:::Blushing::: thanks, randy.

I'm even more excited about her now. Can't wait to see what McCain says.

I thought of your comment when she said that. You are very smart Ellie.

Well, she compared herself to Truman in her speech, so I guess I'm not the only one who sees it :)

Makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining.

You know a movie is coming at some point :).

:::Hands on Hips::: Wow, I was wondering.

Well, she comes out of near obscurity (governor of Alaksa, Senator from Missouri). She use to have just a 'normal job,' (fisher, haberdasher). So they both were these underdog, regular person character types, rather than 'career politicians.' They both are known for fighting corruption in government and in their own party. They both seem very no-nonsense and grounded, rather than pretentious.

I don't know if that makes sense. She just sort of reminds me of Truman, and it makes me happy. :)

Sorry I don't know how I missed this one. How does she remind you of Truman?

Hi Paul! Thank you for coming by.

This is exactly my feeling.

I think this speaks volumes. It is one thing to speak about what you believe but to act on it really makes a statement. I am so excited about her being nominated.

Lets hope they are very vocal in pointing out the filibustering that goes on.

Thanks for chiming in Stephen. I think you are right about the "reform" theme. McCain/Palin have clear records of bringing reform whereas Obama doesn't have a record of "change" and can barely articulate what that means in practical terms.

I still have serious issues with McCain and they don't disappear because of Palin. However, Palin on the ticket makes me want to actually help in promoting the campaign beyond simply voting.

I also have to admit I am *done* with the RNC. They played us (conservatives) and they do awful things on the state level. Hearing that Palin busted people within "our" party makes me like her even more.

I see Obama playing with the institutionalized DNC (Biden, Clintons) and not reforming the politics as usual. McCain and Palin are modeling the new and authentic paradigm rising up within the RNC and country.

I might sound nuts, but she is starting to remind me of a Republican version of Truman. I'm really excited about this pick!

this is so true! For me, NOW, this is first major reason to vote for McCain - JUDGES... Judges who will be constitutionally guided and not legislate from the bench. There are a possible of three new appointees! THAT'S HUGE! We need judges who up hold the law rather than making it up as they go, like the black robe gods who have us Roe V. Wade... they should instead had been servants of God, as was originally intended by our founding forefathers.

I also like McCain's policies on security and foreign relations... especially his clear comment from Saddleback, you destroy evil, you cannot negotiate with evil as Obama would suggest.

Noticed the new direction... "REFORM" was loud and clear. Reform will be the new buzz word for the McCain campaign.

This seems like an answer to prayer for me, and many other Christians who are concerned about the direction of our country. I am looking forward to, and pray for a McCain/Palin victory to the White House on November 4th!

That's right on Randy! I have also notice that she does not parade her deeply committed beliefs in verbal dialogs, but seems to be actually living it!

Knowing her baby was Downs and embracing him instead of the liberal democrat way of abortion. It reminds me of St. Augistines' famous quote, "Preach the gospel all day long, and if necessary use words."

The more I look at this woman, the more I like here and it seems she truly is a dedicated Christian. I love it!

he and Palin will work to overturn Roe V. Wade and stop the wholesale slaughter of the unborn. They will do this in a number of ways but most importantly by appointing judges that will see that babies have human rights too.

And a bonus reason ... many Republicans deal with social justice issues through the church ... not the state.
