Congratulations to Sarah Palin, McCain's VP

Unstoppable

Yesterday, on the last day of the DNC, Barack Obama delivered an emotional and unforgettable acceptance speech. Unfortunately, I cannot remember it- in fact most people don't care anymore because today in Dayton, Ohio, John McCain snatched the spotlight from 'The One' with the announcement of his VP choice.

Reasons Gov. Palin makes a good VP:

1. Republican: Palin will please the Conservative voters
2. Alaskan Governor: Palin will aid McCain in the energy crisis and hopefully have some influence on drilling in Alaska
3. Pro-life: Her fifth child was born with down-syndrome, but she declined an abortion. Good Job Palin! She gets the vote from Christians and other Pro-lifers. This will also wake some people up and show them that woman CAN be pro-life.
4. 44 years of age: She is younger than Obama...now let's see who really has the hope and new stuff? Although Palin was only elected Governor in 2006, she still has more executive experience than Obama, plus a 13 year political background.
5. WOMAN: Now we all know there are going to be those folks who are only voting based on race/gender. Well, hopefully the Hillary supporters and women will definitely vote for McCain/Palin. Remember Palin is also a mother of five, so she can relate to the people. (Her oldest is going to serve in Iraq)

Other:

• Palin has an 80% approval rating as governor of Alaska
• Palin is a lifelong NRA member
• 1984: Sarah Palin, then Sarah Heath was Miss Wasilla

Event quotes:

“My friends and fellow Americans, I am very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the United States, Governor Sarah Palin of the great state of Alaska.”
-John McCain

“I would be honored to serve next to the next president of the United States. To be chosen is a great challenge. I know that it will demand everything I have to give and I promise nothing less.”
-Gov. Sarah Palin
