Ok, I got home just in time to see McCain introduce his VP pick. Obama and Biden are SCREWED!

This solidifies my decision to vote McCain.

And it is not just because there is a woman on his ticket. It is because John McCain selected a woman. He put his presidency on the line, he put his faith in a woman. He considers a woman a worthy running mate. And he showed respect for those 18 million Hillary supporters, and he showed that he listened to the women in America, and that he values what we have to say.
Unlike Obama.

Obama made a very big mistake in not selecting Hillary. (although I did not want her on that sinking ship) Obama made a very big mistake telling Hillary supporters to get over it. He made a very big mistake in not reaching out to us. He made a HUGE mistake in never trying to control the vile attacks towards Hillary supporters, from his supporters. And he made a huge mistake in never speaking out to control the attacks on Hillary during the primaries. And his wife made a big mistake when she was asked if she would support Hillary, should she be the nominee. And they made a HUGE mistake when they tried to paint the Clintons as racists. And they screwed up when they tried to threaten us with Roe v Wade.
They are going to have a very hard time going after Sarah Palin, especially on her pro-life stance. You can’t attack a woman who stands by her convictions.
John McCain shook things up, and selected a new kind of candidate, a candidate who will bring change, and who is truly from outside of Washington.

Obama selected Biden, a guy who has been in DC for 35 years. Obama went safe, and mainstream. What kind of change is that?

I am very excited to getting to know her, as a candidate and a person. From what I have read and heard so far, I like.

I am sad, that Hillary is not where she should be. She should be on the Dem ticket – heading the ticket, but on it either way. She truly did break the glass ceiling, but, sadly for her, and her supporters, it is Sarah Palin that will be walking through it.

But, if all goes well – McCain/Palin will win, and Hillary will become Majority Leader, and the most powerful person in the Senate. And maybe then, we truly will have a non-partisan government that will work together, and get things done!
Way to go McCain!

And thank you Hillary Clinton, for enduring all that you have, in these past 18 months, and your whole political life, really, for breaking that glass ceiling, and putting a woman in the White House, one way or another. You truly are an inspiration, a fighter and a hero. And you will never be forgotten.

p.s. Is it just me, or is everyone excited to see Tine Fey on SNL, as Sarah Palin?
