There is a great deal to like about this pick.

Palin on Glenn Beck back in June…

Unlike race-baiting community-organizer B. Hussein Obama, Palin actually has a resume and a record on which to stand. While I’d prefer a PALIN/McCain ticket, this will have to do.

1. Preston…

   I’m with you, Dude…I also would rather see Palin/McCain.

   I awoke this morning to the buzz and for the first time since February, I now actually care about this election.

   (interesting that we pulled the exact same video at the exact same time for our respective posts this morning)

2. Oh yeah…one more thing. She’s SMOKING hot.

   That counts for something, right?

3. She’s an ok choice. She’s only a first term governor who (if elected) will have to resign her post. Is a half-term freshman governor better than a half-term freshman senator?

   Granted, I am very much politically aligned with Gov Palin and she is pretty damn good-looking. Putting that aside, is she really prepared for the VP position?

4. You must be kidding, E. I suppose community organizer and part-time state senator is better? I’d rather have an actual conservative who has worked in the private sector and taken on her own party’s corruption in Alaska on her way to becoming Governor. No contest. I’d rather have her on top of the ticket (pun intended), but I’m very pleasantly surprised with the pick. I’m seeing President Palin in 2012. I’d be way down with that.

5. “You must be kidding, E. I suppose community organizer and part-time state senator is better?”

   Where did I say that?

6. Yes, a half-term freshman governor is better than a half-term freshman senator. Governor, like vice-president, is an administrative position. Senator is a legislative position, and experience in the legislature has nothing to do with qualifications for an administrative position.
   And the half-term freshman governor is running for the secondary position, which will give her time to learn. The half-term freshman senator is running for the top position, about which he knows exactly zero.

7. Politically, I think she is an excellent choice. However, that is also part of my concern. Is this merely an effort to win over the Hillary supporters who are scared to death of the Obamessiah?

8. I’m not so sure that a pro-life candidate of either sex will win any Hillary supporters. What this is, is McCain’s final recognition that conservatives are also voters.

9. E, that was not really aimed at you. It was a pathetical question, if you will. Trish covered the rest of it quite nicely.

   I think Trish needs a login.

10. The elitist fun has already started:

    “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Adrianne Marsh, a spokeswoman for Obama, said in a written statement.

    And how much foreign policy experience does Barry have?

    Our country is chopped full of towns of 9000 good people. If they start attacking on this basis, they are making a mistake.

11. And with McCain at a spritely 81 years old, we have a good chance at getting a real woman president rather than a bulldozer in a pantsuit.

    It would make the 2012 election fun too as the “hey vote for me because if you don’t you are a sexist” would fall flat.

    Yeah, I think I’ll make it to the polls this Nov.

12. Trish has a good point, but don’t underestimate the power of good ol’ fashioned spite.

    Palin is their excuse.

13. I think she’s great. I’m enthusiastic for the first time. Palin’s policy on the caribou: cook ‘em.

14. Good choice for vice president. McCain has moved conservatives to his camp.
