To be honest, I was initially disappointed. Like many of you, I was really hoping for Romney.
On the other hand, Palin appears to be exactly the kind of woman that irritates liberals, and that warms my heart to no end.
She hunts, fishes, cooks, works on a fishing boat, appears in beauty pageants, has a lot of children, and does not abort a child known to have a handicap. After all that, she appears to be genuinely happy to boot. She has a rugged, back-country, hard-working husband who is a champion snowmobile racer. She has the good, wholesome family that every conservative loves.
It also makes me happy to see the pundits comparing her experience with Obama's experience.
How is it that they miss the tiny little fact that they are comparing the Republican VP candidate's experience with the Democrat's Presidential one?
I hope she can handle what is ahead. I would hate to see such a wonderful family destroyed by the viper pit of Washington politics.

Dang Alan! You should be a politcal columnist writer! I'd be your biggest fan.
I was initially skeptical and worried about the "lack of experience" too, but then I remembered she is a mom of 5 kids, one going to Iraq as a soldier and one a new born I have to give her some high marks for life experience. She has a wide range of experience! That still won't settle the lack of "Foreign Policy" issue that everyone is focasing on, but that's ok, because McCain has it. Isn't that what both parties are doing? Making sure they are balancing their tickets? Both candidates are trying to form the most complete team by chosing someone that has what they lack and what can bring in the Votes. Since I have studied up on her, I am sold and elated to have an opportunity to vote for a woman who I can see stands for what I stand for. I could not have voted for Hillary that way, because of her liberalness, but I can for Palin. Conservative and solid. God Bless America.
Amen to both of you. I feel the same way you do. It is a great ticket. We have to pray to have the best people lead our country.
