I am very excited for this ground-breaking ticket that McCain has chosen for our party's nomination. I think that Gov. Palin will be an excellent vice presidential candidate and that she accurately represents the morals, and social beliefs of the party that I put my trust and loyalty in. However, I don't consider her my first choice for McCain's second and I actually think he should have select Romney. From a policy standpoint Romney and Palin are close enought that it is a wash, but Romney has such a strength of character and a wealth of experience to pull on that Palin does not it makes me worry just a little for the VP debates against Biden. Palin is going to need a lot of coaching to step into the big-boy realm and I hope that our party is ready to give that to her. Also, the only chink I see in her armor (she has had an amazingly exemplary record as Governor) is the whole business with firing her brother in-law. I don't like the possible mud slinging ads that can be played for that. I think we need to have ads and a prepared text to deal with that so that the democrats aren't able to make it seem more than the nothing incident that it is. So Palin is going to be great for this country I just want to make sure that everyone on the team is ready to prepare her for a long fight to November.
