Was it a gimmick? Was Obama's selection a gimmick? Can we realistically ascribe sincerity to political wrangling? That last question is easier to answer.
To forgo political speculation, let us analyze Governor Sarah Palin on the merits. She is certainly a righteous choice by Senator John McCain. Admittedly, it was not pleasing to the sensibilities at the sound of the news, but that is more of a
testament to John McCain's maverick style than my insight.
Sarah Palin just added another crack to that ceiling and I must admit that on an emotional level it is pleasing to the sensibilities. Senator McCain just guaranteed that history would be made. He ensured another chapter in a textbook for future generations to study. I hope I am around when my grandchildren bring home paper detailing the events of 2008.
Do you remember the smell of the rexo-sheets with the purple ink from middle school? It is in the air now, a wisp of nostalgia.
Now, back on the ground the facts are here to be discerned and disseminated to advance the cause.
Governor Sarah Palin has demonstrated the ability to make tough decisions, to buck the status quo and do what is right for the nation. She fought corruption in her own party and took the reigns as a young Governor in the state of Alaska. Sarah Palin is a maverick in her own right.
Sarah Palin entered public life in 1992 on the platform of cutting wasteful spending and corruption. In office, she put her money where her mouth was by voluntarily cutting her own salary and reducing property taxes by 60%
As governor she acted against big oil, championed the creation of a natural gas line against the interests of big oil. She took bold steps to place money back into the pockets of Alaskan motorists via $1,200 rebates. The cure to the energy crisis? No, but it is relief while we combat years of malfeasance and foreign oil addiction.
Like any successful rehab endeavor, it takes years to kick the old destructive habits. What is your respective governor doing in the mean time, are they looking out for you? I know what my governor is doing. Nothing.
