After this announcement it’s been nothing but “Obama who” in the media.  I love it.  Granted, it was a great speech; I’d say full of generalities but one might expect that from such a Hollywood scripted, propped, rock concert of a convention.  Obamapa-losers! Really, Kanye, honestly…did it change your life?  It certainly wasn’t close to an “I Have A Dream” speech.  Pull yourself together. I’ve been moved more emotionally from reading my electric bill usage statistics.

McCain shook ‘em up today by picking what essentially seems to be a you and me.  That’s what this PTA Mom to V.P. is.  She’s someone like you and me.  Someone who got concerned about their kids futures, got involved on a local level very close to home and as MadTV’s Keegan-Michael Key would say “took it to a hole ‘nother level.”

A month or so ago when Bill Kristol alluded to a Palin pick,  that actually sat well with me.  But I never thought it would play out this well.  Her speech was played and re-played all-day-long.

Barack’s speech made the lead story on Entertainment Tonight.  Very fitting.  This jpg of Obama by Stogie on Michelle Malkin.com speaks volumes.

“I promise to, uh, repeat history by initiating the Fall of the Western Empire.”

And I’m tired of some of these women standing up squalking, “Do they think we are shallow enough to presume we’ll go along with this ticket just because she’s a woman?”  Ladies, you’re missing the point.  McCain saw another up and coming Maverick with the inside scoop on Big Oil who has a record of crushing extravagant government spending.  She seized an opportunity to use a budget surplus from oil revenues to give back to the community.  Give her some credit.  She’s got more experience in one month at the executive level as Governor than Backtrack Barack would get in six years as a legislator.  This was well thought out and when the cards hit the table, it was a royal flush.  Obama highlights were definatelty flushed, unless of course NBC is your only source of stimulis.

She’s definately fulfilled McCain’s promise of a running mate whose pro-life values would hold true.  And from what I understand she can put the smack down in a debate.  This will be fascinating.  Let’s hope Cousin John was right when he said, “I hope she’s a better shot than Cheney.”

She certainly is a fine looking bird.
