Yesterday a breath of fresh air blew into Dayton, Ohio and that fresh air was Sara Palin, John McCain’s pick for VP.
Now he could have chosen any woman, any mild mannered, soft spoken, wimpy woman, but no, he chose the barracuda.
This is exciting to me that a woman has been chosen and not just any woman, but a magnificent specimen of one. She is the Washington Beltway, old boy network, OUTSIDER. She is fresh, tough, competitive, smart, and she has fought corruption in her own party, yes, the Repubs, and kicked them over Prudhoe Bay.
This is one tough lady. And for all the naysayers who think she will be put into the broom closet under lock and key or sent to Siberia never to be seen or heard from again, I say think again. This is no ordinary woman. She will not be McCain’s shadow. If she is relegated into the broom closet I’ll bet my boots she tells McCain straight to his face to shape up or she is shipping out, like in resigning.
Now a lot of people do not agree with all McCain has done during his service to this country. But, there is one thing I do not think anyone can disagree on and that is that McCain loves his country.
For that reason I believe that McCain chose this woman and put her on a silver platter to be handed over to conservatives as a gift to our country in his twilight years.
He knows his time is fading. He is 72 years old. He is fighting melanoma on a daily basis. He is fine for now, but that may not always be the case. What a better gift could he leave us than this fresh, competitive, fiscally responsible, corruption fighter, Sara Palin. If something were to happen to him who would we have as president? Sara Palin!
Yes, she needs to get her feet wet and she will have that opportunity if McCain gets elected. But there is no doubt in my mind this woman is up to the job. And, even if McCain does not get elected, Sara Palin will now be a national player in the field of Republican candidates for the next election.
She will be a known force with which to be reckoned.
For those people who say “so what is the relevance of being a VP” I will use one of my readers’ words, Dogged. He said, “I bet Lyndon Johnson did not feel irrelevant when he had to step into the shoes of John F. Kennedy.”
