As most of you know by now, Senator McCain has chosen Governor Palin from Alaska as his Vice Presidential candidate. There is much speculation about why did he make this pick, how quickly did he make it, and how qualified is she.
First, let’s address why did he make this pick and how quickly did he make it. The answer is: It doesn’t matter!! All that we should be concerned with is how good will she be for America. Is she a good pick?
Immediately after she was chosen, the Obama camp released this statement:
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,”
How is this relevant? McCain camp could put a similar ad stating this:
“Senator Barack Obama, former community organizer with zero foreign policy experience, not to mention zero executive experience is running to be President of the United States”
She may be governor of a state that only occupies less than 700,000 people, but her approval is over 80%. 700,000 can be a sample size for the whole U.S. She has such a high approval rating because she is truly a good American that has fought corruption on both sides of the aisle and we should all be excited to have her in such an office. Whether McCain made this decision because of Hilary Clinton not being nominated for Vice President, doesn’t really matter. The point is, she is a great pick and now that I have had time to review her accomplishments in such a short time, I would take her as a Vice President over any of the other candidates. We need more people like Governor Palin in Washington!
Just a couple of thoughts…

I just learned that earlier today Governor Palin made an announcement that her daughter was pregnant. I was on youtube earlier where I saw some people stating some horrible things about her as a parent. Can we hold your parents accountable for mishaps in your life? We all make our own mistakes, but out of such mistakes can come great things.
My parents are amazing people, but when I screwed up (which was frequent!), they stood by me. What defines us as human beings is not the situations that happen, but how we deal with the situations. I don’t want to post too much about this, other than, I think it is classless to attack someone based on the actions of their family.
Just another thought…
