Sarah Baracuda!! (her nickname from highschool basketball)

I watched her acceptance today. WOW! She is so articulate and just knocked it out of the park.

Can’t wait for her to eviscerate SloJoe Biden in the VP debate.

Got this email yesterday and thought I would attend if Romney was
the VP pick.
Otherwise no, as it’s about a 90 minute drive from where I live.
As I have stated before, my feelings about McCain were pretty tepid.

After watching Palin today, I am so enthused I reserved tickets for
this Road To Victory Rally scheduled the day after the GOP Convention ends.

WooHoo!! I never thought I could be a McCainiac. Go McCain-Palin!

After last night, I was seriously considering going Libertarian and damn the consequences, but after today, I can vote republican without having to hold my nose. Very Happy

There seems to be a potential scandal brewing involving the ex-husband of Palin's sister and a custody battle where Palin may have intervened using her office "inappropriately". Anything to it?

I hope you're right, but never underestimate the ineptitude of the Republicans to blow an election by not doing all their homework. Has anyone seen Dan Rather near a copier lately?...nothing is beneath the Leftists these days....

American Thinker explains some of it.
The ex brother-in-law sounds like a nasty guy, tasering a 10-year-old.

Tews, she is being "investigated" because she fired the Democrat Public Safety Commissioner. The Fired Commissioner claims he was let go because he refused tofire her ex-brother-in-law.

A wrench in the monkeyworks of his claim is that the ex-brother-in-law is still on the State Patrol.

This is just another Democrat ploy to bash and denigrate a Republican. It is the tactic they are using all over the nation to demonize Republicans.

I'm being told that she has a better record protecting Alaskan fishing and oil rights against the Russians than the U. S. State Department, and Obama wants to "sit down and discuss" giving away more of our sovereignty. No contest. Next criticism?

By the way, I work with a former winner of (don't want to mention the state, but it is a Western state) the Miss America competition for her state several years ago. She and her husband ride motorcycles, hunt, fish, have a great family, ...maybe it isn't just a beauty contest after all. It seems to prepare them for honest work a whole lot better than being a "street agitator" or graduating from Ivy League Law Schools ever has.

We can't ignore the timing of this pick.

Announcing today, the day after Obama accepted the Democrat Party nomination and ended a week long convention, sucked all of the oxygen right out of the expected bounce for Obama.

Instead of all the news focused on him, it is solidly focused on McCain and Sarah Palin.

Seems to me, the young bright Obama got snookered by the crinkly old gray haired man Laughing

Well Played, McCain, Well Played.

To be honest, I did not think McCain had it in him. My wife was sure he was going to name his old buddy Joe Lieberman and I was not sure, myself, that he wouldn't. What a disaster that would have been.

Fortunately, he made the best choice he possibly could have. The lady is fantastic. Can't wait to see her and Hillary face off in 2012. (That presumes that McCain will bow out after 4 years of course, but if he really does put country 1st, he could leave no finer legacy.)

I'm feeling more optimistic than I have in a long time.

Palin/Jindal..........now that is a pair to draw to.

Obama gives his "I am the coming Nightmare" speech on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, so McCain announces his pick of a woman on the anniversary of the granting of Woman's Suffrage. Obama's convention balloon deflated faster than the Hindenburg, and on fire, too, with a lot of Hillary supports gathering torches and pitchforks.

Since Obama loves basketball, picture this cartoon: Hillary is dribbling down the court for an uncontested layup (a big number "1" on her uniform). Out of nowhere comes Obama to block the shot (in big letters "The ONE" on his uniform). The rebound goes to Sarah Palin (with the word "WON" on her uniform), who drains a 3-pointer...priceless. OR, since Palin is a "Hockey Mom", visualize Joe Biden as the goalie and Palin coming in on a breakaway. The look of panic on his face as she races toward him cradling the puck and then....SCORE!!!!

Things have started looking a lot better over the past 24 hours.
