Sarah Palin – The Perfect Choice?
By jbcobb | August 29, 2008
I’m jumping on this one early. It makes sense, and it looks like all the pieces are in place. It seems that John McCain may make a bold move by selecting Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential candidate. This could all be moot in a couple of hours as we are staring down a McCain-Ridge or McCain-Whitman ticket, but let’s just take a look at Palin, the possible perfect choice.
The Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, will shake up the race for the White House. I have been on record many times stating that this is the worst choice of presidential candidates ever. I stand by that firmly. Last night’s fireworks display, not rhetorical fireworks (those were simply the same old mundane blah, blah, socialism, blah, blah, change, blah, socialism, blah), and big set and talk of the “American promise” (which seems to mean a promise of cradle to grave government support), could be completely upstaged by a true new face on the scene.
This choice will, seemingly, shore up conservative support due to her pro-life stance and her pro-2nd amendment stance. She is also a supporter of drilling in ANWR, and should be familar with that issue, since she governs the state. She should excite female voters, because she will be only the second ever choice for VP and the first one (Ferraro-Mondale had NO CHANCE of winning) with a real shot at being successful. She’s approachable, a mother of five, and well…it doesn’t hurt that she was a runner-up for Miss Alaska…really?
Governor Palin is young, only 44, but she is the MOST POPULAR governor in America. While she will be attacked for lack of experience, she has more LEADERSHIP experience than all three of the other major players combined. They have only been very unsuccessful legislative flunkies in Washington, who have accomplished nothing. This woman has actually had to LEAD a state. She reduced Alaskan property taxes 60% andreduced her own salary while serving as mayor of Wasilla.
Sarah Palin defeated a sitting Republican governor, and former Democratic governor who outspent her, on the way to becoming the youngest governor in Alaska history. Immediately, she put the state governor’s jet up for sale, and said Alaskans should be more self-sufficient and rely less on federal funds. She is also famous for killing the famous “Bridge to Nowhere”.
While I am a libertarian, a big supporter of Ron Paul, and have developed a healthy hate for recent GOP candidates to go along with total fear of the Democrats and their Big Brother socialism, this choice seems like a breath of fresh air. I’m not convinced that she could be a true change in politics as normal, but she seems like a far more acceptable candidate than the other big government dinosaurs with names on the major party tickets. This could be first truly interesting development in the two-year long presidential campaign, well, since Ron Paul decided to run.
