Palin nomination. They were hoping for Romney . . .And now the base is upset by the pregnancy news.”
I fall into that group, and am a Romney supporter. However, I was pleased with the Palin pick, and as a mother who raised three teenagers, the pregnancy news just gives me more compassion towards Governor Palin. Her family has certainly shown grace under fire! I had said all along that I would only vote for McCain if he chose Romney (and I still think the world of Romney) but with his pick of Governor Palin, and my observations since that pick, put me squarely into the McCain Palin Camp!!
I currently have three teens and I think all kids should be mad at Bristol. They are going to be getting lectures for quite a while . . .*grin*
I like the choice. For better or worse, she sure looks genuine, doesn’t she? I hope that translates into strong, clear stands on the issues.
