Palin: I Called It In February
B
ack on February 12, I wrote this on C-SM:
All in all, I confess: I’m too new to Palin to say she’s #1 for the #2 slot, but she’s definitely an intriguing possibility.
Being me, I led off my analysis with this:
Where is she on policy? Who cares! McCain needs a hottie on his ticket, right? Just kidding, although she single-handedly knocks off the post-Mitt GOP ugly stick, doesn’t she?
On to policy points: I said she’s anti-corruption, she’s a fierce hawk on government over-spending, she’s right on the bogus polar bear listing so she understands the politicization of global warming, she’s pro-energy, pro-life and right on same-sex marriage (opposing it, but supporting equal rights for gay couples).
What’s particularly exciting in the Palin nod is that it shows McCain as new, a hope-bringer who is anything but McSame, while in Biden we see Obama is old-school, tired, political hack … O’Same.
We’ve got a new campaign, ladies and gentlemen, and all of a sudden the VP debate is #1 on my must see list. Poor Joe Biden – he’s been dealt a blow between the eyes; he’s walking around dead and doesn’t even know it yet.

Laer,You TOTALLY called this. I remember reading this on C-SM back when.I am so excited about this pick. Not only is she a governor (exec experience), she is a pro-life Christian, pro-drilling, pro-gun and fiscally conservative. Not to mention stunning!It’s a great day to be a conservative! God is at work in this pick, I just know it.Steve, formerly of Double ToothpicksThe man who put the Hypen in CHEAT-SEEKING MISSILES!

Hey, nice to hear from you Steve! Yep, I was jumping up and down in my car when I heard it – good thing no cops were around.

Laer –
The base is stoked! Dobson called into the Prager show and said that he was now committed to vote for McCain/Palin. He had been with a group of about 400 who all watched the announcement together and he said that the energy in the air was electric!
Sure did put a damper on the day-after-the-Dems news cycle. Hillary is probably freakin’ and if you go to HufPo, the Left is going nuts.
Fun!

I’m sure that it has dawned on Obama that Biden was a mistake – - but now it’s too late. The flak spewing from the Obama campaign sounds to me like the squealing and snarling of a wounded animal. The choice of Palin will hurt them, bigtime, and here they are stuck with boring Joe Biden. The attacks on Palin are superb stuff to work with – - she’s only been the mayor of a small town? Obama hasn’t been the mayor of his neighborhood watch. Oh, and while we’re on that, thanks for re-insulting the 100,000,000 of us who live in the sticks. She’s only been governor of Alaska for a short time? Puts her ahead of Obama, who has had no executive office experience at all. Not even a day. Like comedies have a laugh track, the stuff coming out of Obama Central should have a gaffe track. “They will try to make you afraid . . . inexperienced . . . too young . . . and have you heard? She’s a woman?” Ooops . . . there goes the race card!

Yes, you did, Laer. It was at your blog that I first become conscious of her existence. Good call!
