Sarah Palin: This is the Change I've Been Waiting For!

Here's my two cents:

I love the choice of Sarah Palin for McCain's VP, if for no other reason than it forces the media to divert their attention, at least temporarily, from Obama. However, she also seems to be a tremendous pick in terms of reassuring conservatives that McCain is aware we still exist. Sure, her lack of experience is a potential liability, particularly in the foreign policy vein, but if Obama wants to try to make it an issue, he can't help but come out looking ridiculous, given that he basically has the same lack of experience.

Palin is also tremendously strong on energy policy, and seems to have her head in the right place there, which is obviously going to be one of the most important issues as the weather gets colder. She seems quite charming, very smart, a good communicator, and she makes up a huge portion of the charisma gap that Obama had on McCain.

I love that she hasn't been afraid to take on those members of the Republican Party who give us a bad name, I only pray that her rapid ascension won't dissuade her from continuing to do the same in the future. And I love this.

The choice of Palin injects a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm (not to mention, cash) into the race on the side of conservatives. Finally, we've got someone on the ticket that we can truly be excited about, for whom I can feel proud and confident voting for. This is the change I've been waiting for!

And there will be nothing on this blog with regards to her daughter.
