McCain picks Palin - I now fully support the ticket…

By Scott • on August 29, 2008

Today John McCain announced his pick for his Vice Presidential running mate… Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. I was a bit taken back.

I would have liked to have seen our own Eric Cantor as the choice. I believed, and still believe that Eric Cantor would be an excellent VP and bring many conservatives on board (like myself) the McCain campaign. I still have a lot of issues with McCain.

But with Sarah Palin… a real gutsy move. She is conservative. She is a like minded soul when it comes to being “out there”.

But I have to wonder. Was the choice based on gender? Was John McCain specifically targeting the disgruntled HRC voters? I don’t know. I don’t really care.

I believe I can finally, fully support John McCain’s ticket now. Sarah Palin brings a conservative posture to the ticket that McCain lacks by himself. It’s a good choice.

Republican John McCain introduced first-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate Friday, a stunning selection of a fellow maverick designed to get an edge in the increasingly competitive White House race. -=SOURCE=-
