Here’s another possible McCain running mate who could potentially get my vote in November—but I’m not sure it would set too well with most Alaskans.
As John McCain inches closer to the 1,191 delegates he needs to secure the Republican nomination, attention has turned to the vice presidential sweepstakes. Who should McCain pick as his running mate? The answer will be especially important if the aging four-term senator’s general election foe is a youthful freshman agitating for change.
Sarah Palin, the beautiful conservative Republican governor of Alaska, would be an ideal choice to help McCain slay this unholy ObamaOprah beast which is set to rake in nearly $50 million a month in campaign donations alone, and has intense auxiliary support coming from the unions, George Soros’s billions-infused Democracy Alliance organization, and other rich Democratic networks.
Mrs. Palin is one of conservatism’s own, and would be the first female vice president. She’s young being only 44 (two years behind Senator Obama), she is wildly known to despise government corruption. She defeated a horribly entrenched and corrupt Republican political machine in Alaska. She has a son in the U.S. military. She’s strongly pro-life, belonging, in fact, to Feminists for Life.» Que Sarah, Sarah
She’s also highly popular in Alaska—and it’s unlikely Republicans up there would be very happy about the prospect of losing her to the vice-presidency.
If it brought in votes McCain couldn’t get otherwise, he might just find Alaska’s three electoral votes an acceptable trade-off. But like Condoleezza Rice, Palin would steal the limelight from McCain—which is why this one won’t happen either.
