Interesting. I learned this afternoon that McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Very interesting choice. It was politically risky, but what I know about her, I like.
1. She's a mother of five children. She probably understands families as well as anyone. She's pro-life, and I understand her youngest child has Downs syndrome. Her husband works in the oil field.
2. She's the governor of Alaska. Granted, she was elected in 2006, but she's a governor with all that entails.
3. She's from Alaska, probably our last frontier. She understands freedom, as all Alaskans do.
4. She's a hunter. She owns her own rifle. She's a life member of the NRA.
Granted, her foreign policy experience is probably non-existent, but as VP, it doesn't need to be extensive. I like what I'm reading about her.
The fact that she's a woman matters not. Unless you want a cheap political pander to the PUMAs. Some might consider Palin as McCain's answer to the female electorate, but I think it's more than that. She's a conservative that conservatives can like.
I like her.
well not totally zero on foreign policy. AK does border both Russia, Canada and has major international fisheries issues.
ReplyDeleteShe's a breath of fresh air, she works for me. Should change the ticket to read Palin/McCain.
ReplyDelete...and since, upon arrival of the new F-22 fighter squadron in AK, the Russ TU-95 Bear recon bombers have gotten active again, she, as Commander in Chief of the AK Air Nasty Guard, has actually put some military experience under her, what, 22" belt.
