Sarah, Sarah!

Brian jokingly refers to my Republican Presidential candidate pick, then after last February, my Republican Vice President pick as my "boyfriend". As you can understand, after studying the economy for the last year and listening to all of the candidates I was 100% for Mitt Romney. The 'boyfriend' reference is because I am so supportive of him. I often refer to him as the smartest economist in the world, a fix it guy, and I also have him on my top 5 list of people to meet in my lifetime. So, I was very disappointed when Brian woke me up last week to tell me that Mitt Romney was not McCain's VP choice. I started rattling off who else I thought it was. I never guessed Sarah Palin (Brian and I just referred to her as the woman from Alaska) was even a serious candidate, and honestly I didn't know anything about her.

So, not too happy with John McCain's decision, I started reading about who the heck Sarah Palin is to try to understand why he picked her. I hoped it wasn't just political angle to get Hilary voters because she is a woman. After I read multiple sites about her I was truly impressed. I set the DVR to record the entire 3rd day of the Republican National Convention. Not only to see my 'boyfriend' deliver another awesome speech, but to hear Sarah's view directly from her. I was BLOWN away by her confidence, her fight, her position on Drilling, her position on big government and, ironically enough (since all the media said was the opposite), I was impressed with her track record and experience.

So, GO SARAH! What an inspiration you are to PTA and 'Hockey' Mom's, young women, and female college students to remember that we have a voice and can make a difference. Who knows... maybe in 13 years I can be a Vice President Nominee too!
