Speaking of the vice presidential nominee, what a breath of fresh air Governor Sarah Palin is.<\/p>\n
She is from a small town, with small town values, but that’s not good enough for those folks who are attacking her and her family.<\/p>\n
Some Washington pundits and media big shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit. Well, give me a tough Alaskan Governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state in the Union — and won — over the beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week.<\/p>\n
Let’s be clear … the selection of Governor Palin has the other side and their friends in the media in a state of panic. She is a courageous, successful, reformer, who is not afraid to take on the establishment.<\/p>\n
Sound like anyone else we know?<\/p>\n
She has run a municipality and she has run a state.<\/p>\n
And I can say without fear of contradiction that she is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose … with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt.<\/p>\n
She and John McCain are not going to care how much the alligators get irritated when they get to Washington, they’re going to drain that swamp.<\/p>\n
But tonight, I’d like to talk to you about the remarkable story of John McCain…<\/p>\n
