What a fantastic choice!

Earlier today on one of the talk shows I heard a caller say they are once again proud to be a Republican. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's meteoric rise to vice-presidential candidate has a lot of people gasping, perhaps herself as well. What an honor and what a challenge, especially when there are so many who will say she's too young and inexperienced. But that's the point of our government, isn't it? Citizens run it, not trained professionals. We don't send gifted high-schoolers to graduate school and take Elected Public Official 101. Its supposed to be us common folk who have lives and jobs and families and take a couple of years out of our busy lives to help run the government. It should happen more often. And I have a strong belief that Governor Palin will get herself up to speed. Senator Biden could be in for a tough time.
