Update:

Now official. Sarah Palin is McCain's VP choice. She gave a great speech. Democrat response has been to insult Mayors, Governors, as Obama who has no executive experience to qualify him for President has the nerve to suggest she doesn't have the experience to be VP. She is a heck of a lot more qualified than Obama. Before being Governor of Alaska she was Mayor of a small town. The Democrats insult that. This at a time that Mayors across America have noticed how Obama has not spoken to the majority of issues that face cities across America. Obama has not fully spoken to issues that Governors across America face. For Obama and the Democrats to attack her on experience is both insulting and stupid.

While Obama has given lip service to the needs of working class Americans and educators, Sarah Palin comes from a background to fully understand those issues. Her parents were educators. She and her husband have belonged to labor unions. And yet at the same time she understands the needs of the business community. This is the person America needs to be second in command while being groomed to be a future President. This is a woman who loves America and loves Americans. John McCain did good!!!

She is an avid hunter and outdoors woman. Just looking at the General Information I look at her as a female Teddy Roosevelt. From my viewpoint, that is a good thing. Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite President. Obama can have Abraham Lincoln. In my book, Teddy Roosevelt rules.
