I will have a lot more to say about the choice of Governor Sarah Palin and the Republican ticket in the next few days, but for now I will just say that Senator McCain has picked a winner. Governor Palin, unlike several of the names that were most frequently floated, is a candidate to which no conservative -- social, religious or economic -- can object.
In bringing to the fore a dynamic, bright and accomplished governor, Senator McCain has done himself, the Republican Party and the nation a great service. Contrary to the opinion of some, this blog has been very critical of the presidential nominees of both major parties. However, with a solid platform and a great, conservative Vice Presidential running mate, we're coming around!
As I said, much more on that in a day or two. For now, here's background on America's next Vice President.

Sarah Palin is a GREAT pick. All the Catholic teachers at the school I teach at as well as the priests at the parish were very excited.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin was by far the best pick McCain could have made. This is the best thing for the conservative movement since Ronald Reagan.
Sarah Palin is a much better pick than Joe Liebermann, I agree.
ReplyDeleteI think she may indeed help McCain win the election, but, in all honesty, I'm not convinced that at this point in her career she is qualified for the job (and I'm not exactly thrilled that a mother of five, one of them a new baby, has been chosen to hold the second highest office in the land.)
I would much rather have seen Huckabee or even Romney as the VP pick, but let's hope for the best with Sarah, who is, by all accounts, a righteous and sensible woman.
