Is Palin going to make the difference?
I saw this at Michelle Malkin’s, where she put up a post celebrating McCain’s choice for VEEP.
I’m just wondering if McCain’s choice is going to make that much of a difference, considering his history as far as working with John Kerry to normalize relations with Vietnam at the expense of POW/MIA families by burying that issue forever, and numerous other things - such as preferring to work with democrats rather than people in his own party.
If Palin was running for President, though, I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.
But…she has a 4-month old downs syndrome baby at home. As VEEP, how much attention will she be able to give this newborn child with a disability? The flipside of this, of course, is Obama’s reaction to Jill Stanek’s testimony of holding a downs syndrome baby for 45 minutes while it died - after picking it up out of a soiled laundry area of the hospital she was working in. Jill Stanek’s testimony about children born alive after their mothers attempt to abort them–is sad and compelling. Obama had little sympathy for the downs syndrome child whose mother didn’t want him; while Palin fairly recently gave birth to one with the same defect.
This is one tough cookie in my estimation, a brand new mother like that, joining McCain as his veep candidate….
Update: Third World County:
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. Sarah Palin was on MSNBC with some Mass Media Podpeople Chicky, and Palin knocked me for a loop. The Q&A went something like this:
Mass Media Podpeople Chicky: “*Blah, blah blah blah?*”
Palin: “*Rapid-fire, on target, forceful, clear, sensible answer without a buncha meaningless buzz words*”
Lather, rinse, repeat.
No bullshit! I was stunned. A politician talking w/o bullshit? Look for the apocalypse.
Lame Cherry puts it quite well in Sarah Palin: America’s Chance:
Pretty in life usually does not mean a great deal inside, but in Sarah Palin one finds a lady who carried a down syndrome baby last year to full term and delivered that baby in putting into life all of the things in the Bible, the United States Constitution and what so many people who talk of “life” have nothing to back up what they are saying but words.
There is something telling about a lady who has invested now her remaining life to nurture one child that the world said she could have aborted.
Of course what LC is referring the Obamaworld/nation which is so clueless, it can’t figure out when life begins. I’m going to have to put this to prayer.

I believe that McCain is a shoe in for president because the democratic party is STILL not unified under Obama. many democrats at my workplace have said that they will vote McCain because Hillary isn’t the democrat candidate.
Oh and Cao, where is the best place to find information about Sarah Palins’ views and voting record?

Here’s what I’ve been able to collect so far:
Sarah Palin - entry at Wikipedia (take it with a block of salt) - although there is a lot of good information on her there.
Here is a short bio on her as governor of Alaska.
