Sarah Palin=Wonder Woman + Margaret Thatcher

Five Days ago few outside of Alaska had heard of Sarah Palin. In that short time she has inspired the base of one political party, engendered the wrath of the far left activists of the other party and its media allies and made her acceptance speech on Wednesday at the GOP Convention possibly the most significant political event of the year. How did this happen? It happened because John McCain in a stroke of daring genius picked a person of extraordinary personal accomplishments and principled political positions to be his running mate. Sarah Palin the Miss Congeniality of a beauty pagent, the Barracuda point guard on a state championship basketball team, the marathoner, NRA-member mother of five who worked as a sportcaster, helped manage a family business and served as a city councilwoman , mayor, Energy Commission Chairman and Governor of country's largest state with 20 percent of its energy resources represents multi-tasking on steroids. All that is lacking is any indication of her ability to leap tall buildings in a single bounce. All this has been accomplished without access to family wealth or connections to open doors for her. Her resume is matched by her principles: Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Military, Pro-Economic Growth, Pro-Reform and Pro-Energy Independence--and she has put the principles into practice in her public life. Her speech to the GOP Convention and her debate with Joe Biden will be High Noon moments in the current campaign. The prediction here is that she will be the Gary Cooper of 2008. Final Thought: Hillary Clinton spent about $250 million on her run for the Presidency, her campaign is heavily in debt and she is not on the Democrat ticket. Sarah Palin did not spend a nickle and has about a 50 percent chance of becoming the first woman VP in U.S. history. Only in America!!!
