Palin It Is

Surprising pick from the McCain campaign but what a great one I think. Palin adds executive experience, a pro-life record, an NRA favorite, a woman, taking a safe Republican state back into that very safe category, and her speech today was great.

Dem's have already been heckling me saying that she has no experience. Well she certainly has more than Barack Obama. They say she has no foreign policy positions either, well neither does Obama. If you lined up their resumes and asked who was running for President it'd be tough to say. Anyways, I'd rather have the experience at the top of the ticket than having to boost it at the bottom as Obama did with Biden.

Great pick, a bit risky, but definitely a game changer.

Seriously? I hate to link to DailyKos, but let's compare resumes, shall we?
