What A Powerhouse!

I think the women of this country are going to speak louder than ever in this election. We women may just be the catalysts for change our country back into something that people are willing to fight for! I'm so excited about it all! It's about time!!!

"Palin was wonderful when she said "it is one thing to promote change to further your career and another to use your career to create change"!!" Amen to that! Obama can't put his money where his mouth is. He's all mouth!

Very true thank you for adding that, I should have included that in my response. I do realize that these speeches are edited by the person giving the speech and do include their input. Very proud of this woman and the joke about the hockey mom if I recall that was something she said also back when first speaking to McCain. Loved it!

I definitely think she is a breath of fresh air. And, I was planning to vote for McCain before she came on board so I am really excited now. As far as her being a sidekick, I don't think this woman is anyone's sidekick. She may be the first Vice President that doesn't sit on the sidelines, which would be great! But even more importantly, I am looking to the future with this woman and I definitely don't want Obama in office. I find too many problems with that man in office and I don't want more taxes or government programs or government anything. Obama is just going to do what his party wants him to do and continue flip-flopping. Plus the fact, I'm still concerned about the fact that when his teleprompter went out, he couldn't form a coherent sentence. The President cannot afford to be that tied to a speech. And, the biggest reason I don't want Obama in office is the desire he has to disarm our country. That is a stupid, brainless thing to do in the atmosphere of terrorism of this world. The reason we are having the difficulties we're having with enough troops to win in Iraq is because Clinton pulled back on our military. He was an idiot and our troops are now paying the price.

I'm just really excited about her and the whole election now. I was sort of on the fence about how I felt before even though I'd already planned to vote for McCain, but now I'm actually excited.

Amen! I'm so excited now! I even heard people in the media praising her this morning. They even like her! One of our local news people was excited about her and this woman is a liberal. I think the Republicans just bamboozled the Democrats! And I'm thrilled!

she was a good pick for the GOP definitely! I am voting for the McCain/Palin ticket!

I think the fact that she's a regular person with a regular family and is so down to earth is going to speak volumes to people all over this country. I think that she is the perfect choice and women are going to get behind her in droves because she's one of us. I don't mean just because she's female but because she's real with who she is. And, I think that it's because she is female that she's able to be that. Most men are so busy trying to impress someone that they have no clue about how to be themselves in a public arena. I think Palin just showed everyone what it means to be real. Hillary certainly couldn't pull it off because she's spent too many years having to hide who she is because of her jerk of a husband. Palin has a stable marriage and family. Even though her daughter got pregnant, the fact that Palin and her husband are as strong and supportive of their daughter shows that the girl is going to do okay. I noticed Bristol was nervously holding her boyfriend's hand through the whole thing. She seemed almost scared to let go of him. And, I couldn't really read him so far. Of course, the poor boy has been thrust into the national spotlight in a week's time and is dealing with a whole lot for an 18 year old. I wish them all the best. This actually may pull the two kids into a tighter relationship just to get through everything. I certainly hope so.

I agree wholeheartedly! I think we're all feeling that way this morning! And, I also liked what Mike Huckabee said about the media. He thanked them for uniting the Republican party. How awesome can you get?!

As her mother in law said, "She's a quick learner."

I'm with you, kenzie! I'm so excited about helping these two get elected! Like I said above, it's about time we women had a shot at running things. I didn't care for Hillary in the White House but this woman is definitely my pick! And, the thing with special ed/challenged kids is going to take her a long way because there are so many families out there with special needs kids who need someone in their corner. One of my co-workers said that I shouldn't vote Republican because they are only for the rich people. I told her I planned to be one of the rich people. She said that I wasn't yet but I disagree. Being rich or being poor is a mind set and as long as you think you're poor, you'll stay that way and if you think on a socialistic basis of depending on the government to help you, you are always going to be poor! I'll stick with those who esteem to prosper! I've been wealthy and I've been without and I can tell you that having money is a whole lot better than being without it. It's not the be all and end all of things but I can tell you from experience that it's a lot better when you have it and don't have to wonder whether you'll have enough to buy what you need. I'm not sure why I got off on that but I think I feel another post coming on!
