A lot of the taking heads have been touting the move by McCain to select Sarah Palin as his running mate as a move to get women voters. The one thing they are either missing or glossing over is that she was the BEST choice for McCain to rally the conservative base. Palin is a true down to earth conservative who is from outside the beltway and actually bets me excited about the election now.
Before the pick, I was planning on voting for McCain, primarily against Obama and not necessarily for McCain. This pick has turned my vote from a negative vote to a possative. Now I am excited to vote for McCain/Palin! I think this choice will move the conservative base of the Republican Party to action. Whereas before there was a lot of complacency.
GO McCAIN/PALIN!!!
