Sarah, Plain and Standing Tall
Gov Sarah Palin - poised, proud, and plain-speaking - showed the country last night that she is the voice for real change in the White House. It was the most anticipated speech of the night for sure - everyone made a point to be in their seats when she stepped out onto center stage to formally introduce herself to her party and the people.
If voters weren't sure about her before, they now have a full menu of reasons to vote for her in November. She's smart, experienced, confident, funny, and best of all - we can relate to her.
In speaking with surrounding delegates in Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, Maine - all are saying the same thing - she's real, she's like us. Ok, so we all don't live in Alaska or have 5 children. That isn't the unifying quality we're picking up on. Instead we like Sarah Palin because she isn't talking down to us or telling us how we need 'change' or more 'hope' to make the world a better place. She doesn't know better than us, she wants better FOR us.
My enthusiasm is only tempered by the immediate onslaught of criticism and attacks she is now receiving. Democrats don't know what to do with a capable woman that isn't on their own ticket. Pregnant daughter didn't derail the Palin Movement (that backfired as America declared it a family matter) - now we're on to questioning her experience. Appropriate, and that should be a good discussion - perhaps we'll get to return the same pointed questions to Obama? I have no doubt Sarah will pass with flying colors. Obama may have to consult with a special council or something first.
Massachusetts had quite the spotlight as well - Mitt Romney spoke, MA's own Jean Inman did the roll call in her role as Secretary of the Convention, and MassGOP Chairman Peter Torkildsen and Kerry Healey took to the microphone to cast our delegation votes unanamously for John McCain! In true Boston spirit, atop the Massachusetts sign was a Boston Red Sox cap. Having a great time alongside my fellow State Committeemembers and MA legislators, especially Betty Poirier and Jay Barrows from my hometown area.
Tonight - John McCain is in the house. Standing room only.

Biden didn't hear her say we are drilling for more oil.....He didn't hear her say the environmental lobby will not get away with showing moose and mountains, when talking about ANWR anymore. There are no mountains or moose in ANWR.
She let it be known that the environmental lobby, which the Democrats represent, instead of the people.....won't get away with lying to the public about what is causing global warming anymore. Alaska had Dinosaurs and a tropical climate before an ice age ever was here. Man didn't create the ice age....so who can claim he caused the ice to melt and the temperature of the earth to go back to its original state.
Obama is going to stop the war.....when is he going to stop the infanticide against the 6 million children that have been killed during the last 4 years in abortion clinics?
Will he stop the war against innocent babies who are water boarded in amniotic fluid, while their limbs are ripped off by a high pressure vacuum cleaner?
Or will he keep saving terrorists at Guantanomo Bay instead. They have rights you know.
Off your baby....save a terrorist Obama/Biden 2008
Sarah plain did great last night. I have already fell in love with her.
Women have jiggled their schedules and families for years to work.
When my children were small we had no day care in our small town,
however, we found babysitters and jiggled our homes and family to
work. Now many of us are still working and jiggling our schedule to
raise grandchildren.
What is the big issue with the news media? Women have worked for years with children, housework, cooking.? They act like Sarah will be the first working woman.
