I want to relate a discussion I had at work this week.
A union electrician asked me who I thought I'd be voting for. I told him I had been thinking long and hard about it, even comptemplating sitting it out with NObama and McCain as my choices.
But then, Sarah Palin was picked by McCain and introduced to America. Told him that that had sealed the deal for me.
He protested, but weakly. Finally admitting that he has been hearing that alot lately.
Cheers!
Interesting. Todd Palin in the Steelworker’s Union is yet another thing that Sarah has that the other three don’t. She can say truthfully she’s a union family. I wonder if that carries any weight.
Personally, I was unenthusiastic about McCain after the McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform bill which I still think is wrong-headed. (I want strict disclosure of contributors, not limits on donations.) But, I’ll forgive him that for this Palin pick which is nothing short of brilliant.
