McCain picks Alaska governor Sarah Palin for VP

This is pretty cool. While I would rather the actual nominee for President (not just VP) be a real conservative (and not someone, say, who's been duped by the gore-bull warming crap), this VP choice is great from my standpoint. One of the things libs always wrongly accuse conservatives of is being racist and sexist -- by just assigning labels and calling names they don't have to address the actual issues and arguments with intellectual debate. So it's pretty ironic that the GOP could end up with the first woman in the White House that's not a First Lady. She supports drilling in ANWR (which, unfortunately, McCain does not). See link here: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080830/D92SIC400.html

It's funny how the media / libs wanted McCain to pick Leiberman and be a "maverick". But if the libs are who we're trying to defeat in the election, why should McCain pick a VP candidate that said libs would PREFER?

Personally, I wouldn't mind if Palin and McCain switched spots on the ticket...
