I had read a few rumors last night and was very pleased this morning to read (first on CNBC, then the Chicago Tribune) that Alaska Governor Sarah “Barracuda” Palin will be John McCain’s running mate.
SWEET! :D
Nicknamed “Barracuda” by her high school basketball team mates, Palin will, IMO, be a smart choice. Not only does she bring executive experience to the table, she’s a big supporter of our troops (a HUGE plus in my book!) as well as the global war on terrorism. She’s against wasteful government spending. Some prime examples of this: once she was in office, she got rid of the governor’s private plane and limo. She takes commercial flights and takes her SUV.
She has had a 80-90% approval rate. Guys will like her because not only is she pretty, she also hunts, fishes, and is an overall outstanding outdoorswoman. She’s a mother of 5, and will no doubt make a great Vice President.
In short: She is a man’s woman and a woman’s woman.
You can find a great bio here. Don’t take my word for it, look it up! :)

I loved that it was announced shortly after the Dems convention, which should take away any “bump” O/B would have gotten in the polls.

I hope that Heart song is played when she is introduced at the
convention. It would stir things up real good. I think Palin is a
fantastic choice and a slap in the face to those evil Democrats.
“Hey you evil Democrats, we have a female politician who is not
a horrible bitch! She has morals and people actually like her!”
The only other woman who I think would have been a wonderful
choice is our own Dr. Condoleezza Rice but I believe she is too
smart to want to get involved in all that. Perhaps next time around,
Sarah “Barracuda†Palin could run for President. I think she would
be the worst nightmare for Muslim Terrorists.
