Sara Palin

I don’t always agree with John McCain but I do agree with his choice for Vice-President. In fact I wouldn’t mind if they switched places on the ticket. Surprisingly, the biggest issue in this campaign is not the war but the economy. One of the largest (if not the largest) problems with the economy is oil is prices. Sara Palin, as governor of Alaska is an expert on oil and drilling. Unlike Dick Cheney, who also was an expert on oil (as CEO of an oil services firm), Palin has been a critic of big oil companies.

McCain should rethink his opposition to drilling in ANWR. T. Boon Pickens is running television ads supporting his alternative energy plans. At the beginning of the commercial he urges the U.S. to “drill drill drill” but also invest in alternative energy. That should be McCain’s message, though he need not necessarily endorse Pickens specific approach. Palin is the woman to make that argument.

That’s one reason I think she is a great choice. Other reasons include her being a pro-life fiscal conservative. She seems to me to be a person of strong conviction and great conviction. She is a great conservative and feminist role model. She has both a large loving family and a high powered career. Best of all she drives the lunatic left positively off the deep end.
