Wow. In one swoop, this morning John McCain dropped out of the heavens thought to belong to Obama and stole his mile-high, messiah complex, celebrity filled political superbowl last night, with the surprise selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his female Vice President running mate. It's all the buzz and all everyone is talking about.
Hillary has to be ticked.
The selection of Gov. Palin, and up and coming political figure, is highly respected, appears feisty and ready to take on the challenge. Her selection further removes the argument that this Republican ticket is "same 'ol, same 'ol". McCain is proving he can be a maverick.
Palin is a true working class mom. She is not rich, she is a mother of five (one who is about to go to Iraq), her husband works in the oil fields of Alaska, she has worked in both the private sector and the political arena setting those that are corrupt on their heals. She represents the middle class American woman way more than Hillary in her elitist lifestyle could ever imagine.
What is comical is that now the GOP is the party reflecting real change. We have a Presidential candidate who truly has worked across party lines and his record proves it and now we have a young, exciting female Vice Presidential running mate that is considered a hard core, tough conservative who is far removed from the norm of Washington politics.
In contrast, the Democrats tout a Presidential candidate who has less experience than our VP candidate does, and their Vice Presidential candidate (Joe Biden) is a Washington insider of all things! Barack has done nothing for 17 months but preach how his campaign will be different from all of the rest and how he will change things as a new outsider, yet he selects a running mate who is mired in nothing but the same old Washington politics. Typical Democratic hypocrisy.
What a great day for being a conservative American that believes in freedom of speech, the entrepreneur spirit, the ability to earn significant income, the military power of America, the greatness of our nation and government staying out of the way.
In other news:
1. The Obama campaign is already attacking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as inexperienced. Are they kidding? Barack is running for the Commander in Chief. She is just running as the VP and yet she still has more experience than Obama does. This statement does nothing but come back against him as an ignorant boomerang of friendly fire against himself!
2. Apparently the Democrats are getting worried. Obama did not get 10% the bump in the poles he should have from the DNC and this "outside the box" VP selection by McCain is now all the buzz. Plus, the Republican convention is yet to occur. With Obama barely leading in some polls, and trailing McCain in others, it appears a win could happen for McCain. No Democratic contender has won the election in the last 30 years without being ahead by double digits in the polls over the Republican rival 90 days prior to the general election. On top of that, the face-to-face debates that Obama has refused to partake in will now occur and McCain will likely destroy him and he gets to do so 3 times! It is looking great for McCain.
3. McCain made a slam dunk with the American public because of his responses and sincerity at the Saddleback Civil Forum a few weeks ago. Obama looked nervous, out of place and seemed to worried about being"politically correct" rather than being straight forward about his extreme liberal views.
4. Jimmy Carter has always been a nut. He has only become more ignorant. His latest statement about McCain "milking every advantage" out of his POW experience was stupid, unreal, thoughtless, and did nothing but remind everyone how what a terrible President he was.
More later.
