Sarah Palin is indeed a very attractive choice. Unfortunately, Mr. McCain is not known for making the best choices. I remember this quite well from my own experiences in the McCain camp during the 2000 election cycle.

Let me pose this question: Should the GOP really be concerned with trying to attract “Hillary” voters, or is it preferably to try to steal or sway actual “Obama” voters? If the answer is the latter, would perhaps Condoleeeeza Rice be an interesting choice to consider? Tapping Secretary Rice not only addresses the gender issue, but also addresses the…dare I say…race issue attached to Mr. Obama? I realize that Rice carries some baggage from the not-so-popular war (or, as my friends in the South might say… “the late unpleasantness”), but certainly no more baggage on the issue than McCain himself, who has chosen to attach himself to an issue that has very little popular support.

Desperately seeking Sarah
Americans need a little Palin Power

Sarah Palin the current Governor of Alaska is John McCain’s ultimate choice for VP. I do believe a woman is next in line for the presidency. All Conservatives like her. She is popular in Alaska. Hillary supporters would relish her. She would solidify a 12 or possibly 16 year Republican executive.

John McCain’s boring campaign is wearing thin. I need a little Palin Power to get me interested again. They would say ‘but she is only a half term Governor!’ And your point is?

That’s all I have to say about that!”
