And then Obama … and then Palin … and then and then

What a whirlwind in the Presidential election '08! Obama, sorry fellow Republicans, he did great last night whether we like it or not. There were a few times the conflict between his "change" theme but still propping up liberal culture war talking points made me groan. However, Obama is a statesman. He knows how to talk and compel people in a way we haven't seen in a long time.

and McCain? … wowsers!

I think his pick of Sarah Palin was an *amazing* move. I have only seen her a few times but was impressed with her each time. I have slowly, but increasingly, been getting enthused with the McCain campaign. Now, I am totally energized.

Somebody on Fox News said this was like a great novel. I totally agree… GREAT plot twists, interesting characters and epic. And, … I wonder what Hillary thought/said when she found out the news concerning Palin?

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

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.

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

:::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. :)

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