They are going to get my vote. I am extremely impressed with Palin.

I'm a woman and shoud be impressed by her - but i see her as hard, snarly, sarcastic, bullying, in the fast lane to fame and fury...........smart?  no doubt..........but don't be fooled.......watch and see......you might be surprised.

Sarah Palin brings a whole new demographic and dynamic to the Republican ticket. It will be a lot of fun getting to know her over the next few months.

Simon,

Good to hear that you are getting involved in the process, we need to get more involved and help be part of the system.

Take care!

RJH

Raylene - me too. Extremely impressed.

Anon - nice! Attack without facts and don't put your name to it!

John - I really think they are going to win.

Empire - it's funny I spoke to a good friend who was surprised that I was going to do it. But yes - involving yourself in the process is a wonderful thing.

That's great that you did this.  Also, great thast the response from our youth was so positive.

They have my vote - Really a welcome change! Thanks for your good work.

Simon, Nice to hear you are getting involved in this election. Nothing like rolling up your sleeves and diving in. You're such a wonderful addition to this great country. Keep up the good work !!!!

I'll put my name on this one. How many women are going to vote for a pro-life, rifle toting gal? I'll admit, she is a much better speaker than McCain but talk about experience? How many people does she govern in Alaska? Less than live in the Greater Tucson area...I'm a registered republican, but I can't say this was the choice I would have made. Could she be any further from the middle? Since when has McCain been the far, far right wing? Either way, I don't think they can do any worse than Bush...

Thanks Larry

June - she's real America - that's what has the Dems scared

NJ - Your endorsement means more to me than any other. :)

Patrick - please let's not do the experience thing! The top of the other ticket has LESS experience than she does.

Good for you! I think that is awesome. I wished I had more time but I do donate money which should help some. I'm impressed you did that!

Patrick - I'm a woman and proudly carry my FOID card as I do hunt and have since a little girl. I'm also pro-choice. This woman will vote for her and I know many, many that will.

I am pretty impressed with her.  She certainly has the stuff to run the country... and if McCain is able to pull off the election, she'll have the time to hone that. 

LaNita - well said. You are not the only pro-choice woman I know who will vote for her.

Lane - she is the right stuff for sure.

GOOD for you Simon, I've volunteered for a couple of elections....I wasn't too keen on McCain either but I'm really excited now that he's chosen Sarah as his running mate.  I just may go down to the McCain-Palin headquarters and volunteer too.

Simon - Kudos to you for getting involved in the campaign.  I was also energized by this selection, as McCain was not my favorite from the field of candidates originally.  My wife, who rarely gets interested in politics other than a couple of key issues, is truly excited about Sarah Palin after watching her incredible speech the other night.

Simon- My time to volunteer is delayed until I get my voice back. I was all ready to go on Thursday and then bam, no voice! As soon as I get better you bet your biffy I will be there and get my yard sign while I am at it. I have not had a yard sign since Reagan. I am so excited about Sarah Palin.

Simon ~

Congratulations this post is now featured in Silent Majority of Active Rain!

Simon ~ I also want to volunteer for the McCain / Palin ticket. Thanks for the good example.

Simon - I have spent several years as a member of the local county Republican Executive Committee.  You may want to check whether your precinct has a committeeman.  In Florida you only need to attend a few meetings to go on the committee if there is a vacancy for your location. 

And yes I will be volunteering for phone bank work during the next few months.

Simon, Thank You for volunteering!!!  Now make sure they order a lot more yard signs!

Simon, Awwwwwwwww..........*s* thanks, it means a lot to me that you are so fired up about this election. Like a kid that is at the candy store for the very first time!!! *lol* YOU GO MY FRIEND. ;-)

Simon.

Thanks for volunteering to help elect the next president and vice president of the United States. I am excited about our ticket now!

Good for you.  We all need to support the conservative side.  I'm not a big McCain fan either, but compared Obama ... I like McCain.

Simon, you put together some simply amazing posts.  thanks for being a sound of reason

Bud Hedinger would be proud! =0)

Chris the implementer

Simon, good for you.  You are in one of those states where we really need you to be helping.  My sister is in Colorado and is considering helping also.  I hope all of those swing states get lots of volunteers like you.  Sarah has fired up the base; hasn't she. 

Simon,

I am glad that you volunteered. My wife and I do some type of volunteer work for a candidate each election time. You reminded me that it is time to go volunteer some time and work again this year.

Kudos to you for getting involved in the process. The selection of Sarah Palin has really energized the Democratic base.

We republicans thank you for your effort Simon, and the republican ticket is Strong with Palin.  Whether we individually like her or not, the GOP is finally getting almost equal air time, even on liberal TV stations.  The message is getting out there and much more diversely then it would have with McCain and another nondescript old guard republican.

Good for you.  The McCain-Palin ticket has my vote.  She is terrific and very qualified for the job.

Simon, what a marvelous idea to volunteer! I am going to take your lead and just do that.  Like you, until Governor Palin hit the ticket, I was not that excited, but now I am in all the way!   (I was actually for Huckabee)
