What a refreshing breath of fresh air is Gov. Sarah Palin.

Yeah, it could be a big gamble, choosing a woman on your ticket. The prevailing argument is that if Hillary hadn’t been involved, then Palin probably wouldn’t be the choice for VP.

So what? That’s politics.

The fact is, she has been chosen, and now all the “HopenChangey” garbage coming out of the Obama camp takes another hit. It’s first hit occured when they chose the old war horse Biden. Not a lot of Change involved there.

And with Palin now part of the RNC ticket, the first thing out of the mouth of the Order of Obama was that she was too inexperienced to lead.

Excuse me? This from Mr. “143 Days and then Two Years of Running for President” Obama? I wouldn’t hire him to run a company, let alone the country. His pledged plans for Change in policy should scare the stink out of any sane American. Particularly those that run small businesses.

I’m looking forward to some exciting debates between these two parties. Although I admit that I don’t know how all the negative ad campaigns that the liberal left will run against Palin will affect her ability to debate. Or, for that matter, her debating skills.

But I think we’ve seen a preview of the Obama vs McCain debating skills, and I’m really looking forward to that. Obama is all talk, and has no history. At least McCain has a history to help a voter make a decision with.

Me? I really wasn’t big on McCain, and I still have some issues. Overall, I was leaning towards sending him a vote. But some things have happened that have sent me much closer to choosing the RNC ticket.

The Saddleback Debate – which wasn’t much of a debate – was the first. Obama looked like he couldn’t find an answer for any question, while McCain didn’t do a lot of searching, but just blurted out his answer.

Russia and Georgia. An issue that isn’t resolved. Obama wants to hold hands and talk to his new friend Putin. McCain sees “KGB” in the eyes of Putin, not a friend. McCain called it right again. An indicator of his understanding of foreign issues.

And, of course, choosing Palin for the VP position on the ticket. I’d seen an interview with her on Glenn Beck’s show a few months back, and I was really impressed with her then. I’m delightfully surprised that she’s McCain’s choice.

That choice alone, I think, has sold me on the RNC ticket.

Now… for those debates…
