Alaska Governor Sarah Palin For VP?
It’s been rumored before, and those rumors (and support for them) seem to be getting louder:
As John McCain inches closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to secure the Republican nomination, attention has turned to the vice presidential sweepstakes. Who should McCain pick as his running mate? The answer will be especially important if the aging four-term senator’s general election foe is a youthful freshman agitating for change.
Sarah Palin, the beautiful conservative Republican governor of Alaska, would be an ideal choice to help McCain slay this unholy ObamaOprah beast which is set to rake in nearly $50 million a month in campaign donations alone, and has intense auxiliary support coming from the unions, George Soros’s billions-infused Democracy Alliance organization, and other rich Democratic networks.
Mrs. Palin is one of conservatism’s own, and would be the first female vice president. She’s young being only 44 (two years behind Senator Obama), she is wildly known to despise government corruption. She defeated a horribly entrenched and corrupt Republican political machine in Alaska. She has a son in the U.S. military. She’s strongly pro-life, belonging, in fact, to Feminists for Life.
Gov. Palin could become the Republican Party’s Segolene Royal, the French Socialist Party’s glamorous leader known for her heels and political bite. She is the perfect antidote to Sen. Obama’s cheap thrills, and would help rejuvenate conservatism.
I agree, and in fact Palin recently had a meeting with McCain ostensibly to discuss Alaska-centric issues (Palin is for drilling in ANWR, McCain is against it) but it’s hard to imagine that the meeting wasn’t also an interview for a possible VP spot.
Plus, after that meeting Palin made a strong case for federalism saying she’d like to make her state less dependent on federal money. That’s something we don’t hear a lot from Republicans these days, and it’s refreshing.
