Being a hold my nose and vote for McCain conservative I had been waiting on pins and needles for his veep announcement for a day and a half, praying, please don’t throw the base under an imported bus again.  Not announcing just before “the chosen ones” speech I assumed it would be Friday PM.

Enjoying my typical Friday lunch, I was in a strip mall parking lot trying to cram a subway down my neck as fast as humanly possible so I could make it back to work in time for my 1:00 while listening to Rush on my car radio.

I missed the meeting.

To say John McCain was not my first choice is akin to saying dead bug stew is not my first choice as a snack for my Super Bowl party. It’s not like I would vote for “the chosen ones” and not voting at all is in reality the same thing, but I was missing the excitement of ’04.

At first I was dumbfounded, he picked who? As I listened to the introduction I dropped my meatball and pepperoni sub on the floor board, this is too good to be true. When she addressed the crowd I was listening intently while trying to save my floor mats, Wow! I put the floor mats in the garbage can, what the hell 30 bucks, didn’t like the color anyway.

What a slam dunk, more real experience than the top of the other ticket, pro life, pro family, pro reform, pro gun, pro America and she not only supports the war on terror she has a son in the US Army.

And for a real windfall (no big oil witticism intended) not only can she give Washington the real scoop on our need to increase domestic oil production she can probably do the drilling.

I believe that John McCain with his outstanding (a word one doesn’t normally associate with him) selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, has not only insured his victory in November but given conservatives and Republicans a lock on the White House for at least the next 12 years.

There will never be another Ronald Reagan but this woman has the potential, the values, the charisma and she’s a hottie. Am I allowed to say that? It’s about time we had one on our side (sorry Margaret).

Thank you John McCain we’re along way from square you and I, but obviously you do listen and you’re headed in the right direction. Ahhh what the heck…forget about the sandwich.
