Early this morning I called my mom and she told me the incredible news: "John McCain picked his running mate and its a woman from Alaska and she is Awesome!" I couldn't believe how excited I was to come home and meet this woman via the tv news and see who she was. The beauty of this is that no one saw it coming and she rocks! My first impression of Governor Sarah Palin is that she ran for previous office because she honestly wanted to help the people of Alaska. Her first position: PTA president for her child's school. No one runs for that position thinking that someday they will be the vice president......right? Another thing that impresses me is that she is a mother of 5 children (she knows my world and the world's of many other mothers); she is practical (eloped to save money, and sold the state jet to save money) ; and my favorite...when gas prices went too high, she took the excess state revenue and gave it BACK to the people of Alaska.... no political agendas. The big question today is that she might not have the experience necessary to be the president in an emergency.......hmmmmm, the way I see it, Senators make laws and Governors are the executives who make the decisions that are best for the people. People, in an emergency, you want someone who is decisive. She has an extremely high approval rating from her own state and she has been in communtiy service for 13 years. I don't think the democrats view her inexperience as a threat, but they view what she has done in those 13 years as a threat......and they may want to be ready for this 'female maverick' who just may shock us all! And I say, "shock away!" and its about time! U rock Gov. Palin.
