As a military wife, and as a woman, I am absolutely thrilled with Senator McCain's choice of a running mate.
Governor Palin is the epitomy of an "every woman." She has children, a special needs child, a son who is serving this country. She is the leader of a great state in which I used to live. She is poised, articluate and from what I've read about her, not a person to take lightly.
I think it is time for a woman on the ticket. I'm proud of the choice that has been made and I think America will see that the rhetoric that is constantly being spun on biased television shows is not what the party is about. I'm glad that Senator McCain sees in her the qualities that will no doubt be assets that America can benefit from.
I was going to vote for McCain because I thought he was the better candidate, with more experience. I will now vote for him, work for the campaign and make my presence known in the form of donations.
Obama may be a great orator and has great personal style, but the "Hollywood" connection and his own record will keep him from the white house.
Good luck to the McCain/Palin team. We'll be in Washington DC to help you celebrate your victory!
